the State Of Idaho against William d
HAYWOOD, charged with the murder Of
Frank steunenberg, former governor
OF the state, will rest with judge and
Jury by tonight. Clarence barrow,
after speaking for IL hours, concluded
the final plea for Haywood's life at
30 D. M, and at o'clock last even
ing United States Senator BoIah opened
the closing argument for the prosecu-
ton. He will speak for three sessions,
or about seven hours. Judge Fremont
Wood will instruct and charge the jury
on Saturday morning.
Mr.. Borah's speech was sensation.
From time to time he turned on coun-
sell for the defense, fierce denunciatIon
pouring from his lips, and at times
brought protests from Mr.. Richardson
and Mr.. barrow, but with blazing eyes
and hot words he sileuced every effort
to break the rush of words. The eli
max was reached, when in behalf OF
the state of Idaho, its people, it's COVER
nor and himself he disclaimed all in
tention or desire to give immunity to
Orchard. Finally, his face pale and
voice Quivering with emotion, the GEN.
ator raised his arm and said:
'If should ever join In or give APP
proval to immunity To this man
hope the great God may witber my
right arm in the socket ,,
Mr.. Borah declared the state did not
want Haywood convicted of any crime
for which Orchard or Pettibone or
Meyer or Simpkins or anybody else was
and desired verdict Of
guilty only II the evidence was deemed
sufficient to warrant such q conclusion. |
The senator denounced Clarence Oar

,ad been poisoned against the defend
lnts in this case. Nowhere, he de-

Negro Servant Girl Has Serious Acci-
 dent at Centreville.
 Centreville, Dec. S.-(Special. )-Yes- terday morning, a negro girl about 16 family of J. T. Ellison. a well known attorney of this place, was seriously and perhaps fatally burned.
 She was standing in front of the open grate in MT. Ellison's home when her clothing became ignited and in an instant she was covered by the flames But for the prompt assistance of the members of MT. Ellison's family she would have burned to death in a very short while. The attending physician says that she will probably recover.
 The Masonic lodge at this place held it's regular monthly meeting on yester- day and several new members were added to the roll of membership. This lodge is one of the oldest in Alabama and is now in the most fourishing con- dition in its history.
 Rev. J. NJ. Glenn, pastor of the Methodist Church at this place is now attending annual conference of the Meth odist Church at Enterprise. MT. Glenn has made a faithful pastor du- ring the two years he has had charge of the church here and is quite popu- lar with the people regardless of de- nomination.
 u SeeulS pEODdDlt Iudl lHS OinCc Ol County Treasurer for this County will be very much sought after at the next election. There are aIready four avowed candidates. The present Treas urer, Nelson Fuller, will offer again, and R. J. Jones, who was for many years Tax Collector of this County, will ask for the place at the next pri- mary election, as will County Commits sioner w. T. Steele, as well as G. A. Blake. a prominent citizen of Bloctop. All of these men stand high with the people and the race will no doubt be very interesting.
 On yesterday Dr. William Peters of this place received a message that his uncle Thomas Peters, prominent citi- zen of Perry County. was stricken with paralysis and was In a critical condi- tion. Dr. Peters left at once for the bedside of his uncle.
 Miss Inez Sinnot, who was quite sick last week. is very much improved.
 pr. NJ c. Thomas, a prominent citi- zen of Belle Ellen, spent several days the latter part of the week with friends here.
