Two Long Addresses.
Aubrey Strobe. Of counsel for the &C

the State spoke. each making an elo-
quent appeal 10 the jury in an address
lasting more than two hours. When
they had concluded Judge Barksdale
stated 10 the counsel on both sides that.
owing to the great strain under which
all had been laboring since the trial
began, he would not hold a night ses-
sion. Mr.. Bouldin speaks today in be-
half Of the Commonwealth. while R.
Walton Moore, one of the most eloquent
lawyers in Virginia, will address the
jury for the defense.
Had there been no delay in submitting

StrOde's Strong Appeal.

Mr.. STROBE. who is from Amherst coun-
~, is the youngest of the four attor-
neys in the case. He made a strong ap-
peal before the jury. addressing himself
more particularly to the fact that the
jury was to consider the point that the
accused received the information from
his daughter that an assault had been
attempted upon her. He called attention
70 the ruling of the court as laid down in
the instructions. and emphasized the
Importance Of following out these in
structions in reaching a verdict
In his argument Mr.. Harmon attacked
the insanity plea as resorted to by the
defense, and stated that If Judge Low
ing was insane at the time he killed
young Estes every man who had killed
a man in Virginia was insane. and
could have claimed this as immunity
from punishment under the law The
attorney for the Commonwealth as
serted that in every act leading up to
the killing, Judge Loving had exhibited
due reflection. and that his crime was
not the result of a passionate frenzy.
but was deliberate. and done in mo-
ments when the accused was possessed
Of all his mental faculties.

Thirty three Instructions.

There were thirty-three instructions,
covering nine pages of typewriter
paper. and embracing all the law points
relating in any way to the case.
The attendance in court was larger
than on any day since Miss Loving was
placed upon the stand. and so anxious
were many Of the Houstonians TO hear
the arguments of the attorneys that
many stood until court adjourned. Mrs
Loving, wife Of the accused. occupied a
seat by her husband. Her sister, Miss
Sneed, accompanied her. Both women
were dressed in black, with wells to
match.
The little woman who has stood so
nobly bys her husband since he was in
dlcted for the murder of young Estes
is beginning TO show the strain under
which she has been laboring. Today she
anDeared pale, her eyes were sunken,
and as she entered the courtroom she
dlsplayed' perceptible nervousness
which did not leavee her the whole time
that court was in session.
The argument of Mr.. Strobe deeply af-
fected Mrs. Loving. and when he re-
ferred 70 the once promising career OF
Judge Loving she hid her face from the
gaze of the spectators and sought relief
from her grief IN tears.

Al to 9.

The Catholic team Of the basketball
league was again victorious last night
when it defeated the Episcopal team
by the scare of II to 9.
The game, which was played in the
gymnasium of the Y. NJ. c. A was wit
messed ty one of the largest crowds 10
gather there since the games were
commenced. and the good plays OF the
teams and individual players were
cheered Early in the game the Cath
ole team showed its superiority at
all points of play, Quina and w.
Leonard of that team making particu-
larly good plays, and the result was
not in doubt from the commencement,
though the score was larger than an
ticipateG.
Lee Bell of the Episcopal team was
injured early in the game and retired,
Hagerman taking his place in center.
The members of the Catholic team,
VINO have not yet met single defeat,
appeared in their new uniforms, which
are very neat. The trousers are
white as are also the jerseys. The
latter have a black band around the
center, IN the middle of which is the

The next game will be played next
Thursday night between the Catholic
and Presbyterian teams.
