:. TALKS T0JuRY,
Mrs. Blair Tells her Side Of th2 Ste'y Of
the Killing Of her Hushan!.

the Killing Of her Hushanl.
After examining other witnesses
in the case of Conductor McCully
w. Blair, who. according to his
own statement, was shot last
night by his wife in their home on
Marion street, receiving wounds
from which he died shortly after,
the CORNERS jury went to the
home aid took the statement OF
Mrs. Blair tonight. She lay upon
her bed in the very room in which
the tragedy occurred, and told
her story. Mrs. Blair by the way.
was formerly a resident of Sails
bury, N. G and not of Greens
boro, as was stated last night.
She is a handsome woman, with
fine black eyes.
Conductor Blair, according to
his wife's story. came home last
night intoxicated. and began as
usual to take it out ON her. He
threatened, she says, to kill her.
She told him not to curse in the
house. as he would drive all her
boarders away. He then knocked
her down, and there began a race
for a pistol which lay on the
mantle in another room. She
reached it first, she says. and told
him not to approach her. He ran
1T her, and in the struggle the
pistol was discharged.
The weak point in her story is
the fact that she insisted that the
pistol was discharged while held
in her hand below his waist. The
ball entered Blair's abdomen
above the waistiand ranged down
ward, coming out at the right hip.
NJ powder burns could be found
on her hands, his hands, or on her
apron. She contradicts also the
statement of a neighbour, II.
w. Woodward, a reliable man.
He says that when he rushed into
the room Blair had hold of his
wife's hands, clinging to her with
\ look of terror in his eyes. The
pistol was III his upper left hand
vest pocket.
Blair made a dying statement
last night while inssthe ambulance
en- route to. the hospital. He said
he was shot in a quarrel about
Conductor Armes, who was an in
innate friend of both. He regret
ted the affair:exceedingly for the
sake of his wife, his children anc
himself. He fell upon the fool
of the ambulance and prayed TO!
them.
Relatives of the deceased arrived
today. They do not want Mrs
Blair prosecuted, as they were al
fond of her.-Columbia. S. c..

Is the correct view of the matter, and
deny his own jurisdiction in the mat
ter, II would put an end to the con-
slant attempts to release Territorial
prisoners by means of wrlts of habeUs
corpus from the Federal Court.
Today was return DAY in tho
Marks habeas corpus matter. Attor-
rcy General Hcmenway. on behalf OF
High Sheriff Henry, filed an amended
return, which he read in court. Da-
Wis promptly moved to quasn this
amended return on The gr9nd that
the facts stated in It were untrue ana
not full statement OF what took
place at the trial of the prisoner.
Certain facts, he said, had been sup
pressed, perhaps inadvertently.
Davis objected particularly to the
reasons given for Raoul Kinney not
having been served with tae sub
pocna which was issued To him on be-
half of the defense, The poliCc~plh-
GERS, he claimed, had aOt been dill
gent.
On top of the motion to quash Du-
Wis filed q traverse to the return, and
lac had hardly filed that before he
flied another and fuller traverse. Ana
then he tried to offer evidence.
BY this time nobody knew what
was the status of the case. Cathcart
said he supposed that the fllIng OF the
traverses nulli0ed the motion TO
Cuash. Everybody looked blink but
, Davis. He talked.
At this juncture Cathcart raised
the question Of jurisdiction. I'VE
want" he said, ITO go into the mat
Ter OF whether Your Honor will take
/ Jurisdiction in this matter at all, 50
! the question will be settled once for
| all for this district. We hold that
, this Court should not interfere In
such cases until the petitioner has
exhausted his remedy IN the Terrific
| rial courts"
Davis cNultantly stated that II was
/ too late to raise this question, as
/ Judge Dole had already taken iuris,
diction by issuing the writ Of habeas
corpus. But the Judge thought diff,
/ rcroutly, aud stated that he desired
10 hear the matter argued next Sat
iurday.
