 IN HANDS OF THE JURY

Centreville, September n.-(Special.)- The case of Wasileje Wainovich, charged with the murder of Conductor Collins and others on train at Blocton during the recent strike, was submitted to the jury at o'clock tonight.

Witnesses for the defense tried to show that the defendant was not at the piece at the time of the shooting but was at home. They claim that the de- fendants foot was mashed after the shooting at the railroad, while he was chopping wood in his own yard. It will be remembered that bloody sock found at the scene of the shooting was matched b one worn by the Slav at the time he was arrested, shortly after the tragedy It was discovered that the mans foot had been mashed.
 Fellow Slavs, testifying for the state during the trial. swore that Wainovich told them after the shooting that his foot was mashed while he was helping others put crossties on the railroad track to wreck the train bearing soldiers, officers and strikebreakers. These witnesses also testified that the defendant had told them that he was one of the number who fired on the train.
 Bob Hayes, president of the local of United Mine Workers at Blocton; Charley Friezner, secretary; Hughey Hucs, com nissarian of same, all took the stand in favor of the defendant. On cross-examina- tion 1t was shown that Hayes, Hues and Friezner all spent the night near each other in the part of Blocton where the defendant boarded at the time Hayes and

The judge declined to have the proceedings adjourned from the courthouse to room in a hotel, to which action the defendants counsel ex- cepted.

 Gene Ford was practically unhitta- ble yesterday afternoon, and the Mem phii were downed by the narrow mar gin of 1 to 0.
 The Baron slabman had the visitors buffaloed from the first and 1t was only until the dawning of the seventh that they managed to get their first hit.
 It is due to the fine throwing to sec ond of Catcher Meek that the score was not tied in the seventh. Baerwald opened with a little bingle over sec- ond, and with one down, attempted to steal Meek, who had previously thrown out three men, shot him full of holes. Then Cranston opened with a screaming double to deep center.
 In the ninth, through accidents and hits, the visitors had fine opportunity to tie the score, if not to win the game. To begin with, Carter stabbed one over Downey, which the shortstop pulled down, after sensational leap, with a single hand. Baerwald fared better, however, and his little pop towards third was transformed into hit. when the sun blinded Larsen, causing him to turn his back to the approaching ball. Then Cranston stabbed one viciously to right, Baer- wald going to third. Cranston stole second after two were down, and Man ager Babb faced Ford at that time when victory was toss up.
 Babb Couldn't Deliver.
 Babb endeavored to work the pitcher for a base, and managed to get threc balls while he was being charged with two hits. Then came the fast one over the plate, and fans held their breath. Babb rolled it slowly, all most too slowly, local fans figured, towards second, but Lew was com out by a margin of three inches, no more, no less.
 Then the game went into history.
 The lone run of the Barons which decided the game, was matched in the fourth. Meek, opening, was hit in the ribs with the sphere, and Douglass walked. When Cranston's lightning WOIh IODOOo OA e DAheAO OOeN short and third, Meek was tossed out at the tertiary corner. Walters drew a walk, filling the bases. Larsen bunted to the infield and beat 1t out, while Douglass ambled across the pan with the winning score.
 An Excellent Scrimmage.
 The game was an excellent affair. While, in an hundred ways, Ford had the better of the argument, Savidge performed nobly. He kept the Barons' hits scattered to the four winds, and was a regular Gibraltar when the sacks were occupied.
 Ford was in magnificent shape, and in addition to possessing fine speed and excellent curve, his control was first class. He confined the visitors hits to two men, Baerwald and Crans- ton, and, as stated, suffered his first safe punch in the seventh. In addi- tion, he fielded his position finely, and smashed one of Savidges benders for one of the seven singles that fell to the share of the Barons.
 Downey took the prize for the sin gle sensational performance when he rob bed Carter in the ninth, but for the afternoons work Cranston had every In the sixth, Jolly made a beautiful running catch of Larsen's line hit, which shot over Cranston's head mile a minute, and which looked safe in a dozen different ways.
