last name. All of these things were in
consistent with the theory that he was
/ so drunk that he was incapacitated
from the intent to commit the crime.
Judge Dole s charge to the Jury oe-
cupied more than half an hour in its
delivery. On the question of in
toxication causing such a state of
mind as made impossible an intent to
commit murder, the instructions, fol-
lowing eases decided in the United
States Supreme Court, was thought to
be liberal toward the defendant. On
/ the question of jurisdiction the charge
was clear and unequivocal that the
court had jurisdiction.

Judge Dole asked # that was their
verdict. The jurors replied that it
was. Thompson noted an exception
to the verdict. The jury was dis
missed, and the court adjourned.
Wynne throughout the trial has been
very impassive until yesterday. Yes
terday he was yisibly nervous. Dur
ing the reeesses of the session he
walked the corridor of the courthouse.
In court he drummed with his fingers On
the table, and much of the time the
beads Of perspiration stood out on his
forehead. This nervousness was es-
peeially marked when Judge Dole was
charging the jury and when the jury
came in with its verdict.
There is considerable speculation as
to whether there viii be an appeal or
not There is general feeling that
there viii not be. The funds for the
defense thus far have been provided
by voluntary subscription among
the members of the Marine Firemen s
Union. The union itself could not.
under its rules, contribute funds for
this purpose. The situation was pre-
sented to the members of the union.
and they took the position that they
did not know whether he was guilty
or not and so would help give him a
chance. It is considered doubtful,
however. now that he has been con
yieted after an able defense. that they
will be willing to contribute further
for the EXPENSES Of an appeal. An ap-

pied by court and lawyers in settling
the instructions Argument began yes
terday morning. Rawlins opened for
the defense He argued to the jury
that the defense admitted the killing
on board the Rosecrans with ma.
chinists' hammer by Wynne. The only
question was whether Wynne at the
time he committed the act was in a
state of mind capable of forming the
purpose to kill with malice afore-
thought.
Thompson devoted she greater part
of his address to the jury IN an argu-
ment to show that there could not have
been malice and that therefore Wynne
was guilty only of manslaughter.

Death ol Mrs. Jane Ray.

Mrs. Louisa Jane Ray died at
her home on Morris and Corpora
ton streets last Thursday be-
tween 3 and 4 o'clock. The body
was carried to Lystra church,
Orange county, for internent.
She was 70 years Of age and her
death was expected.
Before her marriage she was
q Miss Rigsbee and moved here
from Chatham county. She had
only one brother, Haywood Rigs
bee, who lives at Sanford. Her
husband died several years ago,
and Of the immediate family
there are left two sons and q
daughter. In addition to these
mentioned, there are a large
number Of relatives in this coun-
ty and Chatham.
The death Of Mrs. Ray was the
direct result of q fall she had
some eighteen months ago. In
that fall her leg was broken and
she never recovered from it.
There were other complications
that assisted death in its work.
She was 20 years Of age, and
this was against her In an acci-
dent and hurt Of the character
she suffered.
Several relatives and friends
went with the body to Orange
county, the trip through the
country beginning very early in
morning. The burial was about
the noon hour.

Accldently Found Before II Was too
Late and Saved. H.


Clifton Craig, who is connected
with the Five Points Pressing
Club, came near meeting an un-
timely death last week. His call
was a close one and a few mo-
ments later and he would have
been asphyxiated by gas that
was leaking from the heater. He
was discovered by a companion
in the very nick of time.
1t seems from the best story
of the affair that Clifton Craig
went into the toilet room for a
bath and had been absent for
sometime. A fellow workman,
Mr.. Pendergraph, went into the
toilet room to get pitcher of
water and it was well that he
did. He found Craig on the floor
unconscious. Gas had filled the
room and made it hard to breath.
The doors were thrown open and
the unfortunate fellow dragged
out into the open air of the hall.
DR.. Biting was then quickly
summoned and in about thirty
minutes he had Craig again in a
conscious condition, but had not
recovered. It was late in the
night when he had overcome the
experience that he went through.
He was able to 60 to his work
Friday but was very weak.
How long Craig had been in an
unconscious condition no one
knows. but it was thought that
his companion reached him soon
after he fell. He stepped from
the bath tub and evidently fell
as soon as he stepped on the
floor. He could not have beer
there very long, as death would
have resulted quickly. Mr.. Craig
himself does not remember SC
much about it. He remember:
feeling the dizziness and then all
was blank.
Il was indeed a close call and
but for the fact that Mr.. Pender.
graph accidently went to the
toilet room for water it is more
than a probability that Mr.. Craig
would have died while under the
influence Of the gas.

POLITICAL SPEAKERS.
Democrats and Republicans Have
Great Speakers In Store.

During the remainder of the
campaign, aside from the county
canvass, the best speakers of
both Democrats and Republicans
will visit Durham and only such
will be. heard here.
Tonight Hon. Walter Murphy
will address the voters of the
city at the court house and it is
predicted that a large crowd will
go out to hear him. He is DEM
ocratic elector-at-large and all
that have heard him say that he
is one of the best speakers going
the rounds of the campaign.
Next Tuesday night in the
Academy of Music, Hon Thomas
Settle, Republican electoral
large, will address the voters up
on the issues from a Republican
standpoint. Candidate for Gov
ernor on the Republican ticket
will come with Mr.. Settle and
speak at the same time and place.
Republicans are expecting to
have a big rally on this occasion
and their efforts will be watched
by the Democrats that are look
ing out for Democratic success in
the coming election.
On the 9th Of October Cover
R. B.Glenn will speak to Dur
ham Democracy in the Academy
os Music, and he will be closely
followed by Candidate W. W.
Kitchin who will speak in the
Academy Monday night before
the election Tuesday, which will
be the fnalrally of the campaign.
| 1t was at one time stated that Mr..
Kitchin would not visit Durham
during the campaign, and Demo
Gratis in the city and surrounding
country will hail his visit here
with delight.
Other speakers may come here
during the campaign, but this is
a list of the biggest guns that
will be fired here during the cam
paign and the forces of both
parties are both laying much
stress upon these visits of great
speakers.
The county canvass of the two
parties which appears elsewhere
in this issue, will be on from this
week and every voting precinct
will be visited and the voter urg-
ed to go to the polls on election
day and do his duty as he sees it,
accompanied by an effort to cause
him to see it in the light the
speaker views it.

Himself Looks Like Pure
Accident and No Inquest
Is Held.

w. T. Garrett, better known
around Durham as Bill Garrett,
was found by the roadside in a
small hole of water dead. He
was found by Mr.. Lashley about
9 or ten o'clock and the matter
was at once reported to the au-
thorities here and when it had
been investigated relatives took
charge of the body and the re-
mains were inferred.
The sheriff made the necessary
affidavit and the coroner went
out to see if there was any evil
dence of foul play. From all that
could be learned it appeared that
the cause of the death of Mr..
Garrett was purely an accident
and no inquest was held. All the
money he had during the day
for which he sold cotton, was
traced up to within a small
amount.
The facts in connection with
the death in such a way are
about as follows: Mr.. Garrett
came to Durham last Friday an6
brought a bale of cotton for the
market.-He sold his cotton anC
paid UP his fertilizer bill anc
made several small purchases
here and about four o'clock left
the city for his home. He was
seen at Bragtown about five
thirty o'clock very much under
the influence Of whiskey and
those who saw him said they ex'
pected he would fall out of his
wagon, but that he managed tc
get along. This was the last
seen of him until he was found
in the hole of water by the road.

colored man that was with hin
succeeded in getting the horse
upon his feet and the mans head
out of the water and came on tc
town to notify the officers.
The remains were Inferred
Sunday. Mr.. Garrett leaves q
wife and two children and many
relatives in the county to mourn
his death. So far as heard there
is no suspicion that there wa:
any foul play, but all agree that
death was due to accident.
