MURDER OF CHILD
FATHER ON TRIAL IN GRAYSON
CHARGED WITH BRUTAL
CRIME.

Independence, Va, July 3,-The
trial of Lewis Wingate in the Gray
son county circuit court here for
the brutal murder OF his little son.
Roy Wingate, IL years old. is at
tracing widespread attention.
1t is the most horrible murder OF
a child by its parents since the kill
ing Of little Ralph Smith by his
mother in Manchester a few years
ago
The Wingate murder was more
brutal and has aroused greater in
dignation on account of the killing
of the little child by a strong man.
DR. w. f. Drewry, of Petersburg,
and DR.. A. S. PridSy, of Marion, ex-
pert alienists. have pronounced the
alleged murderer sane.
The crowd in the court room and
other parts OF the building was so
large that the judge ordered that
the court house be cleared of all
spectators in order to insure the,
safety OF the prisoner and to pre-
vent any possible mob violence.
1t is alleged that Wingate chained
and locked his son in a box. The
commemorative attorney will con-
tend that the prisoner killed the
child by violence and starvation.
The wife of the prisoner will give
evidence in his behalf while his
children will give against him. The
child's body was eXhumed and eX-
pert examination made Of it.
Wingate collapsed shortly before
noon yesterday, causing great ex-
element. The trial could not pro-
ceed until some time afterward The
prisoner is weakened physically and
it is not known whether nc will be
able TO stand the ordeal he is un-
dergoing without frequent collapses.

Bryan VIII Not Interfere.

Sitting the statements by dele
gates made after talking with Mr..
Bryan II may safely be stated that
the Democratic presidential candi-
date will leave the platform makers
and the vice presidential canvass
alone. Only urgent necessity such
as threatened the passage OF the
plank repugnant to what the Ne
braskan considers progressive Dem
ocratlc doctrine, or considerable
move in favor OF some vice presi-
Dental candidate whose views and
political practice were antagonistic
to the platform. will constraln Mr.
Bryan to interfere.
SO far, however, It is believed
Mr.. Bryan has nothing against any
OF the 80 running mates reported az
having been mentioned" to date.
The great majority OF them Of
course are not taken seriously. The
very number OF possibilities Is taken
here as proof positive that no man
so far mentioned has received as
surance OF active support from Mr..
Bryan.

No cause For Worry.

A news paragraph in Vermont con

create the popular impression where the
truth was not known that ST. Adams

known to be in q precarious condition.
This Is not the fact. 1t il true that
local business interests have felt some
Of the reaction common 70 the whole
country, more or less, az the result Of
the recent panic and there han been a
shade Of what might be called hard
times" here as there has been pretty
much everywhere else. But II has not
been and II il not now such degree
of stringency in trade and business as
to cause any special uneasiness, because
is was all anticipated, its eause Is
thoroughly understood, and no feeling
exists that local conditions have any
thing TO do with III ANY failures that
have taken place In st. Adams recently
are attributed, not TO depression Of To-
cal resources and prospects, but to the
same old remorseless personal equation

up a sign and engages in trade Is neces-
