In Regard to Evidence as to
General Night Rider
Conspiracy
IN THE BENNETT CASE.
Walter Hunt Tells Story of
Killing and Testimony
Remains mistaken.

Clarksville, Tenn, Sept. l9.-Yes-
terday brought the two most inter-
esting and important developments
in the trial of Hunt and Gardner
since the opening eleven days ago.
. The first was the final ruling by
Judge Tyler that the evidence as to
a general night rider conspiracy was
incompetent and the second was the
evidence of Walter Hunt, one of the
defendants, as to his part in the kill
ing of Vaughn Bennett. Hunt was
on the stand all day, with the excep-
Mon of the time during the morning
when counsel were arguing on the
competency of the kind of evidence
mentioned. He was examined by
Mr.. Leech and cross-examined by
Mr.. Savage, the State finishing with
him shortly before 5 o'clock. Court
then adjourned.
Blow to Defense.
The ruling as to the night rider
testimony came as a bitter disap-
pointment to those connected with
the defense. Ever since before the
trial began the general public has
taken greater interest in this phase
of the case than in any other. The
defense had summoned a number of
witnesses from points in Kentucky
and Tennessee, several Of whom have
been here several days, and were
prepared to introduce a great vol

w. w. Wotherspoon, promoted by the
President to be brigadier general, to
whose appointment there is objection.
This appointment has been favorably
reported on by the Senate Military Az
fairs Committee, but it has met with
objections in the Senate,
The whole question Of promotion by
selection, instead Of by seniority, it Is
expected, will be threshed over in con-
necticn with this case. Some Senators
are disposed TO go into the whole mat
ter of the constitutional prerogatives
Of the President in making army ap-
pOintments and the constitutional au-
thOrity OF the Senate in passing upon
such appointments.
Senators are hearing no end of OBJ
jactions from army officers over the
Roosevelt methods of promotion. With
out doubt, the Presidents policy In
jun hing officers to high commands over
officers OF higher grade instead of pro-
molten by seniority IS bitterly resented
IN army circles. 1t is much criticised
as having demOraliZing and dlscourag-
