The cr0ss-examinati0n Of witness
Peters vas conducted BY Judge Ander

stated thar he had been in the pool
room on the night OF the killing since

game when the defendant entered and
the killing took place. He again
described how the telephone
was located behind the counter in the
front rom. 1t would be necessary TO
come opposite the partition door in
order to go behind the counter TO use
phone. But in doing this one would
not necessarily see all the people in
the back room. When Granbery came
in at the time Of the shooting the wit
ness was perhaps is feet from the
entrance to the pool room and on the
side that the door was located on.
The room is about 20 feet wide an da
little longer than wide.
Mr.. Peters stated that he did not
see Granbery when he entered the
front door, but saw him when about
half way between the front and the
middle doors. His testimony along |
this line was substantially what he
had said on the direct examination.
He repeated that the deceased had /
his face to the table and back to the
door when CRANBERRY entered. The
first time he saw the pistol was when
t was in Granbery's hand raised, but
be saw that there was something In
hand when the latter was
n the act of raising IT. He discov-
,red the pistol when the hand was
nearly opposite to the defendants
read, but knew there was one in his
land when he raised it, The defen-
ant, after raising the pistol, held 1t

Cross Examined.

He was cross examined by Judge
Anderson, but in no wise contradicted
himself. He stated with positiveness,
upon his cross-examination, that he
was watching a shot being made on
the back table, at the time the first
shot was fired by Granbery; that he
was looking over his brothers shout
der, and his brother was looking in
the same direction, and that he was
sure his brother did not see Gran
berry at all before the first shot was
fred.

Frierson House, only a short distance
from where the killing took place;
that he heard the shots, and being

floor between the pool tables. He
made a minute examination of the
wounds. One was in the right upper

severing the spinal cord and being
taken out at the back of the neck.
Such wound was certain and almost
instant death; there would be no con-

other wound was straight through the
body, passing through the heart There
was also two wounds in the left arm.
The wound passing through the body
showed that the. man doing the

THE ANCIENT AND MODERN EASTER

Tomorrow Sunday will be Easter,
the great annual festival of the Chris
tian church throughout the world. In
the ancient church the celebration of
Easter lasted eight days. but after
the eleventh century the time was Inn
tied to three days, and soon again re-
duced to two days. 1t was formerly
the favorite time for performing the
rite of baptism. The courts of JUS
tice we're closed. and aims distributed
to the poor and needy. who we're even
toasted in the churches. Slaves were
set free. and as fasting of Lent was
over the people gave themselves up
to every enjoyment.
Easter is not q Christian festival
merely. 1t is pagan as we'll. The
early church in it's wisdom saw more
spiritual profit. greater harvest OF
souls, in Chr istianizing as far as pos
sible the great national festivals oil
every people among whom it planted
the cross than in taking hostile at
titude toward them. Thus the Roman
SaturnaIia and the Druidic midwintel
orgies and those in honor of Thor were
stripped of their grossness and mould
ed into our Christmas. And so il
| was with Easter.
