20 the stand in his own defense this
morning. said that at the time he shot
DENLY he knew tho mans reputation for
violence to be bad. The object Of this
line Of testimony was 10 show justfica-
tion on the part of the prisoner for the
shooting Of DENLY. The state objected to
Virgins being examined by Mr. Rein
hart along this line, taking the stand
that although the practice is common in
many state-. it is not here. The court
ruled against the State. however. and
Virgins answered the question.
The defense closed its case by show
ing the alleged bad reputation of certain
of the States witnesses. Wilson
Daniels. a colored man. Powell T.
Johns, a justice of the reace. and Hor-
ace NJ. Easton. a constable of Warwick,
Md. were the witnesses. Each of them
swore that Frank Woolford and Andrew
Ayers. who had given testimoney for the
state. bore bad regulations.
The state offered evidence in rebuttal
attacking the testimony of Isaac Emory,
of the witnesses for the defense, who
earlier in the day swore that previous
10 the shooting DENLY attacked Virgins
with stones. Frank Woolfard, Samuel
Jones, Henry Anderson, and Andrew
Ayers swore that this was not so and
that Emory was not present when the
shooting took place.
Both sides then closed and argument
before the jury began. The case will go
TO the jury thisaf ternoon.
In court Yesterday afternoon Virgins
gave his version of the shooting. Wig
gins said Denbv became angry because
nc had won sixty cents from him. The
quarrel became so bad that DENLY went
after stones and after securing a num-
Der thew them at him. Virgins stated
he then ran with Deubv in hot pursuit
and finally in desperation he shot At
him. but he did not know whether he
hit him or not.
At this point Attorney Reinhardi
asked the prisoner as to the previous
Eood character of Denby. but the cCuri
ruled the question out upon objection

against his client. Mousley, he said, had
had nothing to do with the matter at all.
II was brought out in the testimony,
however, that when Mr.. Glover went Ia
