STATE SCORES TINE AND AGAIN

Introducing it's testimony at the beginning of the preliminary trial of Eli Parker Thursday for the Killing of T.. T. Swearingen, the prosecution. headed by Solicitor Stern, scored again and again. Several of those testifying were eye-witnesses Of the shooting, and their testimony was generally such as to combat the plea of self defense. The defense, however. has not as yet introduced ahy of its tes- timonys and the States attorneys will continue the. examination of their witnesses today.
 The hearing will be continued eeday at 10 o'clock in the Court House. Jus tice Boiling Young. upon whose war evening after the disnissai of the case by Justice Taylor. is hearing the case. It Is more than likely, with the great number of witnesses to be ex- amined, that the trial will be prolonged through today and into Saturday.
 With the opening of the case Thurs day morning, Policeman B. c. Duke was examined. He told of the wounds Inflicted by the fatal shot, their posi- tion, and number, and declared that, from the indications. the B. B. and bird shot, with which the shot gun was loaded, entered from the rear of the body.
 c. E. Thomas of Prattville, Mrs. Dees and Mrs. Cannon, residents on Bell Street. and several other eye-wit. nesses@ to. the tragedy, were examined The trend of the testimony was that Parker shot Swearingen without warn- ing. and without word having been passed It was also gathered from the testimony that Swearingen. in his buggy, had passed Parker. who was on the sidewalk, and that Swearingen was somewhat Tn front of the man with the gun, when Parker fired.
 Coroner Tice, examined as witness, told of the location of the wounds, and exhibited the clothing worn by Swear ingen at the time he was shot. together with several articles found near the body; gun wads, shells and revolver and holster.
 The trial was called at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, and held tn rough : out the day with a short intermission for dinner At o'clock Justice Young adjourned court until 10 o'clock this morning.
