Is Discharged
tBy Associated Press. ]

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, March 16.
John Armstrong Chaloner, brother of
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler and former
husband of Amelie Rives, now Princess
Troubetskoy, the writer, fought for
the possession of a revolver with John
Gillard, an Englishman, at his coun-
try home, Merry Mills" at Gotham,
Va, last night.
Gillard was killed. Chaloner was ex-
onerated.
Gillard was killed. Chaloned was ex-
tralia and was living within three
miles of Merry Mills" His wife
sought Chaloner's protection from her
husband, who, it is alleged, had threat
ened her life. Mrs. Gillard had ar
rived in Merry Mills" in advance of
her husband and with her children was
waiting in the dining room to tell her
story when her husband entered, and
attacked her, it is said, with a pair
of tongs. Chaloner then entered the
room and interfered.
A scuffie between Chaloner and the
Englishman ensued and the former
drew a pistol to restrain the frenzied
man. Gillard seized the pistol and
tried to turn it on his wife. Chaloner
grasped it and it was discharged, the
bullet entering Gillard's temple.
Meant to Kill Herr
At the inquest the widow said she
was positive that her husband dis
charged the pistol In an effort to kill
her.
The body was kept at MERRY Mills"
all night in the position in which it
fell The room still showed evidences
of the struggle. The woman's hat was
in one corner and hat pins were scat
tered about the floor. The tongs, bent
from the blows, were bloody and con-
tanned clumps of hair.
Mrs. Gillard's head was badly cut.
Chaloner had frequently befriended
Gillard.
John Armstrong Chaloner was adj
judged insane by the New York SUI
preme court in 1897 and committed to
the Bloomipgdale asylum. He escaped
from that institution in 1900 and went
to Virginia.
The supreme court the year before
had reiterated its order declaring
Chaloner insane and appointed a COM
mittee of his person and property.

100000
Two years afterward Virginia
court declared Chaloner sane, but his
persistent efforts to have the courts of
this state declare him sane and re-
store him his property proved fruit
less.
Last June Chandler secured decree
of the supreme court of North Caro-
lima, which had also declared him sane,
authorizing him to change his name
from Chanler to Chaloner.

OF TEMPTERS
Innocent and Vlrtuous Students OF
Theology, Says Congregational
Preacher, Are Entrapped
by Evil Plotters

CHICAGO, March 16.-In elaboration
of recent warning to University of
Chicago students to beware of the wiles
of women during their ministry, the
Rev. w. e. Barton, Congregational
pastor, today explained certain remarks
on the subject, made by himself to a
Presbyterian ministers conference yes
terday.
II myself" says he, have known of
a number of most diabolical plots to
entrap and ruin men of God who were
doing in entire innocence what they
deemed to be their duty. These plots
are by no means uncommon in down.
town churches"
Rev. Mr.. Barton had drawn at the
conference q picture of preachers with
out guile, beset by designing women,
seeking whom they might devour.
He declared the average minister a
lamb for purity and a child so far as
knowledge of the world was concerned.
For this lamb, he said, countless
women were lying in wait, ready, as
instruments of the evil one. to shear
him of his robe of righteousness and
hold him up to his flock and the
soothing public as a wolf in sleeps
clothing.
II should like to say that I believe
most clergymen to be good men, but
many good men are indiscreet," said
Mr.. Barton in further explanation of
his remarks.
"The, same may be said or many
women church members.
"a clergyman should so order his 'ife
and so safeguard his relations with the
women of his congregation that no
breath of suspicion should ever be
heard"
One of the ministers who heard the
Rev. Mr.. Bartons lecture said that he
invariably. had his wife answer the teie-
phone because a woman can spy out
evil motives in another woman more
rapidly than a. man.

COURT OF
GEORGIA SAYS 'LIAR"
THERE MEANS FIGHT

ATLANTA, Ga, March 16.-To call
man liar In Georgia is breach Of the
peace and means fight, declares the state
court of appeals today.
The lower court, which refused dam
ages to w. NJ. Rumsey, who sued w.
A. Billiard for 500 for having called
him liar, is reversed, the opinion by
Judge Powell concluding:
Being to the manor born, the judge
of this court takes judicial cognizance
of the fact that in Georgia to call
man a liar, even without threatening
him with a weapon, most generally
means a fight. There may be exceptions
to this rule, but they are exotics and
find little nourishment ON Georgia soil
and under southern skies"

Interest in the trial of Mrs. Fife
Duden centered this morning in the
testimony of S. w. Millichamp, store
keeper with shop just under the

killed.
Millichamp stated he was in his store
about o'clock on the evening of the
killing and heard three pistol shots

that the poor crops of recent years
