WIDOW
TESTIFIES AT TRIAL
Denies Husband Threatened
Harris-Defense Calls
Strother to Stand.

WARRENTON, Va, Oct Interest
was intense this r.orning in the trial OF
Prof. J. D. Harris, for the murder Of
Editor ". A. Thompson, when Mrs w
A Thompson. the widow Of the slain
man. took the witness stand 20 declare
in sobbing terms that her husband
never owned a pistol and never made
threats against the teacher. She was
attired in deep black and her face WAS
covered by a thick veil.
A. ". Strother was called to the
witness stand finally by the defense TO
deny that Prof Harris stated that ne
was sorry he had 10 shoot Thompson.
L.-t did II to geterid OF him. That Har-
rs made this statement 10 STother FIVE
minutes after the shooting was the tes-
timony Of Albert Thomas yesterday.
Strother denied this, saying Harris told
him Thompson was beating him to
death before ne fired.
After an hOrr OF Wrangling among
attorneys, Judge Turner ruled out the
experimental shots made in wooden
cloth by Town Sergeant Burk. BY this
evidence, Commonwealth Attorney Keith
hoped to seriously attack the evidence
Of Prof. Harris, who testified he held
his gun close TO Thompson when ne
this important exhibit turned on the
quality Of the powder in an uneXplOded
shell found I'm Harris gun T. was dls-
similar to that found in a cartridge
used by the town sergeant, according
70 the testimony Of Henry Hutton, the
village hardware man, who was called
as an expert.
In ruling out this testimony Judge
Turner declared such an experiment
must show substantially the same con-
ditions as attended the shooting OF
Thompson. At II OcloCk, the court
