 Mrs. Moore testified as to the beha- vior of Mrs. Pope after being notified of the death of her mother.
 rshe seemed mortified" said the wit ness, "more than grieved, and ran ahead of me to the, house..
 Then came the first inference by which the defense showed its hand.
 "Do you know woodson Pope" Mrs. Pope's attorneys asked.
 Mrs. Moore (declared that she did, and that she Knew the relations be- tween the couple were strained. that the couple had parted and divided the children.
 T. c. Upshaw. an important witness of the State, testified. Mir. Upshaw had visited the Pope house on the night following the murder and had been about the place the evening of the same day. It was he that found the bloody clothes of the baby by the we'll. He Also found and identthed the butchers knife by which the throat of Mrs. King was cut
 Sam Curry, who found the blood stained clothes of Mrs. Pope, was on the stand. He told of his find and of other circumstances about the house. He identified smoothing iron as one found In the Pope house. bloody after contact. 1t is believed. with the head of the murdered woman.
 woods0n Pope Again.
 The woodson Pope matter came up again in the questions propounded MT. Curry by the defense.
 Hub Lucas, the deputy sheriff and star witness for the State, was on the stand at the time of the adjournment for the day.
 The jury was taken fri the room while Judge Pearson considered the testimony of Lucas as elicited oy the defense as to its competency. Lucas will be the first witness called tomor- row when tho matter of the alleged confession will be preached.
 The sentiment as to the case In Clan ton. while somewhat divided, leans more to prejudice against Mrs. Pope than In her favor. The prejudice Of the community in which Mrs. Pope and her mother lived. Is steadfast against the prisoner.
 Testimony telling of threats of a lynching on the night of the murder was elicited several times today.
