holders, as more funds were needed.
The entire cost of the division now
in service, with the exception of a
few thousand dollars, has oeen paid,
and with the increase of capital asked
for in the amendment, the indebted
ness of the road will be paid in full

This amount of stock applies to the

be made.
1t is stated that the extension to
Mt. Pleasant will begin during this

made to extend the line until the

HENRY WILLIS CASE
CALLED IN COURT
BOTH SIDES READY
at PLEASANT MAN MUST AN
swER The CHARGE OF MUIR
DERING HIS WIFE.
LINE OF DEFENSE NOT REVEALED
However. it is Believed That Insanity
Plea May be Entered-TriaI At.
tracts Much Attention-May Be
Sensational.

Both sides announced ready at
o'clock Friday afternoon i'll the Willis
murder trial in the Circuit Court and
Henry Willis must now answer for
shooting and killing his wife at Mt
Pleasant in February. He is also
charged with assault with intent to
kill in two cases for he shot and
wounded Mrs. Kirk Wood at the time
he mortally wounded his wife and is
alleged to have taken a shot at Miss
Massey, at the same time.
The trial is attracting quite good
deal of interest, for it is rare that a
>, kiiG man is placed on trial in Maury
M Tie charge of murder, and in addi-
ton the Willis family is well known
over the county, and his wife, who
was a daughter of Alb Hood of Column
bia. was well-known and leaves a
number of relatives.
Attorney General Job Garner is as
sisted in the prosecution by Thos. H.
PEBBLES and Thos. B. Forgey, while
Messrs. j. C. VOORHEES,, ]. H. Dining
and Percy Chandler represent the de-
Tense. A special venire of forty
names has been summoned, while the
total number of witnesses is about
fifty The defense has employed r.
H. Maxy of Nashville as stenOgrapher
for the case.
The line of defense has of course,
not been set out, but the impression
prevails that it will probably be in
sanity. This impression is strength
ened by the fact that Willis attempted
to take his own life after the shoot
Ing by drinking carbolic acid. His
throat and mouth were badly burned
by the acid, but his effort at self
destruction was prevented by by
stander knocking the bottle of acid
from his hand as he turned it up to
his mouth.
It was stated at the time of the
killing that Willis had had trouble
with his wife and that the pair had
separated and that she was preparing
to come back to Columbia, the couple
had moved from Columbia only about
week before the tragedy, That
Willis went to the house where his
wife was staying in an effort to effect
a reconciliation and get her to remain
in Mt. Pleasant, and failing in this
the shooting followed.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 1S.-An
amendment to the charter OF the
Nashville Interurban railway was
granted Thursday, increasing the cap
Iital stock from 100000 to 100000.
The purpose for the increase IN CAPT
tai, as set forth in the application
for the amendment, is to increase the
stock so as to cover the increased cost
of the road over the present division,
which slightly exceeded the first esti-
mate and to put this division in first
class condition.
From the application of the above
named amendment the plan followed
out by the promoters is for the first
time made known to the public. The
various stockholders of the company
have paid into the treasury thousands
of dollars and have individually re-
ceived credit for the amounts paid in,
although as yet, no stock has been
issued The management of the road
was instructed to build the division

that the force will be increased to 500 pa

means that they have the police and

take no chances. but seize on suspicion

did not wish to have the Armour wheat
