MRS. SLADE
ASkSPARD0N
FOR HUSBAND
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss, March S.-Mrs. J. B.
Slade, wife of the noted Pike county
murderer, who is now seeking to Sc
cure a recommendation for his release
from the prison board of trustees, has
written a letter in which she vehe-
mently asserts her belief in the in
nocence of her husband.
Mrs. Slade declares that her hus-
band did not kill William Miller, and
at the hour of the tragedy he was at
home with sick child; that there was
no evidence Of worthy character Of
fered at the trial to prove his guilt;
that no effort to intimidate witnesses
was made by Slade or his friends;
that it is untrue that the family spent
several thousand dollars trying to Sc
cure his acquittal, for the family did
not have the money to spend, and,
instead of her husband being a
wealthy farmer, he was merely fore
man on one of the hampton farms in
Pike county; that so far as she knows,
no contemplation is in circulation
opposing his pardon.
Mrs. Slade asserts that the petition
for a pardon is not based alone on the
affidavit Of the widow of the dead
man, Mrs. Miller, declaring that she
swore falsely at the trial, but is back
ed by the names of the leading cit
liens of Pike county.

"
Nashville, Tenn, March S.-When
court opened today to hear the ar
guments of counsel before the jury
/. in the case of Colonel Duncan B. Coop
.er, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp
charged with the murder of Senator
Edward w. Carmack, Judge Hart
said:
81 have been told that there are in
this court room certain people who
have been brought here to express
their approval or disapproval of the
arguments of counsel. In this connec-
tion want to say that any one who
applauds or Kisses or comments upon
the arguments on either side will wish
he or she had never done it. You may
proceed gentlemen
FlTZHUGH is BITTER.
Captain Fitzhugh opened for the
State briefly defining what consti-
tutes under the laws of Tennessee the
various degrees of murder, and then
launched into his argument to attempt
to prove that the murder of Carmack
had not only been previously contem-
plated, but that it had been carefully
planned-that it was murder of the
first degree.
'When the tragedy was over" he
said "the defendants began to look
q, for cause and an excuse"
With much emphasis, he inquired
what did they find?"
After a pause of some seconds, dur
ing which there was absolute silence
in the court room, Captain Fitzhugh
continued:
"They found that Senator CarmacB
had referred to the principal defend
ant as that little baldheaded arch
angel. Dune Cooper and asked, did
that little angel come from above or
below, and was there smell Of sui

Discussing the personal character oi

said:
Think of it gentlemen. This man

that there are uses and even good
prices paid for trees which range from
the tender age Of six years UP and
that the demand for these slender
striplngs is growing greater each year.
An example of this lies in the match
industry alone. This line of manufac-
turc has nearly all been merged into n
great trust which annually purchases
at good figure thousands Of acres of
white pine trees anywhere from Maine
to California. 1t buys these as uncut
timber in size from six inches up and
after clearing the tract moves on to its
next forest In the manufacture of
barrel slaves and hoops trees of almost
any tough. flexible wood are used from
the ages of four to fifteen years, while
any straight young trees of ten years
will make saabe flag or tent poles.
Young alders. popars and willows
of from ten to fifteen years serve man
kind in the manufacture of gunpowder,
while the prolific beech and maple.
from six inches in diameter upward,
can be used in the manufacture Of
wood alcohol, for which there is an
enormously increasing demand all over
the country. Furniture manufacturers.
always on the outlook for wood with
a fine grain, will take birch. cherry.
walnut, etc. not large enough to be
used in making parts Of house furnish
ings for use as veneer. Never before
in the history Of the United States has
so much wood been used in the manu-
facture of ornaments and toys as Is
now being used for that purpose and
thousands of feet of spruce are en-
ployed by manufacturers of sleighs and
wagons.
In some parts Of New York and
Pennsylvania large quantities of small
timber are used in wood distillation
plants for the production of acid. while
all over the country small timber Is
used for the manufacture of charcoal.
Small sizes of timber. particularly the
spruce of New England. is used In the
pulp mills where paper and other wood
pulp products are manufactured. Then.
again, many small trees are bought
for the manufacture Of toothpicks.
while in the mining country of Penn
sylvania and other coal producing
states thousands Of "sprags" are pur.
chased to serve their peculiar purpose
This is to check the speed of the mule
carts as they go rapidly down the steep
grade of the mines by being thrown
beneath the wheels.
These are only few of the hundreds
of uses to which young timber may be
put If it is near enough to a market
to be sold.
