MEYERS CASE.

river with it," At this time a young
man by the name of Swigel mad been
arrested by the city officers, and,
according to the evidence of the wit
ness, Meyers was considerably arous-
ed over 1t, and remarked: ''If those
officers would arrest me like that
would shoot them" An objection
was interposed to the admission of
this into evidence by the defense, but
it was overruled by the court.
Dying Declaration Admitted.
The state closed its evidence with
the testimony of DR.. w. H. Byrd
and Deputy District Attorney Nc
Nary, and the Offering in evidence
of the dying declaration of Eckhart.
DR.. Byrd's testimony was with rela-
ton to the gunshot wounds of Eek
hart received at the hands of Mey-
ers, and also for the purpose of
proving the declaration made by
him. The evidence of McNary was
also introduced to prove the authen-
ticy of the document.
The defense interposed an obiec-
tion to the introduction of the de-
claration in evidence, and after
Judge Burnett had listened to argu-
ment from counsel of both sides 1t
was agreed to strike from it certain
irrelevant matter and it was per-
mitted to so to the jury.
Judge Ocerru1es Motion.
AS soon as the District Attorney
McNary announced that the states
case was closed last evening, Attor.
ney Richardson of counsel for the
defendant, submitted a motion tC
the court as to murder in the frs
and second degree. The contention
of the defense was that Eckhart al
the time of arresting Myers was mo-
armed with warrant and tha
| therefore the arrest was illegal ant
that the defendant was justified ir
using force in repelling it, even tC
the taking of life, and that IL HI
used more force than necessary un
der the circumstances that the of
fense of which he would he guilty
would be manslaughter. The mo
| tion was resisted by an argumen
on the part of District Attorney Nc
Nary to the end that these were
matters for the consideration of the
| jury and not the court, and the
court finally ruled that there wal
sufficient evidence submitted Il
warrant the jury passing on tn,
question and denied the motion.

NO TRACE YET OF

Travel

Sable Island n. s., Oct. 1S.-The
wireless operator here communicated
this morning with the westward
bound Ivernia but the steamship re-
piled that no trace of the Wellman
party which left Atlantic City in the
airship Aerica for fight across the
Atlantic had been obtained.
New York, Oct 1S.-Oyer the
wastes of the Atlantic, in a position
which can only be broadly approx
mated as somewhere off the coast OF
New England or Nova Scotia, Walter
Wellmans airship America is in all
probability pursuing its lonely flight
in the general direction of the north
ern steamship lane and its objective,
the British Isles.
In the absence of any direct word
from the navigators or of any posi-
tive information about them what
ever since Sunday noon, the most
reasonable conjecture in the minds of
their friends and supporters is that
they are still pointing toward their
goal. It is the natural contention
that lack of definite news by no
means detracts from the hopeful out
look and that the failure to receive
a message implies merely that either
no steamship has come within the
Americas wireless radius or that she
is conserving her electrical resources
for supreme struggle against obsta-
cles to come.
AS nearly as can be computed the
great balloon if it has met no untow-
ard accident ought TO be in the neigh
borhood of Sable Island some time to-
night, with Cape Race, $50 miles
away, as the next and last stage in
the voyage before the final turn
across the open seas.
The widespread interest in the voy-
age finds its most striking expression
in the tireless touch. All day pro-
cession of liners approaching the
western coast have sent out the pre-
arranged call Wv" but no answering
sound reached them up to late hour
tonight. The most comforting news
was the assurance that fair weather
has ruled since Sunday along the
north Atlantic steamer route and that
moderate westerly winds and fair
skies was the forecast for some time
to come. The most definite informa.
ton by which the position of the air.

We are told that the latest sensa-

an accurate diagnosis of the complaint
which the patient is suffering. But is
this really as novel as it is supposed
to be? l recollect hearing some time
ago of doctor who said to a patient
who was under examination: 81 can
