every TRAIN Brings
ADDITIONAL VETERANS
Old Soldiers Are Met at Trains and
Escorted to Headquarters, Where
Homes Are Being Assigned to
Them.

Just after the arrival of the 1910
G. & S. l. train from Gulfport this
morning the reception committees
headquarters in the Hill building took
on most martial appearance, for the
committee had met it's first train, and
were assigned the first arrivals to
their homes. These were the veterans
from the Soldiers Home at Beauvoir,
and they made splendid showing in
their gray uniforms, though some had
to have canes while some were erect
and soldier-like still, despite their
white hairs. The superintendent him
self, is great broad-shouldered, six
footer, Capt. ]. X. Moseby There are
two ladies in the party from the Home,
Captain Moseby's wife and Mrs. M. Nc
Bryde, and they are certainly looked
after by the gallant old fellows in
gray, too.
A popular member of the party is
Mr.. Dennis Cane, and his jolly Irish
brogue and happy face explain the
fact easily. Mr. Cain is 95 years old
has perfect health, has never used to-
bacco or drank whiskey, can read the
finest type without glasses, and is as
strong and full of life as a boy, and
his white hair does not seem to fit in
with such bright ewes.
Last fall" the captain will tell you
''Mr. Cain took a notion to take a
tramp and he tramped all along the
Pacific coast, to Portland, Oregon, and
yet that old man was born few days
after the battle of Waterloo on the Isle
of Erin, at Dublin, 50 years old and
able to do all that walking"

the Home at Beauvoir are Capt. ]. X

tobacco, oats, and, in fact, almost
every variety of farm product, to be
placed on display at the Commercial

the closing arguments.
Louisville, Miss, Oct 11.-Present
indications are that there will be a
verdict in the Permenter case today.
The State will put only one witness
on the stand. 1t is said the State
will lay predicate and endeavor to
impeach the testimony of Alonzo
Birchfield, witness for the defense.
Birchfield was arrested and re-
/ leased for completely in the crime.
So far the State has woven a COM
plete chain of strong circumstantial
evidence around the accused youth,
and the defense has completely failed
in establishing an alibi.
Permenter when brought into court
yesterday looked worried and showed
signs of weakness. He is restless and
twitches nervously in his seat.
After Judge Mclean passed on the
instruction, District Attorney Lamb
called in the alleged murderer. Mrs.
Mute McCool was called for the pur-
pose of laying predicate on the charge
of perjury on the testimony of Miss
Nellie Permenter.
Mrs. McCool said she was present
at Mrs. Sharpe's when Miss jamie
lay corpse and Miss Nellie was in
the hall. She said she was at Greg
ory's sewing when Swinton came end
gave her a package, about p. M,
and she reached home at sundown.
In the direct testimony Miss Nellie
said that Swinton Permenter was at
home plowing that evening at the
time she said he came by Gregory's
and gave her the package. Other
witnesses swore the same, contradict
ing Miss Nellie in every detail.
DR.. w. G. Demsy said that he went
down to Rural Hill the next day
after the occurrence with John Ray.
On returning that night he saw Geo.
Birchfield, a witness for the defense,
sitting by the roadside, about nine
miles from town. Then DIR. and Mrs.
Ray were called to refute Birchfield's
evidence as to his whereabouts that
night.
The State wanted Birchfield, but
he had disappeared during the night
from Louisville.
The argument began about p. m.
A large crowd was present and ex-
citement was intense.
Before adjourning for dinner, Judge
Mclean admonished the vast crowd
that no demonstration of any kind
would be tolerated, as he did not
want anything to occur to influence
the jury. He had solemn duty to
perform and was going to adhere to 1t
in the strictest letter of the law.
He also said that he did not want
to hear of any pistols being found on
any persons, and If so he would in
flict the severest penalty.
Argument began this morning.
County Attorney Gully, for the prose
cution, being the first speaker. The
speeches will occupy three hours to
the side. The house is packed and
every available space is occupied.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sharpe, mother and
father of the murdered girl, were
seated near the front, and at times
when Mr.. Gully referred to the re-
voting crime and to their daughter.
they wept bitterly.
