TheOlOgians Set Free

From the Christian Register.
 Theologians. fortunately for the peace of the world, are no longer as positive as they were in their statements concerning the nature of God and the destiny of man. The foregoing statement was somewhat Intentionally made. As theologians We mad in mind not everybody who has a doctrine concerning God to proclaim, but only those who are free to think and not re- sponsible to any ecclesiastical authority for the truths they hold or the doctrin- they proclaim. Still it is true that even in Islam, in Judaism, and the established church of Europe the arrogance of the ecclesiastic has been somewhat modified by the temper and speech of the liberty loving. independent theologian. It is a good thing to release capable thinkers from al lthe bonds of creed and the fear of penalties while inviting them to sound the heights and depths of the spiritual universe that may be accessible to them and then to bring in their report Jrp to date the report has been a cheerful enc and affords an effective antidote to both the superstition and the materialsm which in the last generation cast a gloom over the hearts and consciences of mary devout people.

 Colonel Caldwell was shown the eX- animation paper of Majors for the po- stion of fireman, and it developed that he had overlooked the fact that cer- tain parts of it were not written by Majors; witness also admitted that the crossing of the Us in the word letter in the Thompson and "AH" letters were different. He denied that he had said the words were identical, and his state ment was read to him by the court stenographer. and he stated to MT.

CLAIMS MAJORS MADE CONFESSION ID HIM IN THE JAIL r -s Crane Is Last Wit ness Put on Stand for Prosecution EvDEPTS ABE HEARD ON FEATURES OF CASE Caldwell Testifies To Handwriting and Schulhoefer To Chemical
 Composition of Ink and
 Paper Used

The prosecution rested Its case yester- day just before noon in the trial of Will liam Majors, the young white man who is on trial in the first division of the cr.minal court, with testimony of an al- lesed confession of his guilt.
 Thenas Crane, prisoner in the coun- ty jail, who is being held on a charge of murder, was the last witness put on the stand by the state, and 1t was he
 who gave testimony of the alleged con- fe ssion He said that he and Nabors were together in Majors cell at the jail, and had heen talking about the Cum nngham wreck, when Majors said By G., I wrecked it. and il1ere will be more WI ecks when l get out.'
 | Witness said that he communicated the confession first to his son, Walter Crane, and that later he told Deputy Newman about. it. Closely cross-questioned abou. the time of the alleged confession, wit ness was at first unable to fix upon the time, but finally said it was made on the 11th of December of last year.
 Witness Crane succeeded Dr. Louis
 Schulhoefer as an expert to testify to the
 identity of the ink used on the anonymous
 letters received by Superintendent Brooks

of the Louisville and Nashville, and that in the bottle secured by Sheriff Thomas R. Shipp at Nabors' house in Decatur.
 Chemist Testifies
 Dr. Schulhoefer stated that in hls opinion, after making analyses of the ink and paper the ink was the same and the paper of the anonymous letters the same as the tablet gotten at Majors house.
 Dr. Schulhoefer was the third witness Caldwell, who finished his testimony as to the handwriting alleged by the prose- cution to be Nabors'-the writing in the anonymous letters telling of the wreck at Cunningham, and making threats that more wrecks would happen if negro crews were not taken off on the Louisville and Nashville.
 Colonel Caldwell repeated his conviction testified to yesterday that the writings on all the papers in the case, some of which have been shown to be genuine, were made by the same person, but the effect of his testimony on that point was weak ened considerably on cross-examination. Witness in response to a question was telling what remuneration he usually re- ceived to attend court in cases of this kind. He replied that he charged some- times as low as $10 day and that his charge ran up to 1925 or s3O a day; where his sympafhies were with the defendant he charged s25. He stated that his sym pathy with the accused was taken into consideration in fixing his charges. Asked what his cnarges in this case were, he replied that he got s25 a day on the for mer trial and expected to get that on this one.
 Witness stated on direct eXamina tion that the word letter" contained in one of the Thompson letters was identical in forma tion with the same word in one. of the anonymous letters. Asked about his statement on cross exam ipation. he denied that he said they were identical, saying there was nc such thing as identity of formation of words and he acknowledged that cer- tain parts of the two words in the two letters were differently formed.
 No afternoon session of court was held yesterday, the prosecution closing it's case at 12:30. Adjournment was taken until Monday morning at 9:30, at which time the defense will begin the fight for Majors liberty. The num- Der of witnesses summoned for the de- fense is very large, almost as many as the state has used, and it is unlikely that the case will go to the jury be.

 On redirect exarfination MT. Allen asked the witness what Majors said to him when he went back to jail about his going over to the court house.
 T don't know that he named the matter to me-" said the witness.
 You told MT. Heflin that you didn't want to testify in this case, ddn | you?"
 "Yes."
 With MT. Cranes testimony the days session of court was brought to close and the state rested it's case. The de- fense will begin the examination of it's witnesses Monday morning.

Buckland found it necessary to consult Dean Stanley on the interpretation of the Mosaic law forbidding the consumption of things that creep, and together they pondered he question, "Do oysters creep?' It was decided that they do creep, ana oysters have since been stunned by the orthodox Jews.

In the old days God sent His angels oft
To men in t%hresh.ng floors, to woman
pressed
With daily tasks: they came to tent and
croft.
And whispered words of blessing and of
rest.
Not mine to guess what shape those
angels wore,
Nor tell What voice they spoke, nor with
what grace
They brought the dear love down that
evernOre
Makes lowliest souls Its best abiding
place.
But In these days l know my angels well;
They brush my garments on the com
mon way,
They take my hand and very softly tell
Some bit of comfort in the waning day.
And though their angel names ] dc not
ken,
Though in their faces human love j
read,
They are Godgiven to this world OF men.
God sent to bless it In it's hours of need.
Child. mothers, dearest wife, brave hearts
that take
The rough and bitter cross. and help US
bear
Its heavy weight when strength is like TO
break,
God bless You all. our angels unaware!
