RESTED GlsEH
VERY SUDDENLY
Evidence Of Mrs. Hayes Depended
On for Acquittal

Whiteyille, March l3.--Relying al
most entirely upon the evidence Of
the female defendant, the case for the
defense in the trial OF Mrs. Rosa
Hayes for the murder Of Robert Floyd.
and her husband, as accessory. was
closed on Friday Fully forty wit
nesses had been called by the de-
Tense, and the resting Of the case SO
suddenly came as very great sur
prise.
In rebuttal. the state brought out
some very strong evidence, as i'm
portant perhaps as during the trial.
and in some respects more so, for IL
directly contradicted Mrs. Hayes as
to certain conversations che had had
relative TO the shooting. The condi-
ton of the bed, where the defendant
and Floyd, ii was claimed, tusseled.
was shown TO be different from what
would have been expected.
The general opinion is that the
state has not made out strong case
against Neill Hayes, the most impor-
tant evidence against him being his
inquiries relative TO attorneys just
before the tragedy. the whispered
conversation with his wife on the
afternoon of the shooting and bis tell
ing his wife, as was brought out in
today's evidence: IF they take YOU
up tell them he had hold OF you"
There is considered no probability
of Mrs. Hayes being found guilty OF
murder in the first degree. but YER
dict of guilty might be returned If the
judge should charge that a verdict
could be returned finding her guilty
of manslaughter.
Mrs. Hays More Serious.
One feature of the trial and Of the
case from its very incipiency for that
matter. has been the remarkable
nerve displayed by Mrs. Hayes during
the greater part of the trial No one
in the courtroom has been apparent
ly unconcerned. When she took the
stand. however. she was absolutely
transformed and looked like differ
ent woman, until she once more took
her accustomed seat near her attor.
neys, and again did she prove what
appeared to be an Indifferent spec
tator.
Mrs. Hayes has been far more seri-
Gus though than during the first day
or two OF the trial. AT first she
smiled frequently and seemed to take
real pleasure in the amusing Tits be-
tween attorneys and other laughablt
incidents in the courtroom. but dur
ing the past day or two she has paid
but little attention TO such matters
She s more pale than at FIRST, but
has stood the strain far better than
her husband.

that the last speech will be made be.

In it's entirety this section of the city must
have presented an imposing appearance, being
literally a ~forest.1o of columns surrounding and
connecting the various courts. AS to the use
OF these great colonnades, tradition and his
tory are equally silent. Some think that they
were the law courts of the ancient city, where
Justice was administered and punishment
meted out. Others say that they were the
market places, where the produce of. the sur.
rounding country was bought and sold. This
latter explanation has one strong
ton In its favor in that the descendants of
the builders of the ancient city of Yucatan

South OF the Cenote Grande there are a num-
Der OF Well-preserved structures, most Of them
presenting beautifully sculptured facades. To

probably have little or nothing to do with
the original uses of the buildings. One large
structure, for example, has been called sThe

so Tar advanced that these once splendid nal
aces and temples are now but little more than
shapeless mounds of fallen masonry. The total
area covered by ruins which may be assigned
to this center of primitive population has been
estimated by some as. high as ten square miles.
That larger Maya cities yet remain to be dis
covered now seem highly improbable so thor
oughly has the general exploration of the area
been done. Consequently we may affirm with
but little hesitation that The Holy City of the

the Maya civilization and probably of abor.
1ginal America as well.

sold in fair volume yesterday and

said, too that an order had been OBJ

chicago, H.. April 1s.-Wheat: The
market opened steady to a shade
easier and was very erratic, the tone
early being inclined toward weakness
and the market became oversold. "A
covering movement took place when
Bradstreet's statement was Issued.
This action in the market was follow
ed later by an entire collapse, with the
May delivery leading. The May de-
livery in Minneapolis showed about
the same relative weakness as our own
on the decline. Muscle may prove q
temporary influence, but 1t cannot be
a permanent one. Supply and demand
have always eventually been the price
makers OF all commodities, and we
firmly believe they will prove so in
determining the value of wheat.

since 1866, an act which was very
highly appreciated by Mr.. Douglas.

It was hardly apparent today that
there was any school election taking
place in the city, so small percent
age of the voters turned out to sup
port the candidates. 1t is estimated
that there was not more than $50 votes
cast in the entire city. A canvass
at the different polling places this aft
ernoon showed that no voting precinct
had had more than twenty votes cast
and some of the polling places had
only about a dozen votes in.
No new candidates appeared at the
polling places to distribute stickers.
Stickers of d. B. Holt, C. o. Smith
and Q. r. Adams were to be found at
all the polling places, although no one
was present to see that these were
