DELICATE BUT KEEN THRUST
English Lawyers Method Of Handling

Said John B. Curtis, the we'll known
lawyer and president Of the Indiana
fociety Of New York, speaking about
the recent heckling Of Detective Burns
when he was on the witness stand in
memorable case: I'm afraid that
sometimes we get little toe personal
and severe with witnesses. How much
better was the handling of a famous
detective who was testifying in a Lon.
don court. It was a divorce case and
Mr.. Frank Lockwood was the opposing
COUNSEL. The detective witness came

cloth. wore a gold fob and seals and
looked much more dke a respectable
middle-aged solicitor than a member
Of the police force. The mans ties
timony was likely to be damaging to
his client, 30 Mr. Lockwood began his
discrimination very gently and
was excessively polite.
81 believe you are John Blank Of
the firm Of Blank & Co., the eminent
detectives?'
Yes, SIR said the witness, I rep
resent that firm
And presume continued the
council, that in the course of your
duties as a detective you have. at
times, to assume many disguises?
"'Yes, sir

DEFENSE RESTS
 IN HUGHES CASE In yRebuttal Two Women Point Finger of Accusa-
 tion at Hughes.
TO ARGUE THURSDAY
Many Witnesses Testify to Defend ants Bad ReputatiOn-CaSe
 May Go to Jury Saturday.

Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 20.-Pointing the finger of accusation at J. J. Hughes, on trial for his life on the charge of murdering Tommy Dolan, two women took the stand in the First the witness box charged J. J. Hughes with the murder of their husbands. With the introduction of only Nlo witness at the morning ~session, the defenst rested it's case shortly after 10 o'clock and immediately the State began tht introduction of rebuttal evidence. The States contention has been that Hughes fired two shots into Dolan's' body, telephoned to the clerk downstairs and later fir ed two more shots to give" color to self defense plea that he had sud- denly thought of.
 It is expected the hearing of the evidence in the case will continue until Thursday, when it is probable the arguments to the jury will begin It is probable the issue I the case will be entirely in the hands of *le jury before adjournment Saturday.
 Mrs. Ida Hooker, former wife o1 John Ward, and Mrs. M. B. Poston former wife of w. w. Scott, were in troduced by the state in it's efforts to attack the character of Hughes for peace and quiet. Ward and Scott were both killed by Hughes.
 Mrs. Poston burst into tears as she told the jury: I hold no malice against John Hughes, for I love his memory" She said she married Dr. Scott, when she was but fifteen year; of age. Mrs. Poston controlled her tears with an effort and told as far as the court would allow her know ledge of Hughes reputation which she declared to be lad when drinking, "he is a dangerous man."
 Mrs. Ida Hooker said she is a sis ter of Alice Neville, of CollieEville, whose name figured in a previous murder trial, Jim Melville being fri- ed for the murder of Jack Gilbert. She married Young Ward in 1883. Ward was killed in 1894. Mrs. Ward then married Sidney J. Brown, who died in 1907, and she has since ms.- ried John Hooker from CollierVlile. Mrs. Hooker was dr:ssed' in mcurn- ing. She said, when asked regarding his failure towards, Hughes, - couldn't like any man who Killed my husband" She said Hughes reputa- tion was bad when he was drinking.
 After Wards death, Mrs. Hooker said she was alone at Haynes, hay ing no relatives there and no relative of Ward to consult, and that when ah,e asked the advice of friends they told her they were afraid to mix ln the matter, because they feared Hughes. Mrs. Hooker testified first and when Mrs. Poston left the stand the two women sat together among the spectators.
 F. M. Mills, stepfather of Mrs. Pos ton, living at Ravenden, Ark, testi- fie'i that Hughes reputation in his own vicinity is bad.

 In addition to his mills in southerr Illinois MT. Scott had extensive lunl- ber interests at Cabool, Ark, and als,, Dear Pine Bluff. Ark He left Metropolis February 9th in the inter- est of his business in that section ol the country. For several weeks he had not been in good health. Shortly before leaving home MT. Scott suf- fe1ed a severe attSk of ptomaine pois- ening. On advice eff 'his physician he secured "a bottle of wine and other medicine which he took with him and which we're found on his person.

. CYCLONE HITS AN ARKANSAS TOWN One Killed and Many Injur-
 ed at Lanark, in Bradley
 County Yesterday. MANY WIRES DOWN Meagre Details Here-StOrm General Over the Stlte-lLOcal Wire Troubles.

Meagre reports from Lanark, Ark,
 small town Southwest of Warren ill
 Bradley county, received here la st night, gave a few details of a death
 dealing cyclone, which swept over
 that town at o'clock yesterday af-
 ternoon. A Dr. Evans, we'll known
 physician of that place, was killed and
 number of persons injured. About
 fifteen house were wrecked. Owing to the fact that the telephone
 wires all over South Arkansas were down last night the Graphic was un-
 able to get any details of the storm at
 Lanark. The Southwestern officials
 here reported trouble on practically
 every line leading out of this city to
 South and Southeast Arkansas points.
 All of the towns in that section of the state were cut off from Pine Bluff, so far as communication was con- cerned. Only two of the eight long distance lines to Little Rcck were in
 working order last night and other
 places had to be reached in round
 about ways.
 The storm, which swept over this
 state throughout yesterday, carrying
 "a downpour of rain With it, was heav
 fest here at about o'clock last night, although little or no damage was done to property in this city. The hail that fell in the afternoon covered the
 earth with light coat of white, but , it lasted only a few minutes. The
 hail was about as large as pea.
 Fifty local phones were put out of
 commission l>4., yesterday afternoon and the Central" girls at the local Southwestern office found it difficult i=to give good service in many parts of < the city.
 The storm is general throughout the South, says the weather man, and [snow or sleet is predicted for today, if not before morning.
 Yesterday morning there was an al most spring temperature throughout the State, ranging from 40 to 50 de- ! grees, but back of this in the Vest { ern states is a storm center of man. ! meth proportions, and it is spreading every flying moment It is 10 de- grees colder right now in Oklah oma < than in Arkansas, and the reduction is on its way east as fast as it can < travel. There are already reports of V oAOW III oCCIlOAS Ol ohidHOIId tdllU
 Kansas, with that "sleety feeling'' < creeping over the Arkansas border "Wednesday promises tb be fair, though much colder.
 One of the unusual atmospheric dis turbances of the season was the elec- ! trical storm early yesterday morning
 It was a genuine electrical weather \ display, as thoroughbred, as if it had &been incubated during April or May There were scattered showers throughout Arkansas Monday night eand especially to the south, with d gsgeneral thunderstorm effect along the river valley.
 This is the second electrical display of the year, with the weather as the dynamo and the clouds as the batter { ie;.
