EARLY MURDERCASE
NOW WITH THE JURY
Trial Of Cook in Uncle Sans
Navy Completed Today.
CRIME COMMITTED In JUNE.
Testimony Shows That Killing Was
Result Of Trouble Over DuskV-
DamseIs Of The City.

The case of Robert Early, 80 years
old, Virginia negro, charged with
the murder of James Wooten, young
colored man, Of this city. was given
to the jury shortly after o'clock
this afternoon, following elaborate
arguments by States Attorney Mich
olas H. Green. who conduct ID the
prosecution, and Mr.. Robert Moss,
who was counsel for the accused man.
The trial of the case consumed the
whole of todsy's session of the Cir
cult Court, and attracted large crowd
Of morbidly curious negroes, besides
a number of white persons. In fact,
many of the negroes were refused
admittanee 10 the Courtroom by the
bailief, because of crowded condi-
tions. -
In presenting the case to the jury,
States Attorney Green asked for a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
although he explained in detail to
the Jurors what constitutes the minor
verdicts in such a case. On the
other hand, Attorney Moss contended
that the accused man is guiltless of
murder at all odds, claiming that the
fatal wounding of Wooten was inflict-
ed in self-defense.
The crime was committed on the
night of June 8 last when the Allan
tic battleship feet was anchored off
Annapolis, ready tc take on the three
classes of midshipmen for their an
nual summer practice cruise. Early,
who was on a furlough that night
with shipmate named Fassett, at
tended a coored dance and got in
with some of the young colored wo-
men Of the town. 1t was said that
Wooten became offended at Early's
stte ntions to the women.
The killing took place in an alley
that makes in from Church Circle,
between the Hart Building and South
street. Much testimony was brought
out this morning by the State to
show that Early was the aggressor
of the trouble and entered the alley
with the intention of laying for
Wooten On the 9th ar hand, how
ever, the accused man when he took
the stand in his own defense, stated
that he went into the alley for no i'll
purpose, but was waiting the arrival
of one Of the women whom he had
met at the dance. He said that
Wooten attacked him, grabbed him in
the throat. and made a motion with
one hand toward the hip pocket.
Thinking that Wooten was reach
ing for a weapon of some kind, Early
said he toe k the knife which he had
in his hand, and attempted to cut the
hands that grasped him iu the throat.
and that the mortal wound was infict-
ed by Wooten as he warded off Early's
movement, changing the course of the
knife 50 that it buried itself in the
left breast near the heart.
The testimony of the prisoner
formed the basis of the self-defense
plea by counsel for the accused.
Other witnesses for the defense in
cluded Mr.. Edward Martz, an attor-
uty, and Mr.. w. L.. Dechard, post
master of Harrisburg, Va, Early's
native home, and also the chief of po-
lice of the same place All testified to
the excellent character and general
bearing of the prisoner, whom, they
said, the had known since mere boy.

FIRST NAVAL MOVE TO
DEFEND PANAMA CANAL
Submarine FlO,iIIa Ordered South
VIII Guard Pacific End
FIRST STEP IN WORKING OUT PLAN
GeBeral Scheme Of Defence for The
Panama Camel.

I hefrst step in the working out
of the plan for the nRyy's partieipa-
tion in the general scheme of defence
for the Panama Canal was taken on
Tuesday.
Secretary Daniels ordered the first
division of the submarine hotills OF
the Atlantic feet, consisting of sub
marines C-1. Co, C-S. ca and C.5,
and the converted monitor Ozark,
tender Of the division, to proceed
from Guantanamo to Cristobal in the
Canal Zone The Caesar will accom-
pany the submarines on the passage
across the Caribbean.
The ultimate destination will b.
the Pacific end Of the canal As soon
as the canal is opened to traffic the
submarines will be run through and
thereafter stationed permanently at
Balboa. The Ozark, which will ac-
company the little squadron from
Guauanamo 10 Cristobal, will shortly
be relieved by the tender Severn,
which will be the permanent escort
of the submarines at Balboa.
1t is not the present intention OF
the Navy Department to place an ad
ditional division of submarines at
the Atlantic end Of the canal. The
strategists figure that the presence
of the Atlantic feet at Guantanamo
furnishes adequate safeguard. The
steaming distance is not great. and
after the canal i. opened there will
probably be constantly maintained at
the south Cuban naval base iormid.
able portion of the Atlantic first line
of defence.
The submarines ordered south are
not the latest pattern in use in the
United States Navy The submarines
unnamed are designated by serial
letter and individual number. The
&C" class is the third class in the
service Already underwater torpedo
boats Of the *" class are under
construction. The most up to date
submarines in active service are
those Of the &C" and "H classes.
1t is believed that as the time APP
proaches for the opening of the Pana-
ma Canal to general traffic the Navy
Department will have fresh announce
inent as TO participation Of the navy
in the canal defence general scheme.
