which two men. Charles Pearman and

There had been certain conflict In
the testimony of witnesses as TO
whether the murdered mans legs

Because Of this and to make certain
whether the murdered man was or

the North applied for permission TO
have the body exhumed and examined.
At nrst she experienced considera bic

left of the judges bench tonight there
was nothing in their faces to indicate
what they would do. although there
was q general impression In the court
room that there would be a hung
jury.
Attacks Credibiiity of Witness.
Judge Grahams principal plea for
Mrs. Carman was an attack upon the
credibility OF Celia Coleman. the negro
servant. who swore at the trial that the
defendant confessed to her that she
fred the shot which killed Mrs. Bailey
He pictured her AS self -confessed
perjurer. whose testimony had been
linked to that OF a convicted thief
For two hours he hammered away at
the idea that this girl told in the wit
ness chair a story across which the
shadows of prison bars were cast. n
story that disagreed absolutely with
the one she told when she was ques-
toned by a man friendly to her. whose
and, who, accordingly. brought to bear
upon her all the influences which tend
ed to lead her to tell frankly all she
knew.
He declared II was impossible for any
body of intelligent men to believe the
story Of girl whose category OF un-
forgiveahle offenses contained only one
item, and that suicide. As he built
up his argument around the impossi-
bility OF believing the story Of Celia
at the trial he Numbered against the
unfairness Of District Attorney Smith.
He affirmed that witnesses upon whose
testimony before the grand Jury an
Indictment had been found, had not
been called by the prosecution. He

which she testified at the coroner's

that girl, but remove her from the

emily trying to conceal"
The district attorney then took up
the various points brought out by the
defense through It's Witnesses and
showed that In many instances the
prosecution had been helped rather
than impeded by their testimony, and
that great deal OF 1t was In fact
illogical. When he had Anished tho
impression was pretty General that
the summing up had been masterful
and the States case very materially
helped.
Judge Charges Jury.
During the judges charge Mrs.
Carman did not look as II she wAs
following the judge very closely. or
even trying to. For the first time
her nervousness seemed to make her
use her hands unsracefully and for =
good part Of the judges charge her
fingers played with her lips or con-
stantly twined and intertwined in her
lap.
Judge Kelby concluded his charge
by asking that tho Jurors remember
that they had been selected as judges
and that they do their best to 1nd
the truth and to have their verdict
upon 1t. The charge took forty min ,
utes and the jury went out at 9:4s

abscess in the ear when the pain and
restlessness have been ascribed to
the teeth. Other ills too numerous to
mention have been overlooked be-
cause baby was cutting tooth.
Babies cut teeth from the age of
months to 8 years; therefore, if all
the ills which are commonly sup
posed to be due to teething were
really a fact and did exist, all the
babies would be sick all the time be-
tween these years.
Of all questions in medicine, prob
ably none has led to more discussion
than this: Does the cutting of teeth
affect the health Of the child? You
may settle this question to your own
satisfaction and have a number of
writers with unquestioned reputation

wish to take.
In a very large percentage of
healthy children the cutting of teeth
produces no symptoms. In the high

be produced which will last few

eruption of the teeth.

TWO men being shot in Mr.. Tom

said that Oliver had warrant for

shal Bruce Slaughter, Of Robins
vile, who happened to be in town
to assist him. When th9 oficers en-
tered the shop it seems that Mar
shal Oliver drew his pistol on Shep-
herd and told him he had a war
rant for him. Shepherd immediate
ly drew MS pi ;toI and commenced
firing. He fired two or three shots
and ran out the door and made
escape. II the meantime Oliver
