 suit for libel the former chairman O ! the republican state committe, l hEought against the former presiden of the United States, had delivered hi: charge.
 WlWam M. Wins, chief counsel fol MT, 3Arnes concluded his address tc { ther jury today by assailing the for nler president as being the real pos sessor of, a "Jekyll-Hyde personality Instead of MT. Barnes.
 MT.

By this sin fell the angels Colonel .'Jekyll-Hyde." M'Mr. Barnes didn't have that dual personality; it was this defendant fwho possess it. He said he wanted to do up the MT. Hyde in MT. Barnes so he appointed him to office twice. lAnd when he wanted to defeat race track legislation he called in this man, EEfo was struggling between two per |sonalities. The defense sets up that was wrong for MT. Barnes to interest himself In the defeat of that bill, and khey overlook the fact that it was this Attendant as president of the United 5tates who asked him to do it, and Then this libel was written this de- endant wanted to kill MT. Barnes.

General List Shows Marked Re-

New York, May 20, Wall St. 1o:30 Q. m.-Prices tended downward again at the outset of today's market oper- ations, the only exceptions being cer- tain of the war specialties, which re- corded gains of 1 to 3 points. Standard shares, including the speculative lead CTS, were fractionally lower, while Chesapeake and Ohio and Missouri Pacific were under pressure in con- nection with impending developments affecting their future. Secondary quotations were better, the general list showing marked recoveries before the end of the first half hour. Trad ing was relatively light, however, the foreign situation acting as a restrain ing influence.
 Close.-A sudden advance of three points in Missouri Pacific, followed by an equally abrupt decline of IA, was the only feature of the late trading. The closing was steady.

used to term an ''all-fred, genuine,

church or school house. From the
house there issued groans, cries,
shouts of defiance, oaths and threats
of hanging the old JEFF Davis

around l felt as if Dante could not

one of his compartments of hell.
Our surgeon was exerting himself
with all means at his hands and to
the extent of his ability to alleviate
the more seriously wounded and suf-

had just breathed his last, he came to

dare, like towards, to curse and yell
