TO initiate steps looking TO division

another to be known as the Diocese OF
Southwestern Virginia. The movement
is being made looking 20 n division
of the present diocese At 'some point
east OF LynchburG, so that the parishes

The whole proposition is dependent
upon an acquiescence of Bishop Ran

proposition ii will then be brought TO
the attention OF the council in Ports
mouth. which will name a commission
to consider the division and make re-
port to the annual meeting to be held
in the spring Of 1916.
MUST HAVE APPROVAL
OF GENERAL CONVENTION
In case the report OF this commission
should be favorable 10 the project the
desire of the council OF the diocese
would be brought to the attention of
the General Convention OF the Episcopal
Church. which is TO meet next in ST.
Louis in October, 1916 From this it
will be seen that II will be at least
two years before the change can be
brought about. even IL 1t meets with
no opposition.
While II is not Officially stated that
Bishop Randolph has consented to the
establishment OF new diocese. IL is
understood that he has indicated that
the matter will have his approval at
the proper time.
The question has been discussed at
some Of the convocations of the church
in the diocese this spring. and there
seems to be a general desire for a
division in order TO reduce the ter
ritory to be covered by the bishops.
Should the new diocese be established
1t is expected that all OF the churches
south and west of Lynchburg would
be taken from the present, Diocese of
Southern Virginia and placed in the
new.

DENIAL OF THREAT TO KILL
Woman in Connell Murder Case Gigs
Back on Testimony as to Enmity
Toward Dead Man.
1MPEACH1NG STATE WITNESSES

LAS CRUCES, N. NJ, Sept 7.-(special
Telegram.)--An effort IL being made by
the defense in the Porter murder case to
Impeach Jose Duran the Mexican who
fret found the body Of Ralph Conneil.
This was developed today In the questions
asked by the defense.
Bud" Nelson. testified that he saw
Duran leading a horse along the road
and that he hitched II near the Porter
home. Tho horse. he testified, was Con-
neirs. and then left 10 20 back TO Con-
nelra body which lay beside the road.
The fact that Duran spoke English.
although he understood nothing that had
been said at the time of killing was also
brought out by the attorneys for the de-
Tense.
Mrs. Anna Jackson, testified. that she
had had conversations with ]. c. Cravens
and that Cravens said that the old water
suit in which she was concerned was Ia
take n new turn. "Cravens told me that
Connell would have to be killed" she
said. "Cravens also told me that in the
case OF Porter carrying concealed weapons
the justice would have TO be bribed and
1 would have TO do the bribing"
On cross-examinatlon, conducted by w
J. Connell. she denied that sho had stated
that Cornell would have to be killed and
Porter was tho only man with nerv,
enough 20 do IT," She also denied thai
she had said that Mrs. Ralph Council
would some day be found dead on the
bank OF the canal.
The defense will make an effort t.
break Duran's testimony and 10 refut,
his statement that he made on the stand
that he saw Porter near the little house
that he saw a puff of smoke come from
the house and that no said, MY God
that man has killed Mr.. Connell." In ar
effort TO impeach Duran's testimony, Ions
extracts from the coroner's record wer,
read to the court and into the record. A
number Of character witnesses for Porter
were also examined today.
