Marion Sims, the father-in-law of
Walter Wade, was the first witness
called by the state this morning when
court opened at 9:08 o'clock, after DR..
C. K Chapman. the defendant, had
been brought into the court room at
sos o'clock.
All witnesses were ordered to leave
the court room by Judge Littlejohn and
then Bailiff Smith brought the jury into
the court room.
Judge Hixon began the questioning
tor the state. Marion Sims attested
his relation to Wade, and said that on
the night previous to the alleged muir
der Wade and his wife took supper
with him. At this time Wade exhibited
a large roll of paper money, swore
Sims and said that he had a bag of
silver and gold in his pocket. Sims
swore that he telephoned the authori-
ties at Americus on Saturday, although
there was some talk over Leslie during
Friday that Walter Wade was missing.
Sims swore as to finding Wade's car
at Law Rees' garage on Cotton avenue,
and the blood stains on the seat at the
driving wheel, in the horn, under the
car and in the rear of the car.
Bullet Hole IN Front Of Car.
Judge Hixon asked the witness con-
cerning a bullet hole in the front of
Wade's car, and if man shot from
behind through the head while leaning
over would make such bullet hole i'm
preston. Frank Hooper, for the de-
fense, objected to this question as a
conclusion, but Judge Littlejohn over
ruled the objection.
Sims then swore that Dr. Chapman
repeatedly said that he and his son
&C. K. Chapman. Jr.) were both at
home on the night of the alleged muir
der. Sims told of the piece of wood
found on the Dixie Highway, near the
alleged scene of the murder, and how
he fitted it in the Wade car. He told
also of hiring boat and with two
negroes searching the river on the
morning of the day Wades body was
recovered from the waters of the Flint.
He identified bunch of keys produced
rrind hV
the dead man Sims then described
Wades car as an E. NJ. F., colored
ireyish-blue, which made peculiar
oise when in operation.
w. p Wallis cross examined Sims
for the defense, it being brought out
that there was talk in Leslie on Friday
that Wade was missing.
Judge Hixon asked that Sims be al
owed to stay in the court room, al
hough a witness. because of his rela-
ION to the deceased. Frank Hooper
first objected, but later Sims was all
lowed to remain, after Judge Little
John ruled he would not allow Sims
to again take the stand
Bigham COrrObOrateS Negro.
Z. d. Bigham swore that he came to
Americus on the night of August 18th,
with Walter Wade and two negroes. He
testified that the party stopped at DR..
Chapman's home. al that c. h.
Chapman, Jr., went Up the road on the
running board of Wade's car. Bigham
said the ear stopped in front of the
Windsor hotel, and that he went in the
windsor hotel pool room. remaining
for about three-quarters of an hour.
Bigham swore that he didn't see

Hidden Motive For Murder.

The motive will be taken up later
by the State, said Judge Hixon, and
then he particularized in discussion
of the case by reciting the facts of
Wade's departure from his home at
Leslie about dark on the night of Aug
ust 18th in the company of e. D. Gig
ham, white man, and two negroes.
Eleven days later the body of Walter
Wade was found in the Flint river.
Wade drove an old style E. NJ. F. auto
mobile which made a peculiar noise.
said Judge Hixon, and this car was
found on the morning of August 18th,
near the Central of Georgia passenger
station in this city.
At this juncture, Judge Hixon
charged that Dr. Chapman was one of
the last persons now alive to see Wal
ter Wade About IL o'clock on the
night of August 18th, Judge Hixon
said that the state would show by many
witnesses that two shots were heard on
the Dixie Highway, about wo miles
north of Americus, near the home Of
Crawford Wheatley, a former repre-
sentative and senator from Sumter in
the general assembly The state here
said that it would show where Wade's
hat was found on the morning after the
alleged crime.
Parties in Pine Orchard Saw Flashes
Judge Hixon alleged that the state
vould show by positive testimony that
rertejn parties in a pine orchard near
the alleged scene of the shooting would
say that they saw the flashes from a
gun and heard two reports. The state
contended that it would show DR..
Chapman and his son, also indicted,
drove by Wade's car standing near the
Central of Georgia depot on the morn
ing after the crime charged. Later,
DR.. Chapman and w, l. Johnson, one
of the men indicted. again drove past
the Wade car on the sapsz- @ay, said
Judge Hixon. and continuing he said
that the state would show that DR..
Chapman knew the car and gave no
alarm to the relatives of Wade. or the
authorities.
According to Judge Hixon, the state
will show that a man talked with DIR,
Chapman and w. l. Johnson early Sat
urday morning, following the alleged
crime on Thursday night, and the two
men indicted stated that they were then
preparing to search for the bod y of
Waco. Judge Hixon alleged that not
even the relatives of Wade had given
an alarm at this time, but that it came
Saturday afternoon when the absence
Of Wade was reported to the authOri-

MILITARY HONORS
SHOWN At BURIAL
Of NAVAL GUNNER

Full military honors were paid
Chief Gunner Bert E. Staples, who
was buried from his home here. says
the Standard Union of Brooklyn: A
detachment of bluejackets from the
electrical class at the Navy Yard, in
command of Chief Gunner Frederick
Petry, escorted the body to Greenwood
Cemetery, where the remains were in
TERED Taps" were, sounded and a
volley was fired over the grave Of
Staples, who was the first officer to
give up his life for his country since
war was declared against Germany.
The strain of working night and
day supervising the work Of installing
the guns on the ocean liners was the
real cause Of the death of Staples,
navy. officers say. Staples was at
tached to the ordnance department of
the Navy Yard and was the right hand
man Of. Lieut.. Rensselaer, Weston
Clark, ordnance expert Of the Navy
Yard. At the time the war broke
out Staples was in poor health and
was thinking Of asking for a leave of
absence. Previous to the declaration
Of war against Germany Staples had
been hard at work in putting guns
aboard the American liner St. Louis,
even while his health was gradually
failing
The official declaration of war
made him change his plans and with
out any one but his most intimate
friends knowing that Staples was a
sick man the Chief Gunner gritted his
teeth and went to work on the liners.
He kept up the work until a week
ago, when he collapsed, and he died
On Thursday. - IL
There was general regret expressed
at the yard when the death Of Staples
became known. immediately Rear
admiral Usher made preparations for
the military funeral, and the, chief
gunner was laid to rest with the flag
he worked so hard to defend twined
about his casket. .E

GROOM NOT DONE
AS MAJOR LEAGUE
PITCHER AS YET

Old Sir Robert Groom. the elonEa-
ted. attenuatsd toothpick twirIer. is
not through his major league endeav-
ors yet by a long shot. He proved
that in his great tuHsle with the
Griffmen at Georgia avenue.
Sir Robert faced his old teammates
with all the sang froid OF a mound
veteran. His telescope shoots were
just as puEzlinE as ever. His curve
ball was quite as effective and he
faxed his splitter cleVeriy. tossing up
one every now and then TO fool his
foes.
But for the triple that Zeb Milan
slammed IN q pinch, the veteran would
have won from the Grirfmen. He was
in but one real hole, I'm the third in
ming, and II was his fate TO have a
batEman come TO time with q hearty
poke for three corners.
Groom refused 10 stand for a cut
In salary from the Washington club.
and sased himself into the Federal
League, He failed to do much with
the independents, but when peace
settled down upon the baseball world.
he found himself with the 81. Louis
brownies and backed by q better club
than the Terriers had been,
Groom, whose home IL in BeileviIIe,
Ill, Just across the river from st.
LouIh, is more than thirty years old,
but he takes excellent care OF himself
and looks coed enough to last five
years yet,
