In the midst of a crowded court

of a conglomeration of all sorts of
men and women, and happenings, ey-

to miss d word of the testimony given
in unusually low tones, Attorney NJ.
M. Nicely, representing Nick Bostic
in the murder trial which will prob

denly decided he had endured just
about enough of Attorney Harry
shaw's cross examination of his pet
witnesses. He got suddenly to his
feet with the following remarks ad-
dressed to the witness on the stand
but fired straight at Shaw: "Seaking
of reputation, what do you know of
the reputation of Mr. Shaw" he said
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1920-02-11

Whatever you do know, don't tell ths

This was a bit more than Attorney
Shaw cared to let slide so he also
arose to his feet and addressed the
witness, by name George Hartsell.9
from Kilarm, saying. +If You had to
choose between the two of us which
would you choose. Just what do ayossi

witness in the straigest voice he had
used since the beginning of his tes-
tlmony. Neely was ready with an
other telling shot but Judge Lowe
brought an end to matters by inform

scored and no other remarks were
necessary.

ber's daughter Seraphina Bostic, on
Dec. 6, got in some good lfcks this
morning when he tore down every
reputation which the defense had
built for Bostic through Bostic's
friends. One by one various men
TOOK the stand and ware asked by
Attorney Nicely what they knew OF
Bostic's reputation for peace and
quietude." The general answer was
that the defendant was most peace
full and quiet all the time. In fact
so strong has Attorney Neely played
up Bostic's pe>ce loving nature that
spectators wouldn't have been sur
prised in the least to see wings
sprouting from the defendants.
Bostic smiled frequently today,
wheeling around in his chair once or
twice to see the audience better. His
eyes continued to remain screwed in
to speculativeness and he doesn't

It's the same old story in the coal
region today. There are only $50 cars
officially reported present on the divi.
sion and the actual placement at z
o'clock was 449. No mine has all the
cars it needs and LOT operations are
down entirely.
Production yesterday amounted to
4S cars. OF these 427 went east and
55 went west. Coke loading on the
Monongah division amounted to six
cars.
On the Monngahela.
The Monongahela road is doing bet
ter than the Baltimore and Ohio. The
placement. there today amounted to
forty per cent. of a normal supply of
empties. Two hundred and twenty
six cars were placed at West Virginia
mines and 300 at Pennsylvania mines.
Loading on this road yesterday
amounted to 23S cars in this state and
255 in Pennsylvania.
One Ray of Light.
There Is one encouraging feature Of
an otherwise totally gloomy situation
and that is that for the time being at
least the transportation end is looking
