Monday and trial of the case OF
the State VS.. Earl Ford, charged
with the murder of John Duncan

The State called only four wit.
nesses: Coroner Brock, Wiley
Lott, Ed Thompson and Charley
Boyles, by whom it was their
object to prove that John Dun
can, while sitting unarmed upon
stump, was shot three times
and killed by Earl Ford.
Testimony brought out showed
that Duncan claimed 20 cords of
wood out of 50 cords in all, cut
and stacked in the old rice field
near Angie, his claim being con-
tested by Earl Ford, who went
armed with a shot gun with q
team and driver to haul away the
contested wood after having been
warned that Duncan's avowed
intention was not to let any one
touch the wood in question.
Prosecution further went ON to
prove that the accused, on his
wagon in company with his
teamster, Ellis Harold, early on
the morning of killing, drove by
the house of John Duncan, whom
be was carrying a gun for, and
Duncan being in yard called twice
to Ford to stop Ford gave or.
ders not to stop, and Harold
drove on down a winding road t.
where the wood was located
while Duncan and Wiley Lott,
his stepson, who was living with
him, walked through the near
cut, reaching wood soon after
other two.
Coming up he said to Ford: II
reckon you've come to move that
WoodS" Ford answered: Yes. +"
Duncan said: well, % cords of
it are mine and I'm not going to
allow it touched" The argu.
ment continued. and all the while
Ford was standing with his gun
in hand and is said in the heated
argument here to have said he
would kill Duncan. Latter said
he lad no gun but if Ford would
wait until he got one they'd mix
the shooting. Ford said he was
going to shoot, but Duncan said
be hadn't the nerve; if he did, to
pour it into him; then the gun
fired and witness looked around
and saw that Duncan had fallen

shots being fred into the pros.

DAREDEVIL FEAT A
CARNIVAL FEATURE

Lew Dufour Shows. which are being
given in Annapolis for the benefit of
the Loyal Order of Moose, are this
week presenting a strong competition
for the attractions of June Week at
he Naval Academy and are having
4 most successful run of performances
every evening.
One of the special side shows which
has proved big attraction is the "Silo
Drome.- which gives the spectators
the thrill of seeing a man apparently
AXE a big chance with his life. thing
which is invariably interesting TO the
auman species. Actually the man who
performs the feat of riding at so high
a speed that he is enabled by centri-
fugal force to stick fiy-like against the
yertical walls of the enclosure and
says he isn't afraid of the trick, though
it actually appears to the spectators
10 be very dangerous.
The rider is Billy Matteson and
Billy takes his chances against speed
and gravity several times every even
ing without tremor.
The Silo DrOme is located at one
end of the carnival grounds. Another
attraction that has drawn big audi
ences is the Minstrel Show The cast
is entirely of colored people and a
highly entertaining show is put on.
