York, July 13.-The case of Albert

keeper of York, the night of Novem-
her z, 1921, went to the jury at $50
o'clock this evening. If verdict is
reached within few hours, it will
be returned and read in court tonight
The trial of the case was begun yes
terday morning and after the state
had closed its testimony in the after
noon the court directed the verdict of
not guilty as to Mrs. Effie Huggins.
wife of the slain man and alleged par
amour Of Zimmerman, who was joint
defendant with Zimmerman, being
charged with being an accessory be-
fore the fact.
The defense closed at l o'clock this
afternoon and after the noon recess
the state put up two witnesses in re-
buttal. Arguments then began, w. B.
Wilson of Rock Hill and Thomas F.
Mellow of York speaking for the de-
fense and Solicitor J. X. Henry of
Chester for the state. Judge Frank P
MCGOWAN began his charge, which
was lucid and comprehensive, at $40
o'clock and closed at $50, after which
the jury retired to deliberate.
That he shot and killed Ping Hug
gins in defense of his own life and
only after Huggins had attacked him
and thrown him to the ground, be-.
cause of his refusal to take Mrs. Hug
gins and the children to live with him,
was the plea advanced by Albert Zim-
norman, testifying this morning in
his own behalf. While the two men
rolled over and over on the ground,
Huggins clutching at his throat, Zm-
norman said he managed to draw his
pistol and shot his antagonist. Zim-
norman was unable to say how many
times he fired but did know he shot
at least once, after which he disen-
gagged himself from the relaxed grip
of Huggins and ran from the scene.
He hurt his ankle in the encounter
but despite this handicap managed to
walk that night to Kings Mountain
N. c., thence to Shelby, where he was
working in cotton mill and was ar
rest the next day.

opposite on the other side. On Madame's
right was NJ. Eugene and on her left
her eldest son. Marie-Therese really
should have been at Monsieur's right,
precedence being hers by reason Of wife
hood. but she graciously insisted on yield
ing to me, the Am6ricaine, and herself
took the left. The other big sons and the
little girls and Mademoiselle, their COVER
ness, ranked around the table according
to strict precedence.
The evening wore on toward midnight.
To the stranger there was enough Of in
terest in the many cabinets that had
places around the walls Of the salon
cabinets filled with intriguing souvenirs
Of ancestors long since called TO their
fathers; finger rings Of such curious de-
sign that their like is not often found
even in museums. And finally came
Madame, key in hand, to unlock the larg-
est Of the cabinets, from which she took
parchment paper and a gold cross mount
cd on a bit Of ribbon-a cross with a
kingly device And she spoke thus TO me:
"Know you, Mademoiselle the Ameri-
caine. that once upon a time, long, long
ago. as we say in the fairy tales, an an
eestor Of your own family here in France
was honored by the King, and by this
leather parchment, which bears the Kings
own signature, was made a Chevalier?"
And while we sat in front of the wood
fire she recited the history Of the Cheva-
lier, and she brought out his jeweled
sword and the India shawl that had be-
longed to his wife and, oh, lot Of other
heirlooms which she guarded as above
price. They are like that in France, and
that is why one finds so many actual mu-
scum collections in the old chatenux, for

So the day marched" as Madame her
self said, toward evening, and at dusk
there sounded great noise Of horns, Mon
sieur sounding one and his chauffeur an
other. The big car Of Eugene and Marie
Therese paused an instant, while Jean ran
out to unlock and swing wide the great
gates.
Soon we gathered in the immense salon,
where wood fire had been lighted. There
was Monsieur and Madame and NJ. Eu-
gene, Madame's own brother, and Marie
Therese, who had a lovely chateau Of
their own twenty miles distant, and the
three big sons Of Monsieur and Madame.
and the two little daughters. And the three
big sons kissed the hand of Madame their
mother, and then they kissed the hand Of
Nine. Marie-Therese, their aunt, and
they kissed the hand Of myself-the guest.
And Jean threw open the big doors and
announced dinner and Monsieur offered
his arm to me ard NJ. Eugene gave his
arm to Madame, his sister, and the eld-
est Of the three big boys bowed low to
Marie -Th6rese, his aunt, and the other
big boys, with grave courtesy, offered their
arms TO their two little sisters.
And so we marched down the enor-
mously wide stairway to the huge dining
salon on the ground floor that was the
same size as the huge salon upstairs. And
because it was Christmas and there were
guests, Jean had the valet de chambre TO
assist him in the dining room and the
valet wore many brass buttons on his blue
livery, although Jean himself, as beftted
his dignity as an o,d family retainer who

friend, until the hour for dinner at in

Left to my own devices, it required but
a moments consideration to plan for the
day. With new fields Of discovery out
there in that old, old city lying just out
side the park gates, who could want for
adventure? knew it's history well. Seat
Of the fortress of that Duke of Bourbon
who became King Of France, wing of
the old castle Is still extant, as we'll as
the old wall and the medieval clock
tower. So there was plenty Of promise in
a voyage of discovery Let it be said that
the adventure turned out even more fas-
cinatingly than anticipated, for turning a
corner suddenly-out Of one of those
twisty, narrow streets-I found myself
staring straight at an enhancing old
chapel. A real find, for it was the outer
shell Of a glorious old monument-the
famous tomb erected to a Montmorency
by his faithful duchess.
And back by way Of the wide avenue
which runs straight through the little city
--an avenue with such old trees that you
can glimpse the blue Of the sky only
through their interlaced foliage, which
completely canopies the street. And right
there at the end Of the avenue stood forth
one of those magnificent old Gothic church
monuments on which one is always STUN

filled with people coming and going from
the. church, in religious preparation for
Noel (Christmas). For in France the
great mid-winter holiday has ever been
kept as strictly religious holiday, with
very little giving cf presents. In fact, in
symbolic remembrance of the Infant whose
birthday it celebrates, it is reserved as the

Hattiesburg Hospital
Is Partially Burned.
Patients Being Taken Care Of
In NeighbOring Homes

Hattiesburg, Nov. 10.A(Special)-
Fire this morning burned off a
large portion of the roof of the
South Mississippi Infirmary,
hospital operated by DR.. w. w
Crawford, of this city, and created
sensation here when all the pa
tients were hastily carried out of
the building and taken to neighbor-
ing homes to be kept temporarily
until necessary repairs to the hos
pital could be made.
The Infirmary was filled with pa
tients. When the alarm was sound
ed, neighbors flocked into the build
ing and aided in the rescue work.
One patient was on the operating
table ready for the anaesthetic, and
had to be carried hastily out as
the water from the fire hoses was
already flooding the building.
No estimate of the damage has
as yet been made, the water damage
being probably more serious than
that of the flames. 1t was thought
that the fire was caused by de-
fectNe flue in the main chimney
from the heating system.
