PRINCE GEORGE COURTHOUSE,
VA. April l9.-With the strong op-
posing counsels primed for the Bit
'crcst fight OF tns session. Circuit
Court convened here at s:45 this
morning for the second day OF the
trial Of Policeman A. n. Anthony, for
the shooting of William Stafford.
Judge Marshall Peterson presiding.
and Mrs. A. V. Hickman on the wit
ness stand
Mrs. Hickman testified that. al
though she was now residing in
Hopewcll. she was living on the ad-
Joining farm at the time of the shoot
!ng. She stated that she was about
her home on the morning Of the
shooting and that there was cons.h-
cradle firing all .ha morning. admit
ting the probability that there wcrs
hunters in the neighborhood She
further declared that she assisted in
the bringing of William Stafford to
the Cox house directly after he was
wounded and aided in the attempt to
revive him.

L ot Nhti b<S'iHloUy III regard 10 neT
meeting with Stafford after the
shooting corresponds in all particu-
lars with the testimony given by her
daughter, Miss Matte Hickman. on
the first day OF the trial. except on
what Stafford said while In the car.
In answer to the question OF the pros
ecution on this point, she made the
assertion that '.hc talked considera-
bly, of dying and when I asked him II
he saw any one in the woods or saw
who shot him, he said that he saw
n stout man with a Panama suit"
1t was taken for granted. in this in
stance that the deceased meant a
Palm Reach suit.
Anthony In Dark Clothing.
Upon her assertion that Stafford
had seen only n man in "a Panama
suit" the defense declared that 1t
had proof that Anthony was not so
dressed. but was dressed in a dark
suit. The prosecution. however. de-
clared that this only showed that
Stafford had not seen the man who
shot him.,
Mrs. Hickman also asserted as did
some OF the later witnesses that
she heard Stafford say that he was
dying and that he felt blood run
ming into his stomach"
The prosecution then assumed that
it had laid n proper foundation for
the dying statement. stating that it
had brought several proofs OF the
fact that Stafford was cognizant OF
his condition. The court, however.
disagreed on the point. asserting that
Il am dying" Is commonly an ex-
preston OF anguish and Stafford
could possess no certain knowledge
of his condition.
DIR. Reese, the physician who at
tended Stafford. was next called to
the stand. explaining the nature of
the wounds.
W. It. Hickman. who helped to take
Stafford out OF the car, was next
called. During the course OF tho
testimony he stated that while lying
on the bed. Stafford had said. "I wish
they'd killed me outright. I'm suf-
fering so bad that I'm dying" and
that revolver had dropped from his
pocket as he was being carried Into
the house. He further asserted that
while on the way to the hospital.
Stafford rad again said, .TsIls Jesse

time, the work OF the conference IS

reception awaited him. The devil saw
him and said: "For many years thou
hast borne the blame for the many
errors made in the paper. The paper

often failed to come in. The printers
have deviled thee on Saturday night
for wages when thou hadst not one
cent to thy name. Men have taken the
paper without paying for it and ours
ed thee for not getting it out better.
Thou hast been called dead beat by

almond
COUNTRY
BEAUTIFUL

A local lover of natures endow-
nlents to mother earth recently spent
a day visiting relatives in the town of
Almond and was so impressed with
the beauties of that country that he
was moved to tell of some of his i'm
pressions which are as follows:
There seems to be an impression
that one must go to the northern part
of the state, the section dotted with
lakes, for an ideal outing place. An
other impression seems to be that
southern Portage county is an area
of sand dunes and minus natural bod
les of water. But you'll be surprised
if you ever tour around that way
Within couple of miles of Almond, a
short distance down the North West
ern line from Wisconsin Rapids, are
two of the incest lakes you ever laid
your eyes on, both nesting in saucer
shaped basins formed by hills covered
with a beautiful growth of oak trees
and shrubbery. The shores of these
lakes afford as nice outing places as
one could wish. The general scenic
effect is really inspiring.
Vast fields of potatoes, corn, hay
| oats, rye and other crops, all looking
| good, with the land rolling just enough
for drainage, practically stumpless
| and here and there broken with farm
| home screened with shade trees or q
| piece of forest spared by the wood
mans axe is a panoramic view of the
farming territory. The hay, one o.
the best yields in years, is being har
vested. Early potatoes are in bios
som. Corn and late potatoes are com
ing up rapidly. Other crops are doing
correspondingly well. In general al
the growth appears to be thriving, ant
the indications are the harvest will
| be generous one The woods abount
in hazelnuts and blueberries. Wild
roses also grow profusely in that sec
ton.
Two mulberry trees, very rare spe
cies of trees in this section, can bt
seen growing and bearing fruit on the
farm of William Karnopp near Al
mond. As near as could be learned
they were planted as seedlings from s
nursery by the early settlers of the
place. Now they are of the size of {
full grown apple tree which they re
semble very closely. The fruit looks
just like the blackberry, but its TASTE
is not SO sweet as the blackberry, be
ing fiat" The tree, we are told, is G
native of the middle parts of Asia ane
was introduced in Europe more than 6
1000 years ago. In this country they
grow mostly in the Southern states
and California. The berries are gooe
for dessert, preserving and wine-mak
| ing The wood is used in cabinet NAL
ing in some cases. The leaves som,
! times are used for feeding silk worms
