If the Inhabitants of the moon had been In the criminal branch of the su perior court Tuesday morning they might have resented the rigid exami nation to which their luminary was subjected by the defense In the cases of Marlon Peters, Jim Peters, George Dewts and Wiley Brooks, all negroes, charged with the murder of County Policeman J. I,. Heard. J. B. Marbury, United States "weath er bureau !han," ohe of the star wit nesses for the defense, went through statistics which he had gathered to show Just how full tho moon was on the night of the killing and how many clouds obscured the aky. In making his conclusions, the attorneys for the defense brought him an almanac. This almanac will probably be placed among the evidence which will go to the Jury In the case. Mr. Marbury was questioned by the defense as to a person's ability to Iden tify people by moonlight. "I experimented with my wife /on Just that point,” said Mr. Marbury. "The moon was three-quarters full when I made the experiment. My wife was 50 feet away and could not iden tify me.” In Colonel Hill's cross-examination, the court room was kept In a roar of laughter. A False Prophet. “You prophesied, did you not," said Colonel Hill, “that yesterday was go ing to be a fine day? And it rained.” Mr. Marbury denied making the prophesy, which was published In one of tho papers. On a question from Colonel Hill, he admitted that his pre dictions were not Infallible. One of the witnesses for the defense. , C. Eubank, county policeman, con tradicted part of the state’s evidence He said that on the night of the shoot ing he and Policeman Heard were the only officers close to Ihe negroes when the loiter fired. The state claims a number of officer* weie there. The case as 111 probably occupy all of Tues day and Wednesaay. OPERA GLASSES Not only make a handsome gift, but one of lasting usefulness.
