L. Heard. J. B. Marbury, United States "weath er bureau man,” one ot the star wit nesses for the defenae, went through statistics which he hod gathered to show just how full the moon was on the night of the killing and how many clouds obscured tlie sky. In msklng his conclusions, the attorneys for tbs defense brought him an almanac. This almanac will probably be placed among the evidence which will go to tho Jury in the case. Mr. Marbury was questioned by the defense as to a person’s ability to Iden tify people by moonlight. ”1 experimented with my wife on Just that point,” said Mr. Marbury. "The tnoon was three-quarters full when I made the experiment. My wife was 50. feet away and could not iden tify tnc." In Colonel Hill's cross-examination, the court room was kept In a roar or laughter. A False Prophet. "You prophesied, did you not." said Colonel Hill, "that yesterday was go ing to be n fine day? And It rained.” Mr. Marbury detded 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.

Eubank, county policeman, con tradicted part of the state's evidence I lie said that on the night of the shoot ing he and Policeman Heard were the only officers close to the negroes when, the lutter fired. The state claims a number of officers wero there. The rase will probably occupy all of Tues day and Wcdnesosy. OPERA GLASSES Not only make a handsome gift, but one of lasting usefulness.
