FORMER DETECTIVE ‘
W. 0. Swift Will Make Statement in
Own Behalf and State Will Submit
Testimony in Rebuttal.
Macon, July 11.—With the introduc
tion this morning of the defendant,
who will make a statement, the de
fense will rest its case in the trial
of W. 0. Swift, charged with the mur
der of Phillip Lamar, and under in
dictment, with two other detectives
fcr the murder of Lamar and Kim
brell. |
It appeared last night that the casel
will go to the jury tonight at a spe
cial session after supper. Judge Ma-l
thews will in all probability hold a
‘special session. The defense announc- |
ed at the closing of yesterday's ses
‘sion, shortly before 7 o’clock, that it
would conclude the introduction of
testimony with the statement of Swift.
The state will offer testimony in re
buttal immediately following Swift's
statement, which will not consume
more than thirty minutes. The state’s
rebuttal testimony depends largely
upon what Swift says in his statement,
attorneys for the state said last
night.
\ Neither side has yet asked for a
given amount of time, although it is
understood that the defense will ask
for five hours. If it is granted, the
arguments alone will consume ten
hours, necessitating a night session to
finish the case today. It is known that
Judge Mathews is anxious that it not
lapse into Saturday.

WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS
‘ LEAD TO TRAIN WRECKING
| Laredo, Tex., June 10, (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press.)—With
drawal of troops from bandit-infested
regions in central and southern Mexi
co to campaign against Villa in the
worth has led to a new wave of train
wrecking and railway destruction in
‘hat republic according to stories
printed in Mexico City papers receiv
-1 in this city.
The most striking feat of the rebels
iwas the capture o fa train from Mexi-
I::o City to Puebla at a point a few
.miles from the latter city by the
forces of the former federal general,
irilo Arenas, who revolted about a
‘ear ago. One hundred of the several
hundre dpassengers were seized as
hostages, among them an American,
Charles Chapman. They were driven
r hours on foot over rocky trails to
the headquarters of the rebel chief
|tain. Later they were released with
out being held for ransom and made
lnh-eir way safely to Puebla. The
pandits’ loot is estimated at 100,000
lpesos.
This follow close on the heels of the
capture of six well known residents
of Mexico City at a "picnic resort
known ag the Desert of the Lions,
10t more than a dozen miles from the
capital. The captors, former follow
ers of Zapata, sent the women of the
party back to Mexico City for a ran
som of 2,400 pesos and released their
captives when the money was deliv
ered.
More than 100 followers of Pedrc
“abay are reported to have been Kkill
~l when federal forces recantured the
wn of Cocoman, state of Vera Cruz.
The Excelsior tells of the muwrder
by handitg of the millionaire, Enrique
Langenschein, son of the German
consul at Guanaquato. Langenschein
met death at the hands of rebels flee
ing from Michoacan into Jalisco, who
l ught him on his ranch near Lake
(‘hapala.

GRAPE JUICE PLANT |
MAY BE ESTABLISHED
Thomasvilie, July 10.-—A represen
tative of a large grape juice manufac
turing company in New York has been I
in Thomasville for the past day or two
looking into the production of scup-l
pernong grapes in thig section to as
certain what quantity of them can be
supplied. This is being done with a
view to erecting a plant here for mak
ing scuppernong into Virginia Dare|
Wine, the famous non-alcoholic winel
of Virginia. ’
If enough grapes can be obtained of
the present crop 1t is also Gesired to |
ship a car load to a plant now in upm'—l
ation at Aberdeen, N. C., for making
grape juice. If the company should
decide to establish a plant here it will
arrange to plant a large acreage in
scuppernong grapes. |
The general idea here seems to be
that it the scuppernong grape juice
compares favorably with the scupper
nong wine, which was formerly made
in quantities in this part of the state.
it will he a delicious drink, as the fla
~vor and bouquet of the wine was some
} thing long wanted. )
