GIRL’S TESTIMONY
IS NOT ATTACKED
Miss Loving’s Former Chum
Not Allowed to Testify
in Rebuttal Evi
dence.
Houston, Va., June 27— Beautiful
Elizabeth Loving’s second ordeal came
today when the prosecution started out
to prove that the remarkable sacrifice
she made of her honor to save her fa
ther from the death penalty was false.
Through Miss Loving’s closest girl
chum. Mils Kidd, the state said it
would prove that she had not been at
tacked by Theodore Estes, the young
man her father shot down, but that
she was simply intoxicated by one
drink of liquor and had confided that
such was the case to Miss JCidd.
Miss Loving went to the Kidd home
after the carriage drive and there ex
plained to her chum that the one drink
had been too much for her and went to
bed. Had Estes attacked her it is cer
tain, according to the theory of the
prosecution, she would have told her
closest friend, to whom she went, in
preference to her own house.
It is generally believed in this coun
ty that ex-Judge Loving will* be ,ac-.
quitted \ on»the “unwritten* law
He
believed his daughter had been attack
ed when he shot Estes.
Evidence Not Allowed,
In delivering his opinion with tegard
tt» the admission of testimony tending
to disprove the assertions of Miss Lov
ing with regard to the event occurring
on her drive with Estes, Judge Barks
dale said:
"To admit such evidence would be
unnatural and unjust. To maintain
that the prisoner, while In the heat of
passion, should have stopped to inves
tigate the facts would be depriving him
of the tight to plead 'hot blood,' and
would raise the crime from manslaugh
ter to murder in the first degree."
Following the opinion of Judge
Barksdale, the prosecution put upon
the stand Mr. McGinnis, who ,wns at
"Oak Ridge” at the time of the shoot
ing. The witness was closely ques
tioned concerning the physical condi
tion of the prisoner Immediately after
the shooting und testified that the only
difference he noticed in Judge Loving
was that his face was "extremely red—
redder than I have ever seen It, even
when he was drunk.”
Never 8sw Loving Drink,
It will be recalled that witnesses for
the defense have testified that Judge
Loving’s face immediately after the
tragedy was very pale.
The witness said he drove back to
Lovlngston with the prisoner, and that
their conversation was entirely ration
al. It now becomes apparent that the
prosecution Intends trying to prove the
sanity of Judge Loving at the time of
the shooting.
That he had been Intimate
Judge Loving for many years and had
never seen him take a drink, was the
startling testimony of E. L. Kidd, clerk
of Nelson county court, and father of
the young lady whose testimony was
not allowed to be Introduced.
Mr. Kidd was asked:
"Have you known Judge Loving
l"ng?”
‘ Yes, for several years.”
"Do you know whether he ever
drank or not?”
"Do you mean to my own knowl
♦•dge?” asked the witness.
"Yes,” replied Mr. Houldln.
"Well, during all the time I havt
known him I have never seen him take
a drink; so, of course, I can not say
of my own knowledge that he ever
drank.”
The witness further testified that the
prisoner had made an excellent Judge,
was a fine huntsman and capably ad
ministered the affairs of the Ryan es
tate.
Dr. Charles L. Emmons, a brain
specialist of Washington, D. C., testi
fied that whisky caused a large per
centage of the cases of Insanity. A
hypothetical question, going over the
life of Judge Loving, his dissipations,
his trip to an Institution for Inebriates
and h'ls various troubles, the Informa
tion given him by his brother-in-law,
and his daughter's story was presented
to Dr. Emmons, and his opinion was
asked as to the status of a man who
his examination was made, his lan
guage being mostly technical.
The witness was asked If Insanity
from alcohotlc excesses was not per
manent. His reply was that if de
ranged from excessive drinking ex
clusively this was true.
"Did you find Judge Loving an Insane
man when you examined him?” was
asked Witness Emmons.
"I found his mind diseased, and such
that It would give way under great
stress," he replied.
"Doctor, you hove been here several
days, and have seen Judge Loving. Is
ho Insane now?”
"I do not know'." He explained by

Davis Failed to Back
Up Former Decla
rations.
Boise, Idaho, June 27.—In the Hay
wood murder trial today there was a
sharp revival of Interest, so fur as the
spectators were concerned, when court
opened.
The defense got one or two hard
knocks when the star witnesses failed
to back up declarations they had mnde
to break down Hurry Orchard’s evi
dence, and \V. II. Davis, "Big BUI,'' as
they call the former president of the
Altman Union No. 19, at Cripple Creek,
was again to be asked to refresh his
memory under Senator Borah's ques
tioning.
Orchard accused this Davis of hir
ing him to blow up the Vindicator
mine in 1903. Henator Borah is an ex
pert on that matter, having prosecuted
Phil Corcoran for the murder of a
man killed at that time.
Up to the.close of yesterday's work
In the Haywood case the grilling that
Borah gave Davis on cross-examina
tion showed no let-up. and there was
every' Indication thut the grilling today
would be even worse than that of yes
terday.

Representative R. N. Hardeman, of
Jefferson county, has prepared and will
Introduce, probably this week, a reso
lution calling for the most searching
Investigation Into the ownership and
operation of the Central of Georgia
railroad.
Representative Hardeman's resolu
tion Is based upon the long alleged
ownership of the Central by the South
ern railway, and If the Investigation
should reveal such actual conditions,
It would forfeit the charter of the
Central of Georgia.
Events are happening so swiftly
these dnys that a feeling of unrest ex
ists In certain railroad circles. Many
believe thnt the rumors of tha sals of
the Central to parties named as Mars-
den J. Perry, of Providence, and Oak-
lelgh Thorne, of New York, la but an
effort on the part of the real owners to
step from under before the lightning
■trikes.
If the New York report Is to bo ac
credited. Perry and Thorne have come
Into possession of property valued at
840;000,000, and thht they will operate It
Iq tbs future absolutely ns an Inde
pendent system. Not a few believe
thnt It Is simply on evasive move on
the part or ths real owners to head off
trouble.
At any rate, Representative Haade-
man's resolution has as its purpose the
naming of a committee that will go to
the bottom of things nnd bring forth
the facts—If It Is possible.
