WHEN SI BEHELD
ALLEGED SLAYER
Cries “You Killed My
Daughter!” in Court
Room.
Bristol, Tenn.. Sept. M.—The defense
In the case of Ack Hale, charged with
the murder of Lillie Davis, on trial
In the circuit court at Blountsvllle, be-
gan the Introduction of witnesses this
morning. Most all of the witnesses
summoned for the defense are women.
It Is not thought their testimony will
b" strong enough to break the chain of
circumstantial evidence brought by the
prosecution yesterday.
The session of the trial yesterday
came to a dramatic climax, when
Mrs. J. W. Davis, mother of the dead
girl, as a witness for the prosecution,
arose, and. pointing a Unger of scorn
at the prisoner, who eat pale and wan,
shouted:
"You scoundrel, you killed my child,
and you know I know you did!"
At this she collapsed and was car
ried from the court room.
John Bruner testlfled that he saw
Hale hold the girl and pour whisky
down her throat shortly before she was
found dying.
Several witnesses told of having seen
Hate abuse and whip the girl shortly
before her death, and some little chil
dren saw him practically force her Into
the cemetery, where Hale says she
committed suicide with his pistol.
There was no eye-witness to the
shooting.
Mi M. Floyd, who was tlrst to reach
the dying girl, stated that she was un
conscious when he arrived and made
no coherent statement. This came as
a blow to' the defense.
Dr. \Y. R. Rogers nnd Dr. W. C.
BoohCr gave expert testimony.
Hale was Indicted on two chargee-
criminal assault and murder—and Is
now being tried on the latter.

IS CONCLUDED
NO EXTRA SESSION
If Decides To Call One Will
Be During the Win
ter Season.
There will be nb extra session of the
Georgia legislature called In thp lm
mediate future.
This announcement was made by
Governor Smith Thursday morning, and
although the governor did not commit
himself on either side of the question,
he stated that If he called an extra
session It would Mot be before winter,
and left It open to Inference that an
extra session may be among the remote
possibilities.
With the agricultural school at
Athens provided for and about 16,000
each for the maintenance ol
branches, there Is no necessity for an
extra session at this time,” said GoV
ernor Smith; , "If I should decide to
call'the legislature together It wilt not
be In the near future."
One of the main propositions which
made an extra session seem almost lm
peratlve was provision for the support
of the agricultural schools of the state,
the legislature having adjourned with
out taking any action In the matter.
This proposition was disposed of
Wednesday, when the board of true
tees of the Bute University and of the
agricultural school at Athens got to.

this purpose on their own account. Tha
sum of 28.000 for each of the agricul

DEEDED BUSINESS
TO HIS EMPLOYEES
New York, Sept. 26.—To keep bis
business out of the clutches of the
typewriter trust, James Bartlett Ham
mond deeded his typewriter factory to
his employees, that the business might
be perpetuated In his name. This fact
was brought out In the testimony e*
Clinton M. Price, treasurer of the Un
ion Theological Seminary, before the
commission Investigating the condition
of the aged Inventor’s mind, ,
An old Pennsylvania railroad ern
glne, which was being dead-headod
nto Atlanta by a Louisville and Naeh-
vflle freight train over ths Western and
Atlantic road Thursday morning,
bounced the rails near Campbells
Crossing, between Smyrnn and Vlnlnga
Station, and tore up orosstles, bolts and
other railroad property for the dis
tance of about two miles before the ac
cident was discovered.
Trnfflo was delayed on the lino about
three hours, the southbound passenger,
due at 10:46, arriving at about 12:60
o’clock Thursday afternoon,
nearly two miles before tha fact was
discovered that It was off the rails, It
did not turn over, but stuck to the
crossties nnd was little the worse tor
wear, with the exception of a severe
shaking up. It was held to Its place
by the heavily loaded freight oars In
Its front and rear, which prevented
what might have resulted in a very
serious accident.
J ’lic engine was placed back on ths
la
nnd the damage was repaired with
little difficulty.

Wonderful Performance of

Those who havo never witnessed the
performance of the Carl Hagenbeck
trained wild beasts can hardly realise
what lions, tigers, leopards, wild cats,
polar bears, elephants and the like
have been taught to do.
It hardly seems possible to teach a
Hon to ride on the' back of a horse and
jump through hoops of lire and on
pedestals, but that Is what has been
done.
It hardly seems possible for polar
bears to piny at see-saw, eat at the

drunkenness and wrestle with their
