i’iLK ATLANTA GEOKliJLAJN AJSU JNEVV&. 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.

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. gether and decided to raise 220,000 for this purpose on their own account. Tha sum of 28.000 for each of the agricul tural schools will be derived from the fees of guano and food Inspection.
