Special to Tbe Georgian. Haxleburat, Mia*, Dec, 8.—When the blood-stained clothes, worn . by Dr. Thomas Butler when he was shot, were brought Into court yesterday to be Identified by John 8teen, a justice of Hazlehurst, who examined the body of the man after he was shot, Mrs. Bird song, trembling with emotion, turned her head hway and Would not look at them. Later she recovered her com posure and viewed them with seeming unconcern. The case continues to attract to the court room some of the leading per sons of the community and of the state. A sad feature of the trial itns been the presence in court of ths children, both of the young defendant and those of the man she killed. It Is claimed that the action of the women friends of Mrs. Birdsong had quite as much effect In driving her to the verge of emotional Insanity as did the former friends who are alleged to have refused to speak to her when they met her on the street. With surprising rapidity, the prose- utlon completed Its evidence yester day. A day and a half had been occu pied In presenting the state's witnesses. Saw Doctor 8hot. One of the state’s witnesses, Mrs. Nora Garrett, Ilv4d In a house across the street from Dr. Butler. She testi fied that she saw the shooting, both In the office and outside, and that sho heard the physician cry: “Angle, don’t shoot ine any more.” A moment later Dr. Butler exclaim ed: My God! Angle, what will become of you when you die?” The witness said that she herself died to Mrs. Birdsong to stop shoot ing. The defense called as its first wit- ms the defendant’s mother-in-law, ..is, 8. F. Birdsong. The latter testi fied that the defendant, after the birth of her last child, had shown signs of Insanity, and that these symptoms were repeated about the time of tho killing. The mother-in-law said that Mrs. Gar rett, who had testified for the state, called upon Mrs. Birdsong a few days before the tragedy, and that, after this visitor’s departure, Mrs. Birdsong re- itmticed that. If she fount! that Dr. But- r had tohl 111 stories about her, she nuid kill him. Other witnesses told of Mrs. Bird song's attempt at suicide a few days RUSS RULER' AT HORROR APPALLED ,S OF FAMINE Bt.

The House Passes a Bill in the Interest of Free Labor. Washington, Dec. 8.—The house yes terday. by almost unanimous vote, passed the bill limiting the regulation of Interstate • commerce between the several states in articles manufact ured by convict labor or In any prison or reformatory. The bill abrogates the Interstate commerce law, os at present applied to convict made goods, thereby afford ing to the different states and terri tories the right to Inhibit the shipping of convict made goods within the con fines of any state or territory. Mr. Hunt, author of the measure, who Is a practical stone mason, said it was an attempt to curb the criminal competition of the penitentiary with ihe free labor of the country. “It Is cruel,” h- said, “to ask the free labor of this country to maintain its dignity and its self-respect. If It has to wait until the product of the state prison is sold before the employer can get a reasonable price for his honestly manufactured products.” Providing an appropriation of $2,000,- 000, the legislative, executive and ju dicial appropriation bill for 1908 was reported to the house by the approprla< tlons committee, which was made i special order for Monday.

New York, Dec J.—On Information that Japanese spies would attempt to view the fortifications at Sandy Hook by taking advantage of an Invitation extended to the American Society of Engineers to visit the fort, the war de partment at Washington caused seven foreigners to be barred from the stronghold while the rest of the party of <00 made the tour of inspection. Those excluded were a Japanese, three British subjects, two Germans and one Frenchman. They remained In one of the cars In charge of an officer. A short time ago the American So ciety of Engineers with headquar ters at 12 West Thirty-first street In this city, was Invited to Inspect, as pro fesslonal men. the new fortifications that have been erected to protect New York against possible foreign enemies. Military men recognise the fact that the best bit of Information that the spies of the Japanese government could possibly convey to their confederates at Toklo would be the Interior plans of the new fort.
