ADOPTED AT SMOKED
The South Carolina Society, at Ita
smoker Monday night, adopted res
olutions of regret at the illness of
Judge Dogait E. Bleckley, who is one of
the most distinguished sons of the Pal
metto State. The resolution*, which

If the Inhabitants of the moon had
been In the criminal branch of the su
perior court Tuesday morning they
might have resented the rigid exami
nation to which their luminary was
subjected by the defense In the cases of
Marlon Peters, Jim Peters, George
Dewts and Wiley Brooks, all negroes,
charged with the murder of County
Policeman J. I,. Heard.
J. B. Marbury, United States "weath
er bureau !han," ohe of the star wit
nesses for the defense, went through
statistics which he had gathered to
show Just how full tho moon was on
the night of the killing and how many
clouds obscured the aky. In making
his conclusions, the attorneys for the
defense brought him an almanac. This
almanac will probably be placed among
the evidence which will go to the Jury
In the case.
Mr. Marbury was questioned by the
defense as to a person's ability to Iden
tify people by moonlight.
"I experimented with my wife /on
Just that point,” said Mr. Marbury.
"The moon was three-quarters full
when I made the experiment. My wife
was 50 feet away and could not iden
tify me.”
In Colonel Hill's cross-examination,
the court room was kept In a roar of
laughter.
A False Prophet.
“You prophesied, did you not," said
Colonel Hill, “that yesterday was go
ing to be a fine day? And it rained.”
Mr. Marbury denied making the
prophesy, which was published In one
of tho papers. On a question from
Colonel Hill, he admitted that his pre
dictions were not Infallible.
One of the witnesses for the defense.
, C. Eubank, county policeman, con
tradicted part of the state’s evidence
He said that on the night of the shoot
ing he and Policeman Heard were the
only officers close to Ihe negroes when
the loiter fired. The state claims a
number of officer* weie there. The
case as 111 probably occupy all of Tues
day and Wednesaay.
