FRIDAY/EVENING OC X OBEP 86' 1895 POSTPONED The Hearing For a N w Trial For The Husband Murderer MRS. NOBLES. Her SanityTo Her Questioned. Her Attorney is Said To Have Considerable Evi dence on The Ques tion. Macon, Ga., Oct. 26. —Mr. Mar ion Harris learned today that the hearing of the Nobles case has been postponed until the 3 Ist in stant on account of Judge Smith s absence in Washington. The hear ing will come off at Mount Vernon and will be on Attorney Harris’s extraordinary motion for a new trial, which, when it was first made before Judge Smith at Clin ton on the 14th instant was taken cognizance of and the execution of the court’s senteice cf death staid until the motion could be heard at more length. When Mr . Harris presents his final argument on the motion he will adduce some testimony that will be hard to evade by the states counsel. He will go down to Mount Vernon armed with affi davits of Mrs. Noble’s insanity that came from people who have known her all their lives and on oath say that she has never been of sound mind and is an irresponsi ble person, unable to judge the right from the wrong. The most important of the affi davits will be that of Mrs. Nancy Landfair, of Pulaski county, who will swear that insanity has dwelt in the Nobles family for genera tions back; that her father, her two sisters, her aunt and uncle all died insane, the most of them in the niae house. She claims to have known Mrs. Nobles intimately for fifty years and that she has al ways been of unsound mind and so considered in her neigborhood. Other affidavits cf a similar kind will be presented, signed by W. H. Stokes, B. B. Dykes, William fccorborough, A. A Griggs and other old citizens of Pulaski coun ty, all of which have been filed in i Twiggs county superior court. *J. S.
