WEST COMPANY DECLARES
WILL SOON SIGN PAPERS
Mayor Receives Telegram ! Stating
That West Company -Will Be Ready
to Sign Contracts in a Few Days
Time. . " ,
Mayor Charles A. Bland has ' re
ceived a telegram from West Paving
& Constructor Co. of Chattanooga,
stating that the company will " be
ready to sign their extensive paving
contract with the city of Charlotte
Within a few days. i- - 7i ; ..
, It is believed locally that the com
pany is awaiting the outcome of the
investigation of their work here by
the expert from Washington, Mr. Pre
vost Hubbard, who a few days ago
inspected the newly-laid paving and
carried samples to Washington with
him for chemical analysis. It is n
believed that the expert will mak
any startling findings, but rather that
he will find the local work of a high
grade and well up to the average. In
fact it is considered by officials, that
Mr. Hubbard had practically made his
report, verbally, on the construction
work; it only remaining to hear from
him as to the chemical constitution
of the paving material.
With' the signing of the contract
with the " West Comtanv now nmm.
ising to be out of the way in a short
time another obstacle to - the begin
ning of paving operations will have
been successfully removed.

which,- they, secured from some un

Both Sipple and the negroes were sur

to his face and pulled the trigger. The
rifle was loaded with buckshot, but
fortunately for Sipple it snapped. Had

BLACKVELL CASE STILL
BEING PROSECUTED,
BEFORE JURY- .
- For the past two days the tlrne of
the criminal term," of the Superior
Court -v has been taken up "with t
most important case "on the docket,
that of Claude Blackwell of .Lancas
ter who ia charged with the murder
of Dri : Fred Misenheimer " in ' a room
of the ; Buford - Hotel last May.
There" Is a formidable, array of coun
cil on both sides of the" case. The
State is assisted , by ; Mr. .E. J. Cans
ler and ex-Solicitor Heriot Clarkson
of the flrm:of Clarkson & Duls. The
defendants represented by Judge F.
I.' Osborne, N. A. Cocke, Henry Mil
ler, Roach Stewart and the firm of
Caudle & Delaney. - . v
.Yesterday afternoon the .defend
ant., was the principal -witness .in ' his
own behalf,'; taking the stand and re
maining there " for some time before
he was allowed,: to retire. Chief
Christenbury, Dr. C. A. Misenheimer,
father of the - dead man, and - Dr.
John R.. Irwin, were, the .-witnesses
the State placed oh the- stand yes
terday. Mr. Cansler put the defend
ant through a grueling cross exami
nation. The man held to his origi
nal story in the main part, but by
the - ; relentless- qutstioning. of . Mr.
Cansler, , there appeared weak . parts
mat were : Drought out. After fight
ing hard against the , defendant, Mr.
Cansler forced Blackwell to admit
what is considered the most damag
ing testimony of the whole day. -The
man admitted that during the "horse
play" that was - taking . place, he be
came mad, ut did not become an
gered until the latter part, when "To
tell you the truth, I had taken all I
was going to take,", was the state
ment that he - made. This . was con
sidered . the most incriminating ... tes
timony that was .secured. 5 - '
The longest argued point of the
day arose when ' the prosecution en
deavored to have admitted the state
ment made by. Dr. Misenheimer when
he was said to have been dying.
Judge Osborne . strenuously objected
to thfa point, stating that the words
of the dead man were such that he
could not have realized the solemni
ty of death. Judge Webb rilled - with
the defense and barred the state
ment, stating that in his opinion the
statement was not made - as a ; "dying
declaration," and was therefore in
competent as testimony. The. state
meht was made to the; dying. manvs
father. -. . . .; .
Chief i Christenbury : was the first
witness to take the stand. He told
of the condition in which he found
the room, when he .answered the call
that there was a serious fight .In. the
Buford Hotel., . The room was in dis
order, the crockery and furniture
were broken. There was blood found
on ;the floor and ' walls; . The -chief
found W. M. Langley and C. B. Skip
per in the room, ; Dr. - Misenheimer
had been taken out before his arrival.
A search for Blackwell was fruitless,
and it was 9 o'clock that V night be
fbre his whereabout were discovered;
Chief Christenbury went to TLaneaa
terj the home 1 of the .- man, ' -and
brought him back. Blackwell - told
the chief the story of -the fight and
that he had stabbed. ' him with a
small knife when he ' attempted to
hit him . over the head with the
stick: ' .j;.-'--"-
' Dr. Misenheimer. the father of' the
deceased, was the next witness! He
told of how he had rushed to ' ' the
hotel at once upon the receipt of the
message saying -that his , son was
hurt. He found him . in a serious
condition and rushed the wounded
man to the Presbyterian Hospital,
where an examination disclosed a
knife wound between the second .and
third ribs. The wound was about
two inches long and had Severed sev
eral arteries and hadi penetrated the
cartilege of the breast bone. lie was
of the opinion that the wound was a
serious one at the -time. His " son
steadily , grew; worse, and ir.emalned
unconscious until twp. - days before
his death. It was then that he made
the statement to his father; - -
- Dr. Jphn R. Irwin, who attended
the . deceased. - was. put an the stand
to corrobcrate the statement '. made
by Dr. Misenheimer when he said
that the wound was ; inflicted with - a
heavier and larger , Instrument , than
a pocket knife. Dr.. Irwin was of the
opinion that " the knife exhibited in
court and claimed by. the defense as
the one that 'the stabbing was done
with, could not .have inflicted the
wound received. ' v '
Blackwell was the next witness in
troduced, and told' of how the men
had been in the - room for several
hours and had joked and carried on
the rough play." " The defendant was
put through a cross examination and
every detail was brought , out that
could be reached. - " '
There were several friends ' from
Lancaster-who ' were here to " show
that I Blackwell had told the same
story.1 in his home town when he first
came home after the "fight; how he
had run off ; home '; because . he " was
short of money, and not because he
was endeavoring to evade the law.
One of the witnesses got mixed up
on the point eff the fact that Black
well ( had.; told him he had a pistol in
his I pocket ; ail; the time '. and could
have shot Misenheimer.l C. N. Sapps
and Cf nstable John L. Caskay ' of
Lancaster. . were . introduced . -fprthe
purpose of corroborating .-the state
ments made by. the defendant. -.-; .
Today's Evidence. ' ; r
: W. M. Langley, one of the. men. in
the room at the time the tragedy oc
curred, was placed on the stand to
day." From his evidence,- it appeared
that all of the' men. in the. room were
indulging in rough play, ' and that
they were not 'fighting all of the
tirhe. He stated ' - that he : had - re
ceived a lick on' the nose was In the
lavatory at the - time he was washing
his face: He ; heard some licks : pass
ed and came into the room just ..- as
Dr. .Misenheimer staggered oVer to
him' and stated that he had been cut.
He did not see; the fight. ' "r ;r
Dr. Myers Q. Hunter was placed
on the stand by the defense 'and tes
tified that the wound inflicted could
have been made with - the knife : pre
sented as evidence. . He stated :' that
the wound could ; have been inflicted
with it if the man had stabbed the
deceased and then turned' the blade
of the knife and -jerked it.
; Dri Parks; M. King was next ' placed
on , the a stan d and corroborated the
evidence of. Dr. Hunter ' -by stating-"
that iri his opinion the wound : could
have1 been inflicted . with the "same
knife it, was claimed to have' "been
done, with. The opinion ;of these;two
doctors; in the f ace . cf rthe;opposite
testimony offered' by ;' the preceding
physicians will naturally call; for. a
strong; argument; on both, sides. " ; -
Offlcer;,Tarltpn, one of tlje' arresting
officers that answered the, calF was
placed, on the stand at noon, - Z -.
iThe case will probably ;be i .finished
today. ? Judge - Webb excused- all wit
nesses , in ! the j other ? cases . scheduled

JUROR IS STRICKEN AND :
: v NO VERDICT PROBABLE
Judge Webb Sends Jurymen Back to
Continue Deliberations Affer They
Report That They Couldn't Agreee
in- Bailey Homicide ; Case. ?
On account of the illness of W P.
Puck ett, one of the jurors in the case
of W. H. Bailey,-, charged with the
murder of J. H. Davis on the morn
ing of. July. Sl Jast, the Jury in the I
case Is still hung The judge nnisnea
his charge and gave . the case to the
jury yes:e-rday morning at 11 o'clock,
and they have been pondering the
evidence since in their rooms . at the
Buford , Hotel.
The first intimation as to how the
jury stood was last evening when the
jury reported to Judge- Webb that
they could not agree as to the man's
guilt; -Ten stood for acquittal and two
were for .punishment, believing that
the man was guilty. ,It was : not
learned what degree the two stood
for. Judge Webb told the men that
the case was." an; Important 1 one, and
that It was carried on at a great, ex
pense : to the county and it would be
taking up considerable time to have
another- -hearing- of ' the affair. He
then ordered them to go back to their
rooms and try to reach an agreement
this ! morning. ' - f:
Juror- Puckett. was indisposed yes
terday; afternoon, and. last night he'
started to-rise and. fell to - the floor
fainting1. ", Dr. J. P. Monroe was called
jn and pronounced : that the juror was
suffering from nervous indigestion,
tt was stated, that the. Jury was to re
port to Judge Webb again this morn
ling that they could . not agree, but
that Mr. ' Puckett was too ill to leave
his bed. The - doctor stated , that he
thought the, man . would be all right
in" a short time. As soon' as Mr.
Puckett is able to . leave his "room,, the
jury will probably report 'at the
court- house that they have' again 'dis
agreed, and - will in- all probability be
dismissed.- ; . "r ' ;' "
