THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, AUGUST 2, 1906. 2 THE CASE AGAINST IF!, W, S, DAVIDSON Physician Summoned to Explain a Prescription was Discharged. The Physician and the Recor der Engaged in 3ome Right Warm Words During Trial. The most interesting case in the Recorder's court this morning was the preliminary hearing of the case en titled "The State vs. Dr. V. S. David son." charged with violating the Watts law. , Dr. Davidson became considerably aroused at one point in the trial be cause the court called John Ayers up for a private conversation, whereupon counsel for the defendant, and the de fendant himself, raised objection to the private examination of a witness. The Recorder replied that he was merely having a private conversation, and counsel was satisfied, but Dr. Davidson still objected. "You are not representing the State except as judge" said Dr. Davidson. "But I am running this court" replied the Recorder. "I think you ought to allow me to know what is being said you havej heard only one side." said Dr. David son. The Recorder then told the defend ant that he should be heard through his counsel only, and asked who was to be considered spokesman. Mr. McMich ael, counsel for the defendant, replied, "We will let matters stand as they are." This was after the court had an nounced that the defendant would be bound over. Dr. Davidson then raised objection, saying that the court had not heard but one side, and the Recorder said, "Doctor, I will have to ask you to keep quiet." The little digression caused every ear to be strained for the next word, and for a moment it looked like there jnight be something more serious hap pening. Finally the skies cleared up and matters were adjusted, the court, after adjournment deciding to dismiss the case entirely. The Recorder ex pressed the opinion that a jury would scarce find a man guilty under the evidence, and he did not want to put the county to the expense of the trial. During the hearing the defendant seem ed to be under the impression that he was not being treated right, and this was the cause of the words that he uttered. The court remained cool throughout the cross fire, and there was a sigh of relief when the very hot discussion subsided. As to the evidence brought out today, it was practically the same as that in yesterday's News. John Ayers and J. M. Wrenn told the same" stories that they had related before the court The evidence of the two in substance was that Ayers had carried Wrenn to the physician's office for the prescrip tion, saying that he would pay for it, and that the prescription was given by Dr. Davidson after carefully examining the patient, Mr. Wrenn, who said that he was unwell.

Miss Sloan's hopeless condition was fully realized yesterday and came as a surprise to many who were not aware that she was critically ill. Al though she had not been in good health for some time, yet it was just about one week ago when she became real ly alarmingly ill, and from that, time until the end came those about her bedside were fearing the worst. Miss Sloan died at the home of Mrs. Feriba Chapman, her niece, at No. 215 Mint street, where she was taken ill. She was in her 84th year. She was a daughter of the, late Col. John Sloan and is survived only by her nieces, Mrs. Chas. Moody and Mrs. W. R. Chapman. .. The deceased has been a consist ent member of the First Presbyterian church for many years, and has always evinced the greatest interest in all things that pertained to the welfare of the church she loved. Miss Sloan was well known in Charlotte, and has many friends throughout the city who will be greatly pained to learn of her death. The interment was in Elmwood. Funeral of Mr. Short. Mr. W. F.

The wreck occurred near a creek, consequently there were at least six box cars which fell into V the' water. The track was torn up for a .number of feet. Wrecks on this line .are common oc currences, but fortunately no one has ever been seriously, injured. Howev er, it would be for the best, if the officials would spend some money for fixing the road, than, perhaps, paying for some one's life. YOUNG MAN GETS FORTUNE. A HUGE INSURANCE CO.
