The Evidence in Regard to the liu'nine of Park's Gin Baled Oat and the Case Shortened Friday Evening and Sat nrday's Proceedings. The Observer has already pub lished the first and part lof the second day's proceedings of the trial of Thomas L. Shields in Iredell court. Below will be found the testimony of the witnesses offered Friday .evening and Saturday. The evidence is given just as' it was recorded and as the witnesses related it, without prejudice to either side: ..' . FRIDAY EVENING. " Counsel for the defense introduced two letters from Jos. Q. Sitton to lollie Shields and the handwriting was identified, one dated March 27, 1883, and the other April 13, 1883. A. C. Shields, the father of the prisoner and Mollie Shields, was then called and sworn. The. witness said: I live in Mecklenburg. My farm is 2 miles from wnere l sept a store June 5 1 883. and at that time I went home two or three times a week. I boarded with my son, Thomas, ana slept m the store. Thomas bought the place in February before the homicide in June. On the morning of the 5th of June, as I was finishing my breakfast Thomas said : "Father, I don't want you to leave," ana ne tnen turned to hia cictor MnlliA dTiH nRlrprl hpr if Jn(Sit,r,nn was coins' to leave. She said, "Yes, I think so." "When will he come back? one answerea that Rh didn't know. "Where is he going?" She didn't know. He then asked her if Sitton wasn tin her room the Wednesday night previous, stat- inc nt. tho cn trio timo that hA knAwnll She confessed that Sitton was in her room on that night, and that he had his way with her. Tom said, "Mol lie. don't you know that you are ruined,"and she said not if Sitton mar ried her. Thomas thenasked if Wed nariav niflht was the onlv. time Sit ton had criminal intercourse with her, and she answered "Yes." Tom told her he had heard Sittou in her rqpm and saw him go out that night. Tom asked her if ho (Sitton) bad se duced her under promise of marriage, and she answered, "Yes." Tom then said "I am going to see Mr. Sitton and I shall ask him to marry you and re-. pair the wrong dorie and if he will nnr. aorpfl tn An en there mav he trcuole." He did not say when he was going to see sitton. i men start ed to the store, and Tom came on after me and asked me .what the hands should do, and whether a cers tain field should be piowea or harrowed. After I had sold some little articles, 1 went out to feed my chickens. Yery soon Tom came down from my son David's house and told me that he had killed Sitton. I asked what did he do that for, and he answered because he had HpHnf.Ari mv Bistp.r He then walked on to the front of the" store and called me and Mr. Abner Alejander,. to i j i.

Did not have any knowledge of the purpose of my son Jl nomas wnen ne weni iu ivm Shields' house on the morning of the homicide. There was no restraint put on my daughter's conduct or associations after she went home that evening. She was allowed to write what she pleased. My son Tom habit am - . I A.

I first told this story last fall to a man named McCall. I now live in Lincoln county ; went there in Octo ber 1882, before Sitton was killed in June, 1883. r r ttahnn cfilled and .sworn: Vnaiv .Tna Ritfm. I was ioking him one day about marrying Miss Mollie Shields. I said David fchields mar ried your sister,-why not you marry bis? He said he didn't want to mar ry any woman,, but he would seduce Mollie Shields if necessary. This conversation took place near the copper mine on the road. Saw Mr. . Sitton frequently with a .pistol; he usually carried one. n -f:'" r i,; Qiff nn had ft nis- tol very often when I - saw ; him. 1 lived a quarter of a mile I rom the mine, but I now live at Odd well s Station In the spring of 1883 1 was at work in Mr. Billy Park's wood shop. 150 yards f rom - Mr. : , Thomas Shields residence. How did Sitton come to say he "wouldn't marry any woman?" I was joking him; I had seen signs of courtship; had seen him talking to Mollie Shields. Repeat what he said. He said : . "He didn't want to marry her, but he would sen duce her d d quiok, if he got a chance." 1 I first told this story to Mr. McElroy. I believe he was the only man) I told it to. I was working for him in a mill race some time af ter Sitton was killed ; suppose it was before Shields was tried, but it was after Sitton was killed. - MonroePlummer.called and sworn: Was working at the Hopewell copper mine, in Mecklenburg county, in the early part of 18S3. Knew Sitton; he was running the hoister he talked to me about going to see Mollie Shields', and wanted me to be a wit ness for him if he was killed in Tom Shields' yard ; that he wasn't there for stealing He said he went there at night, nd that Mollie was the best made girii he ever had his hands on. Sitton vvas never seen without his pistol I often 6aw him shooting with it Saw him shoot five balls into u white oak tree one day, when he said : "That's the way I intend to shoot Toni Shields, if he bothers me." Cross examined This was a month or so before the homicide. Tom Shields and Sitton were seen fre quently and were apparently friend ly. I didn't tell this at the former trial, but first told it to Mr. Wilson, counsel for the defense. Sitton told me Tom Shields would kill him if he ever found hint in his yard. I know John Auten didn't tell him I wanted to make some money out of the Shields trial. Frank Shoemaker called and sworn : Witness had a conversation with Monroe Plummer in regard to the conversation between him and Mr. Sitton. He (Sitton) had told him some time before if he got killed in Tom Shields' yard he wanted me to be a witness for him, that he wasn't there for stealing; that he went there to Bee Mollie Shields. Cross examined I was in Charlotte at the former trial of the prisoner at the bar. 1)idn"t hear Monroe Plum- mer's examination, but told about the same thing on the former trial. (Couit8el for the defense here show ed the witness a little book called the "Sports of; Venus," &c. said to have been given to Mollie Shields bv Sit ton as a catechism, and showed the , book to judge and jury. Counsel for the prosecution objected, but the ob jection was overruled by the judge.) w. u. Alexander called and at firmed : The general character of A. C. Shields is good.

Shields e-ince 1847. .1 Cross examined Never heard Shields charged with false weights and false packing of cotton until the trial of Tom Shields m Charlotte. W. D.

When first saw her she was pacing the floor of the room immediately, below the room where the homicide had been committed. She seemed to be in deep distress, and I asked her if the charge made by Tom Shields was true or false and she said "No, no I it is false." I then said to her that I wanted some other good man to hear the same answer.and Mr. J. Mc Sam pie was called into the room and she made the same reply to him. She i knew me, as I believed, because of her manner. 1 had known her since November, 1879. She had been a pupil of mine at Hopewell academy. supposed she was in her right mmd.

Mr. Gray asked Mollie Shields to make the same acknowledgement in regard to the charge of seduction to me that she bad done to him, and she said the charge was false. She knew me. because she took me by the hand and called me by name. I thought she was rational and still think so. She was sitting in tears.-1 got there about half an hour after I heard of the occurrence, near 8 o'clock.

St. Louis Republican. (Dem.) El Mahdi's movement is a Soudan ese revolt against one of the most des picable governments on the earth a government which wrings from its wretched sub.iects one-half the fruits of their labor to support a profligate court and pay the interest on a for eign debt a government whose op pressions and exactions the British people themselves would not endure from one sunrise to another. Gen. Gordon has been slain or captured in the attempt to suppress this remote revolt in the heart of Africa, and a mismanaged expedition, sent to his relief, is in danger of sharing . his fate. - The angry roar in London for vindication of the honor of the country" is, therefore, nothing more nor less than a demand for the blood of an unoffending people as a compen sation for British blundering, and a tribute to British greed. Aa Improvement in Telephoning. A young Bostonian has" invented an improvement which promises to be of permanent service in the tele phone business. It consists of a small telephone attached to two 'steel bands forming a segment of a circle. By means of a set screw the shape and length of these bands can be altered and made to fit the operator's head, one band passing'over the top of the head and the other around the back. The telephone is by this means held continually to the ear. The connec tions to the una wire is made, by a flexible wire cord, and the telephone and attachments weigh but eight oun ces. By using this arrangement the operator on telephone exchanges is free to use both hands and sit in a ny position, a great improvement over the old style, where the telephone was attached to an upright standard on the operator's desk.
