An Interesting bit of gossip has been heard with reference to the act of Secretary Metcalfe, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, in accepting the invitation to attend the banquet at High Point, which is designed to pro "mote closer trade relation between the United States and Cuba., -A member of . the House is autnortty tor we siaie "Tment that Secretary Metcalfe had sev- eral invitations under advisement when lie was urged by the North Carolinians to attend the High Point banquet. Like the President, cabinet officers are con tlnually receiving invitations of this haracter, and this Is especially true . , cf Secretary Metcalfe, whose Depart ' Inent 18 dlrectlyand Intimate assoclat itd with affairs of the business and in dustrial world. This member of the 1 President' official family has an invi tation to attend a banquet to be given fcy the New York chamber of com - metce, and he could not very well at tend both this affair and the meeting at Hla-h Point, both of which will be takes time, among other things, to pre- nnre inMhp for daltverv at such functions.

The correspondent, who camped closely on his trail, brought the most approved brand of diplomacy to bear In effort to ascertain Mr. Black burn's opinion of the . would-be third termers and kindred subjects, but no one was able to catch the gentleman from- the eighth off his guard. A few facts are self-evident. Following the announcement that Chairman Rollin had conferred with the President Mr. Blackburn turns his face toward Washington and likewise calls at the White House. Subsequently he talked the situation over with Speaker Can non and other Republicans of national - prominence and then boards the train for home with a smile of vast content ment playing over his features. What the performance means is a subject that opens up a wide field for -conjee- lure, inasmuch as the President has aald that he would recognize the or ganlxatlon In North Carolina in all things,' but certainly the situations bodes no good to these officeholders who either openly or covertly opposed Mr.: Blackburn In the last campaign Mr. Blackburn said he would return here ' before a great while, when he would urge the President to stop at some point In his district when he goes south. adams t'XDkit AiwEsr. j ' THE SEVASTOPOL A WRECK cT..i5ir:- SC?10 .5?

In the corridors of the building near Judge Davis' court were a hundred newspaper men and women, keenitiir a constant vigil and picking up here and there the scraps of Information which filtered from no one knew where, concerning Jury, defendant and attorneys. During the evening the lawyers Interested om either side of the case called at the building, but did not remain, having made arrange ments to be called in case an agree ment was reached. Miss Patterson epent the afternoon and evening be tween her cell In the Tombs and what Is known as the "pen,- on the third floor of the court building. Most of the afternoon was spent In the Tombs. As she was led from the' court after the jury retired, she witnessed a mar rlage ceremony between prisoners, and congratulated them. For a moment her face brightened aa though she had forgotten her own troubles, but soon after resumed its look of sad calm. While she waa In the Tombs this af fcernoon she opened numerous tele. grama and letters from relatives and friends, congratulating her upon her defence and expressing the hope and wish that her. freedom was near at hand. One of the messages was from her mother, who baa not been able to attend the trial. It Is said she hoped to nave ner aaugnter nome for Christ mas. EXPECTATIONS DISAPPOINTED. This evening after her dinner she was taken to the "pen," whero she was joined by her father, who has been constant In his support of his daughter since she was first accused of the crime and who has been her faithful ally and companion every day in court, no one else saw Miss Pat terson during the evening, and the fact that she was taken from the Jail to the court indicated that she waa still expectant, notwithstanding that tne jury nan consumed hours in dis cussion without reaching a finding one of her counsel was about the building this evening, but did not see his client. The abiding faith of the young wom an was shown shortly after o'clock to-night, when she expressed the opin ion that the Jury would acquit her. "I almost feel sure I will leave here to-night, for the Jury, I think, will not stay out all nlght." When she aald this her face waa tense with nervousness and In her hand was the missive she had just re ceived from her mother. It read: Dear ance: we look for you to morrow. Father sent word they would set you free and send you to me to-nighi. I dreamed last jilght that you were with us again, and it was Christmas day. Qod grant that the dream comes true. Nance, and that I will soon have my little girl again." At 10 o'clock the crowd of morbid ly interested people about the court house gathered on the White street side of the building, where they could see the little room In which the Jury was sitting. This room is-on the sec ond floor of the structure,, and though the curtains were drawn, .'any move ment made on the Inelde was plalnlv silhouetted. . 1 JURYMEN YELLED AT; Half ofMhose gathered: were women,' and for a time the people were, quteu Finally, ; becoming Impatient, various cries were set up, directed at the Jury men, , and this was continued for a long': time, ..' . .f vv, ' i i The Jury began Its work of conside ration of the evidence about 12:25. At i 2 O'clock the twelve men were escort ed to a Park Row restaurant for lunch ; and an hour afterward again took up the case. At t: 30 o'clock court officers again opened the Jury room, and ths men went to ?trnn The rrcn vre a solemn-looking lot, . and during . the meai i nere was little conversation and fewer amlles. . t waa over, an hour later. - To-day's proceedings consisted of the charge to the Jury by Justice Davis, lasting an hour. He outlined the law. and then sent the lurv awev. The Judge adjourned bis court late in tne afternoon, savin that if a ver diet waa reached before 11 o'clock be would return to the buiidin. Justice Davis In his charge Inform ed tne jury tnat it was not his duty to interpret the evidence which had been placed before them. ' He would Instruct them only as to the rule of the law to the end that they -might arrive at a'coreful and Just conclusion. Referring to the alleged failure of the prosecution to show that Misa Patter son had any motive which might lead her to kill Young, Justice Davis v in structed the Jury that while it Is hot always necessary for the prosecution to prove a motive, it is important In connection with the other facts. "In circumstantial evidence," he aaid "the question of motive often becomes im portant, but U must not b a motive that la Imagined; It must be proved," deferring to the several letters which have appeared In the case, knowledge of. . which was denied by tne defendant, he said that the test! mony of the witness must be care fully weighed. If Miss Patterson waa believed, the letters must be excluded entirely from their consideration; if not. they must be taken at their face value. In thla connection he said the Jury must give careful consideration to the question "whether it Is possi ble that the witness for the prosecu tion may have lied for the purpose of aiding the prosecution or the defen dant. On the other hand, again, you must consider whether the defendant was influenced by any motive to tell an untruth about the tetters." CONCLUSION OF CHARGE. Of the absence of J. Morgan Smith, and his failure to appear In the trial. ne sai a tne jury should take no cog nisance. The defendant was to be judged by her own acts and not by the acta of others. The rule of law regarding missing witnesses did not apply In this case, as it had not been shown that It was within the power of the defendant to produce Smith as a witness. Judge Davis said that if the defendant fired the shot Without premeditation she would be guilty of murder In the second aegree. He then explained that she might be found guilty In the first or second degree of manslaughter, if not of murder, but added that if there was a reasonable doubt of her guilt In any of the de grees of, homicide the jury must acquit her. In the long hour and a quarter oc cupied by the judge's charge to the Jury Miss Patterson bore herself well. The pallor of five months In the Tombs waa touched a clearer white by the strain under which she labored. but only that and the sustained rigor of her attitude betrayed the tension ot her .nerves. Hhe waa gowned In black, the only touches of color be ing a purple enamel pansy, tipped with diamonds, which she wore on tier breast .and, peeping from the black collar of her dress, a narrow white ruchlng. NOTED ENGLISH ACTOR PRES ENT. Once, when Caesar Young's name fell from the Judge's Hps, she quickly placed one black-gloved hand on the table, gave a little start and then with a deep, quivering breath that seemed to expand her whole Slight frame, she fell again Into her wonted fixed and strained position. Sir Charles Wyndham, the English actor, who occupied a seat Inside the rail. was pointed out to her by her father, She stared curiously at the man who stands for so much In that world in which she had once so briefly flutter ed, and once he turned and bent his gaze on her. his big glasses seeming to shine with benevolence ana cheer, When the Judge had concluded his charge and the usual formalities naa been gone through with, a bailiff slip ped to her side. "Where do I go?" she almost whls- nered In a plaintive voice. "Ud stairs," he said' reassuringly, and with quick steps she hastened down the aisle and Into the room where she passed the long moments of waiting. JONES-OSBORNK NUPTIALS.
