After deliberating ten hours without agreement, the Jurw re tired to-night at 11 o'clock to resume their task to-morrow. The defense put in a plea of in sanity mental Irresponsibility such as put the admitted taking of a large sum of money beyond the hand Of the U and introduced medical men to back up their contention. It was the first case of Its especial character ever taking place in this county, and perhaps no other in criminal courts In North Carolina has been com parable to it i,i point of the manner of defense.

Mile Alter a CluMe of 3,000 Mile and Man '-i Been a Prison er or War. Law ion, Okla, Feb. 17. Geronimo, the noted Indian hief, died to-day at Fort mil, where ne had been confined as a prisoner of v ar for a number of years Geronimo died of pneumonia at the hospital at the Fort .sill army post. He will be burled in the Indian cemetery near the fort to-morrow by Christian missionaries, Geronimo having pro fessed religion three years ago. Geronimo was chief of the apaches, was captured with his band st Skele ton Canyon. Ariz., twenty-two years ago, having surrendered to General Nelson A. Miles after a 3, Out) mile chase. It Is a curious coincident that news of Geronimo' death was sent out from Lawton. which was named after tne late Major General Henry f. Lawton. who, as a lientenant In General Miles command. led (he i.OOO-nnle chase that resulted in the Apache chief s surrender. The chase after Geronimo was begun at Omaha In January, 14R5. General Miles, In command of the department of the Missouri, received Instructions to rout the band of Indians headed by Geron- 1110 and kill or capture Its chief. Gen eral Miles began operations by or ganizing an expedition consisting of the Second. Eighth and Ninth Infantry and Fourth. Fifth. Sixth and Elehth avalry. the horsemen being In charge of Lieutenant Lawton. Tne expedi tion waa gotten under way In January, 18S3. but the capture of Geronimo and his hand was not made until near ly two years later Since he has been confined at Fort Sill, Geronimo has made many attempts to gain his liberty. Early In 190 he made a trt pto Washington with some of his followers In an effort to Interest Pres ident Roosevelt 'n his case. The old Indian was unsuccessful, however, and to the last he waa full of bitter hatred for the white iiun. Geronimo wa S4 years old. FOREBODINGS THAT CAME TRUE PANAMA CANAL PROBLEM.

Fate of Two ContcnHi-arie at The Observer's Ha mis Accurately Pre dicted by a Third. Danville Reglstei. Here are some Jabs for the unobservant Charlotte Observer. In case 1' should fall to observe them. The Observer being the observer of all observers when It comes to rushing to the defence of North Caro lina's claims of premiership for every thing on the earth. In the air above or the waters under the earth. The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot has the temerity to sug gest this; "A bona fide citlxen of North Carolina has written a paper In denial that the Mecklenburg Declaration ever had an existence. We reapect his cour age, tut have small opinion of his dis cretion." Perhaps the man was a bone fled or "ossified" citizen Instead, for the very emphasis put upon his alleged North Carolina citizenship Indicates that there Is some doubt He may be after all a Carolinian who came to Norfolk and got "ossified" and did not know what he was saying. The "bonetled" North Carolinian is certainly wrong; the Meck lenlnirg Declaration undoubtedly has an existence In the exuberant fancy of the editor of The Observer. If nowhere else, but even that Is sufficient to entitle It to profound respect. As If this were not enough to enrage our usually placid Charlotte contem porary, our amiable friend, The Greens boro Record, appears to have gotten os sified also, as witness the reckless aban don of this paragraph which appeared In its column a day or two ago: "The at tention of the esteemed Charlotte Ob server Is called to the fact (observe the word) that tho father of Cooper, to be tried at Nashville for killing Carmack. Is a native of North Carolina. He came from Hlllsboro." It will be noted also that while he Is alleged to have been a native of a certain North Carolina town of goud repute he "came from" there and got Into trouble In Tennessee. We cannot resist the temptation to aid our sorely pressed champion of preeedence-i'i-all-thsi-Is-worth-clalmlng. We await with dire forebodings and with eye clos ed the feaef-jl fate of The Vlrglnlan-Pllot and The Re.-ord. so toon te bo annihilat ed by the 'steamed Observer. GOING TO TAKE A TRIP ?
