MIRS ALLLSON KKIGHTKNTTD. Btateavlllc Young Ixuly Finds Nero In House WImvo He Porem't Be longs In Fleeing She) Falls and Is Itadly Cut and Rruised. Special to The Obperver. Statesvllle, Feb. 18. Miss Lizzie Allison, a popular and prominent young lady, was badly frightened by a negro early Tuesday evening at the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Allison, on Davie avenue, and as a result of the scare her left hand Is badly out and her wrist sprained. Miss Allison fell while fleeing from the negro and her hand was cut by the breaking of a lamp which she held at the time. The negro made no attempt to place his hands on her and It Is not probable tint he was on the premises with any evil purpose In view. Miss Allison and her mother were at home alone up to a few minutes af ter 7 o'oiock, when Mr. John A. Park er called. About 7:30 o'clock Miss Allison went to the servant's house In the back yard on an errand. The servant's house had not been occu pied for about eight days, but dur ing the afternoon a fire had teen kindled In the house to heat some Irons and the only light In the house was that from the coals In the fire place. Therefore Miss Allison took with her a lamp and a match, ex pectinK to light the lamp as soon as she entered the house, which is only a few feet from the back porch of the residence. When Miss Allison opened the door of the servant's house and before she could strike the match, a negro who was In the room spoke to her. Knowing that the house had not been occupied for mone than a week and that no one had a right to be there, Miss Allison feared that some ono was about to take ad vantage of her. and Bcreamlng jfor help she rushed back to the hoflse. As she started ot ascend the back steps she fell and the lamp In her hand struck the floor and was shat tered, her hand being badly cut by the broken glass and her wrist sprained by the fall. On hearing Miss Allison's screams Mia. Allison and Mr. Parker rushed to the back of the house, and Mr. Parker made a thorough search of the premises, but of course the ne gro had departed. Tracks were found leading to and from the house, and beside the door was found a heavy stick which he had left there. Who the negro was Is yet to be ascertain ed. FIRE AT ROCKY MOtTYT.

"How many shells does an automatic revolver hold?" "Nine eight in the clip or maga zine and one Irj the chamber." On re-dlrect examination the officer said he picked up an empty shell near the scene of the shooting. Where he picked It up was several feet behind where Senator Carmack stood when the firing began. ROBIN COOPER'S WOUNDS. Dr. R. E. Fort, to whose infirmary, near the scene of the trageJy, tbo two Coopers walked after the shoot ing, detailed how the defendants came to him. "Robin Cooper had a pistol wound In the right shoulder Just above the collarbone," said the witness. "I dieted the wound. There was no point of exit and I assume that the bullet is still in the young man's shoulder. "When I started to dress the wound Robin asked for tobacco and cigar ette papers. 1 got them out of his pocket and found In his overcoat an automatic revolver. A bullet had jassed through the left sleeve of his overcoat but had not touched his per son " "Did you hear Colonel Cooper use the telephone?" md I hear what he aaid." "To his daughter, Mrs. Bureh. He said: Daughter, It Is all over. Robin hug killed Carmack. Hnbin Is shot.' "I told htm to tell Mrs. Burch that Robin was not badly hurt and had to repeat K twice." "Was Robin Cooper near enough to hear this?" "He was." COOPER'S DAUGHTER WEEPS. During Dr. Fort's recital of his Incident, Mrs. Buch's eyes filled and sho began to cry softly to herself, shWIdlng her eyes; with her gloved hand. On cross-examination Dr. Fort said he did nbt hear Colonel Cooper say: "I do not want any one to rome in this room except the officers. I Jo not want to kill another man." He thought the remark might have been made and might have been called forth by the Intense excitement and the crowd that was growing outside. When proceedings were resumed af ter luncheon Judge Hart announced that there must be no further demon strations in the Ipurt room. G. F. Cole, of the Baptist Publish ing Company, was the next witness. Ha testified that he visited the scene of the killing the day after It hap pened and that there were two tele phone poles wjthln a foot of each other. A day or two after the shoot ing one of these poles was chopped down. Cole swore that there were two bullet holes lp this poet, fired evi dently from the northwest, or from thd direction In which Colonel Cooper stood. He attempted to estimate the distance at about 8 or 10 feet. The wltress was badly confused on cross examination and could not tell how he fixed the distance. Finally Cole blurted out: "Well, I heard that other witnesses testified that Colonel Cooper stood abcut 8 or 10 feet away from the pole." Judge Anderson also confused the witness as to the direction of the bul lets and the height of the marks on the poles and then attacked his ability to tell the calibre of a bullet hole. The witness said one ballet buried it sei' In the pole while the other mere ly notched It, and that both were made by the same calibre bullet. He cculd not explain how he reached this: conclusion when one was a perfor ated hole and the other simply a ridge. The defense displayed much energy In cross-examining this wit ness.

Then, standing in his place in si lence for a few seconds, he looked In tently towards the Senator from Penn sylvania Framing his words with great deliberation he continued: "Against his coarse and vulgar as sault I put my record since I have been a member of this body." Then looking about the chamber, Mr. LaFollette continued: "You can take ro course which will deter me from exercising my right upon this floor to express my views upon legislation and upon the orderly conduvt of the business of this body. If you were better acquainted with me you would know that." Mr. LaFollette took his seat and Mr. Penrose referred to the next amendment in the postoffice bill, Mr. LaFollette at almost the same time addressing Vice President Fairbanks to make an Inquiry concerning the amen dment. "Mr. President. Mr. President," call e dthe Senator from Pennsylvania. In a loud voice. For a moment the Senators from Pennsylvania and Wis consin and the Vfce President were all talking at the same time. Finally Mr Penrose's voice was heard declar ing that he believed he had the floor. "The chair." raid the Vice Presi dent, calmly. "Is undertaking to an swer a very proper Inquiry by the Senator from Wisconsin." "I did not understand," said Mr. Penrose. "I thought I had the floor and no ono had a right to Interrupt me without my consent " The Senate then lapsed Into the or dinary business if hearing additional amendments of the bill read.

HANCOCK Gl IITY, HAYS JVRY. Jurors Deliberate Tnenty-seveu Hour Before Reaching a Verdict Five Years In Penitentiary the Sentence Given l$y Judge Webb. Special to The Observer. Wlnston-Salcm, Feb. IS. After de liberating fl for about twenty-seven hours, the Jury In the case of O. Hancock, charged with embezzlement, returned a verdict of guilty this after noon at a quarter till 4 o'clock. After Messrs. C. li. Watson and J. C. Buxton, counsel for the defendant, made short arguments expressing surprise at the verdict, Judge Webb sentenced the de fendant to fie years in the peniten tiary. The verdict was given In rather unusual form. It read: - "We return a verdict of guilty. Wo ask the mercy of the court for the reason thut some of the Jurors have some doubt as to the sanity of the defendant." There was a stir, but no disorder in court when Judgment was pronounced, The young wife of the defendant burst Into sobbing, and the aged mother seemed on the verge of collapse. The defendant himself bore the ordeal with as much composure as could have been expected. He betrayed no particular emotion. He was not com pelled to stand to face the verdict. After the preliminaries of notice of appeal, and renewal of bond, Hancock, his wife and mother walked out of the court room to their home. Mr. Watson In his speech to Judge Webb said the verdict was a shock to him. He had no idea that the Jury would fall to find that the defendant was mentally Irresponsible for his acts. He added that during the progress of the trial he had had many persons come to him voluntarily and sny that he Is insane. Mr. Buxton said. "If you send this man to prison I am confident that the authorities there will be convinced that he Ls Insane." Judge Webb expressed Ills com miseration for the defendant, but said that as an intelligent Jury ha4 passed upon the case, he had no re course but to sentence the defendant. He added that If he was proven in sane he might be pardoned later. There has been the keenest Interest in the case and there great division otoplblon as to the extent of the pris ofier'al mental condition. An Active, Useful Man. Raleigh Times. Mr. J. II.
