Pulliam Under Influence of Drugs Two weeks Before He Left Asheville. SUFFERED BOTH IN MIND AND BODY BELIEF EXPRESSED AT THE TIME THAT MR. PULLIAM' S MIND WAS UNSOUND LENGTHY TESTIMONY OF ALEX WEBB. The day before it was the mother, yesterday the daughter, who in the course of the Pulliam trial contributed to the large store of cumulative' evi dence which tends to show that in the winter of 1893 the defendant suffered much in body and mind. Miss Amelia Pulliam, the daughter of the defendant, was called as the first witness imme diately after court convened. Miss Pulliam preferred to stand while giving her testimony, which was of course per mitted. When speaking of her own in itiative, or when answering questions propounded iby counsel, Miss Pulliam spoke with- a careful frankness that gave special weight to her words. The young lady was what the court officers considered a good witness, which may also be said with equal truth of her mother. Miss Pulliam's testimony was in entire accord with that given by her mother and with the expert testimony given by the family i physician, Dr. Williams. Mrs. Pulliam was recalled for a short time, and Mrs. Annie Rumfbough Baker, Mrs. L. M. Bourne, J. Hardy Lea, J. H. Hampton, Hi C Fagg and Judge H. B. Garter were among the witnesses of the fore noon session. Even a. drenching rain had little ad verse effect on the attendance at the afternoon session, when"' once more the court room was comfortably filled. The attendance of ladies was not quite so large, perhaps fifty having attended the forenoon session. F. Stikeleather, who was for some time associated in business with the defendant , testified to his good charac ter and the fact of his illness. Dr. Garmichael, -and Esq. A. T. Summey, who said he had lived in. Asheville for more than 50 years, gave similar testi mony.. Justice. Summey said he had known Mr. Pulliam all his life, in his church, business and social relations, and that his character was good even to this day. Physically, said Justice Summey, the defendant appeared em aciated, feeble and thin.. On cross examination (conducted by assistant District Attorney Price the fact was elicted from Justice Summey that Mr Pulliam conversed rationally, although Thirty .brands of genuine Turkish Egyptian Cigarettes at tuomberg's.

Alex "Webb, the principal witness for the defendant remained on the stand Ion enough to recite the defendant's acts covering a long period of his life. Perhaps the most important piece of testimony given by Mr. Webb was to the effect that there was not a mo ment during the two weeks proceeding the defendant's departure from the city (Continued on 4th page.) S. PRITCHARD DEAD The End Came at One O'clock this) Morning, Twelve Hours After Critical Operation. Mrs. J. C. Pritchard, wife of Senator Pritchard, died at 1 o'clock this morning at the Biltmore hosDital. Mrs. Pritchard underwent a serious surgical operation early in the day yes terday. She reacted from the operation very slowly. At 10 o'clock, however, it was reported that she was resting Quietly. Soon after that she showsd signs of gradually sinking and all ef- j forts to restore her were in vain, j Shortly before midnight members of Senator's Pritchard's family here and at Marshall were notified that Mrs. Pritchard was dying. There were present at the bedside beside the sena tor several of Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard's near relatives and some intimate friends who had accompanied her to Biltmore from Marshall. For two hours before her death she was unconscious, but previous to that she had some hours of perfect consciousness and was able to speak a loving farewell to her husband and the few others who were near. f Mrs. Pritchard's fatal illness was tne result oi a cancer. SojneTs, two months ago an operation was performed that afforded tem porary relief, but the disease was too malignant for simple treatment and she was brought to the Barker Memo rial hospital last Sunday for a critical operation that offered the only chance of prolonging life. The case was great ly complicated and the surgeons held out little positive hope. RICH BLATON GETS LIFE IMPRISONMENT RALEIGH TOBACCO MARKET BUSINESS DAMAGE AGAINST A RAILROAD. Special to the Gazette.

A more quiet town than Shenandoah is today, would be difficult to imagine. Peace reigns everywhere in the region. The only thing now attracting attention in tnis vicinity is the camp of the troops who have settled down for a Deriod of enjoyable camp life Brigadier General Gobin, who is mak ing his headquarters at the Ferguson house, in the h Inot vet deoiri.pri his staff. The following general order was is sued from national guard headquarters here today: "The brigadier general commanding desires to commend the officers and men of the several commands now in camp at Shenandoah for their prompt response to call of duty and the rapid concentration where their services were required. It was most commendable and cannot fail 4o establish to a still greater extent the confidence f . the vwic in me teinciency ana reuaoility of the troops of this brigade.

MILLER, "Assistant Adjutant-General MITCHELL'S HAND KISSED BY . ENTHUSIASTIC FOLLOWERS Scranton, Pa., Aug. 1. President Mitchell and District President Nichols addressed a mas meeting of ten thous and miners this afternoon. Mitchell was received with great enthusiasm. He denounced the newspapers as mis representing the, relief question. He declared there vms sufficient relief funds to see that there is no real need . He urg ed them to stand firm- . He told the miners victory meant better homes, in creased happiness for themselves and families. He was confident the miners would win. After the meeting many pressed1 forward to shake Mitchell's hand. Some of the more enthusiastic kissed Mitchell's hand. Wilkesbarre, Aug. 1. President John Mitchell, of the miner's union, started to work early today upon a reply to the open letter addressed to him yes terday by the Citizens' Alliance of Wil kesbarre, an organization made up of business and professional men and others. In an address at the conven tion of miners of the first district of the United Mine Workers' held at Nan- ticoke some weeks ago, Mr. Mitchell criticised the alliance because, he claim ed, it was inconsistent. It' wanted to prosecute all miners who violated the law, he claimed, but overlooked the many violations of the law committed every day by the coal combinations. The alliance replied in an open letter in which they enumerated many out- rages said to have been committed by strikers and others in the coal region air. nr. J-V. Kno-on Mr A.T 1 f.r Vl 0 1 1 ' was called upon to define his position and to issue a proclamation to his fol lowers warning them to keep on the side of the law and order. He made no reply to the letter. Yet the alliance issued another open letter to the labor chief and after consulting with his ad visors, Mr. Mitchell decided tQ answer it. In his reply he takes the ground that he has always been a staunch de fender of law and order and that his followers know it. Mr. Mitchell had nothing to say with reference to the suit brought against hfan and other national officers of the United Mine Workers by a coal com pany.

Many or tne mnamtants of the towns of Los Alamos, which has been the center of seismic disturbances since last Sunday, have left for places outside of the trem bler belt. Those who have remained cannot abandon their' business. The Los Alamos valley is from one ,of half mile to a mile wide. The popula tion in the little village , is about 800. There are no brick buildings in the little village and the damages are thus' far limited to the ruin of plaster, collapse of chimneys, . the breaking of crckery and glassware, the falling of me wifcuis jjl Liie r-ieuy lermn cnurcu and two store buildings and the demol ishing of an old building which was se riously damaged with the first shock in the first earthquake on Sunday night. The damage will not exceed $10,000 in the -opinion of the old inhabitants of the place. I There is not a chimney left standing in the town, one residence was moved four inches and split in opposite cor ners. Not a building escaped some in jury and it is considered miraculous that no one was hurt. Los Alamos, Cal. Aug. 1. No more severe earthquake shocks have been experienced here since 7:30 last night.
