Mistrial Ordered and the Case Goes to Charlotte for Trial in Next December. CONSIDERABLE INTEREST IN FINAL PROCEEDINGS INTERESTING MOTIONS, INVOLV ING THE CRAG ACT, INTRODUCED WHCH COURT WILL, PASS1 UPON LATER AT CHAMBERS. The developments in the Pulliam case yesterday morning were of decided in terest. The courtroom was well filled when the jury entered, tout absolute quiet prevailed when Judge Boyd asked the jury if they had arrived at ajay conclusion. Upon receiving' a negative answer, Judge Boyd addressed some re marks to the jury which were very much in the nature of a rebuke, al though he disclaimed any desire to "criticise or readithem a lecture. Judge Boyd said there' was ho apparent rea son why the jury had not agreed, and from what he had heard was satisfied that one of the jurymen had acted in an. unreasonable and unseemly 'anianaer. It ie understood that only one juryman prevented a verdict of guilty. The jury having, failed to -gree the court ordered a imalstrial recorded, whereupon -the government imovd that the case be transferred to the regular term of the court at Charlotte, which meets on the" first Monday in Decem ber, the trial to begin on Friday of the first week. The motion was strenuously opposed by Judge Charles A. Moore, of counsel for the defense, but finally pre vailed. Judge Boyd saying, that the jurors who usually attended the Meck lenburg court were the toest and anost intelligent in- the district. Judge Boyd said that he proposed to remove the fccase where there would be no exterior influences to work against for either the defense or the troverrinienit, Baid' he fcould not see how this course would prove prejudical to the interests of the defense, as it had 'been hia observation that public sentiment was rather against than for .the "defendant. This Judge Moore took exceptions to, Baying juat the reverse was true. Judge Boyd said that this was the second important Ibaftjk case that had resulted in a mistrial in Asheville,. and he proposed to see that these bank cases were disposed of one way or another. Judge Moore stated in open court tht he would, at the earnest solicitation of Assistant District Attorney Price, mow to rescind the order of forfeitu against Dr. John Whitehead who h& failed to respond as a witness in tA Pulliam, case.

In South Court Sauare;! ?QDSIjvAI mm ; Boy Moore yesterday made motions in tb Circuit court to remand a couple at, Southern Railway cases to the S-tatA courts. The motions attracted consid erable interest among- attorneys, s they involved the Craig act. Both mo- tions were made on the groucd. that the Southern Railway company was -a domestic corporation, having complied with the : provisions- of the. Craig act, passed by the legislature of 1897. The motions were opposed by A. H. Price, representing the Southern, who cited the authority in this circuit toy de- 1 cision of Judge Simonton and also au thorities from the United States Su preme court. Mr. Price took the position that the jurisdiction was con ferred upon the United States Circuit court by congress, and that the. South ern Railway company was a corpora tion organized and created under the laws of the State of Virginia, and that its home for jurisdictional purposes was in the State of its birth, and therefore that the company was a e on-resident of the. State of North Carolina, which points, Mr. Price contended, had been decided ibefore. The court announc-d that the motions would-be taken under consideration, and directed Judse Mer rimon 4aid Judge Moore to agree with counsel for the defense as . to the facts as they appeared upon the record, and the matter would then he decided later at chambers. Judge Boyd, District Attorney Hol ton and Assistant Attorney Price - left yesterday after noon for their respect ive homes.

BROWN FOR SOLICITOR THE ASHEVILLE POLICE JUSTICE NOMINATED YESTERDAY AT MARSHALL. -1 A Warm and Close Contest Be- tween Him and C. B. Mash- burn in Judicial Convention. MR. MASHBURN NOMINATED . CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE BUNCOMBE COUNTY SENT A GREAT DELEGATION TO THE CONVENTION CHARLES McNA MEE THE PRESIDING OFFICER. Special to the Gazette. Marshall, N. C, Aug. 8. The Fif teenth district republican judicial con vention here today developed a lively contest between Mark W. Brown of Asheville and C. B. Mashburn of Marshall for the solicitorship. Mr. Brown was nominated and then Mr Mashnurn was named as the party's candidate for judge of the superior court. No more spirited contest for i nomination than that between) Messrs Brawn and Mashburn for the solici torship has toeen seen in the counties composing this district in many , years. The democrats who witnessed the warm and lively contest can take the unc tion to their souls that the doughty warriors who waged conflict today for their favorite candidate are the same that they must meet in the contest that will end next November. Bun combe county went up to Marshal! nearly one hundred strong, and this immense delegation, the most repre sentative that ever wewt to any polit ioal convention from Asheville and Buncotnibe county, was in itself a fine compliment to the young Asheville Po lice Justice Mark Brown, for with but four or five exceptions the entire dele gution favored his candidacy. Mr. Mashburn, who is a good fight TA l - !r5Ti, er nimseir, was supported. Dy many Z-ZL'ZL as swords with the Buncombe county host - " preViOU6 ,to the convention the Bun- combe county delegation held a caucus and instructed Dr. George W. Reed of Biltmore to cast the four votes allowed to the county for solicitor. But two dissenting, votes were cast against the proposition. J. R. Starnes was in- structed to cast the four votes of the county for John A. Hendricks for judge. ' uumcriuiuu was csiueu. xu oruer after the noon hour , by J.

All the candidates for aom 'ination were estimable gentlemen. He ers. "We are going to make this fight ,as the white republicans of western i North Carolina" (cheers). The party Jin this district he said was numerically and proportionately stronger than it naa ever been before. He had " - m -oriug the negro back as a subject of polit- ical contest, but that whip could not be snapped successfully over white men any more. Col v. S.
