dential development is more
than quadrupled In magni
tude by transaction which have
culminated today. Mr. Grove has.
In addition to his former holdings,
purchased the Mills place of 18 acres,
just east of the Deake property and
running along the side of Bunset
mountain; the R. Dawson place of
three acres: the summit of Sunset
mountain; with SO acres from the T.

Place, the old orchard, 9 acres, mak

acres, which property the owner will
make the most attractive location for
homes in the entire south..
Further announcement la made to-,
day that Mr. Grove will build an In
line or counterweight railway from a
point near the terminus of the Char
lotte street car line to the top of the
mountain.
He will also build an automobile
road from Charlotte street, to the
summit of the mountain, winding
through hs own lands; and will op
erate an automobile lino from the
Grove park office over this road,
through the park, for the accommoda
tion of residents and others.
Scheme of Development Will Re Car

All this additional land will be de
veloped as a continuity of the scheme
already . begun In the E. W. Grove
park, and It will all be traversed by
Macadam roads with i maximum
grade of six per cent and surfaced
with a binder of asphalt to prevent

i i fr-.Grovo's ,(loa' in a few words, is sot forth by him as that of making the most attractive location for homos in the entire south. It involves n comprehensive scheme of
road building and landscape architecture. He is apparently actuated mainly by the impulse to accomplish something that will be great, and beautiful, and immanent. He is a de
termined man, and well able to carry out his plans.'- Imagination can, hardly picture the importance to Asheville of the announcement of the purchase of this large boundary, and
the prospects for its development.

The Defense Rested This Fore
noon, and Testimony In
Rebuttal Concluded ,
at 3:20.
MRS. LINVILLE COULD SMILE
EVEN AT A MURDER TRIAL
Court Proceedings not Only Interesting,
but Enlivened by a Touch
' of Vaude
ville.
"Tun at a murder trial," was ths
facetious remark of a wag In leaving
the court room this afternoon at the
adjournment of court for the noon re
cess. It was tho trial of Constable F.
Watklns charged with murder In
the second degree, for the killing of
John Hill Hunting at the Gladstone
hotel on the night of August . In
the closing hour of the morning ses
sion and with Mrs. Ltnvilie, house
keeper at the Gladstone on the
stand, the court room several times,
wss hilarious. Mrs. Unvllle, sum
moned by the defense and the prose
cution and Inter repudiated by the
defense, was examined by the state.
8he was rather free with expressions
nnd instead of answering questions
"yes" or "no" many times added the
trimmings. It was just before being
excused from the witness stand that
Mrs. Unvllle produced the greatest
amount of laughter and both Sheriff
Hunter and Judge Adams rapped vig
orously for order. Mrs. Mnvllla had
been turned over to the state for. re
direct; Solicitor Rrnwn examlng ths
witness asked Mrs. Unvllle If anyone
hnd paid her expenses here. Mrs.
Unvllle very promptly and very de
cisively replied. ,
"Yes, sir."
Who?" arked ths solicitor.
"Mrs. Unvllle paid them," replied
tn witness. -And I just want to
state that I hava more money in bag
here (shaking a handbag) and also I
have money In both my stockings."
Another time Mrs. Unvllle said that
what she testified to at ths coroner's
Inquest did not appear In ths type
written evidence.
Do you mean to say that the sten
ographer left it onti" Mr. Craig asked.
"I don't know whether ha or a
lawyer did It," said the witness. ,
"Well, was It Judge Jones V again
asked Mr. Craig.
"I don't know whether It waa jrou
or Judge Jones," wild Mrs. Unvllle,
and ths crowd in the , court room
howled, . , , , ,
