SESSION WILL LATER BE BEGUN Doubt Exists as to When The Verdict Will Be Returned -Interest Intense. under the state law. ; Before going Into secret session this morning presiding Judge Cullen em phasized to the newspaper men the fact that the present sessions of the court were of the nature of a "private consulatatlon between the members of the court, to formulate the views which will determine their final ac tion," and that this action would be taken in public. "In the Judge Barnard impeach ment case, he said, "the vote : was taken In private consultation. It Is not the intention of the court to take the vote in that manner in this case. The vote will be taken in public." What is going on now is simply a private consultation between the members of the court to formulate their views which will determine their final action. "It . is the same procedure that is followed In every other court which is composed of more than one person, where the question is of sufficient gravity for a private consultation." An extra guard of police was placed before the doors of the court this morning and those interested In the course of the trial were not allowed to congregate In the corridors.

Announcement is made that the American Furniture Manufacturing company is to make an extensive addi tion to its plant on the French Broad river. This addition will be to the llnishing department, and will be 100 feet long. It will tie either two Or three stories high, it not having been decided yet as to all the details of the construction. The coat , has not been estimated. For the purposes of this addition the company will take up another acre of land adjoining the present site. An option is held on four acres, and the officers and directors believe that within a very few years it will become necessary to take up all of this prop erty for the extension of the plant. The business, since its establishment less than 18 months ago, has grown to the extent that was not dreamed of by the promoters of the concern, and this first addition is indicative of the healthy condition of tho plant and the confidence that the owners have in the furniture business in Ashcville. It will be recalled that at the first annual, meeting .of. the stockholders, which was held last summer, a divi dend of 18 per cent on the capital stock was declared for the lirst year's j business. Subsequently the charter was amended whereby the capital stock was increased from $23,000 to! $75,000, the new issue being equally divided into common and preferred. The prospects for the present year's showing, It is understood, are even better than for the first year, despito' this trebling of the capital stock. It is stated that orders are coming In much faster than can be filled; and that there are enough orders on hand now to keep the factory busy on full time until the first of the year. These facts are most encouraging to those who have boosted Asheville for years as a logical manufacturing point; as well as being indicative of sound busi ness conditions in the city and section. The new addition to the factory will be built during the winter, plans for it being under way. at present. It is hoped that it will bo completed by thn early spring. The output of th factory will be very materially Increas ed when the addition is occupied. By Associated Press. Highland Light. Mass., Oct. U.
