Ay cock, Chief Justice Clark and Justice Connor were among the first witnesses introduced this morning by the defence to prove the character of R. M, 8Imms; also of Ned Barnes, among the most important witnesses. Chas. B. Hocutt the first witness as to facte, was with Bernard Bchmitz, who testified yesterday and corroborated him as to Skinner's assault, on Hay wood. -Ned Barnes, colored driver of the Slate hospital carriage, testified he saw a difficulty between Skinner and Hay wood; waa on his carriage nearly op posite the south steps of the postoffice; beard somebody speak; turned in time to see Skinner strike Haywood. Hay wood partially fell and carried his band back after bis pistol. Skinner jumped back:, threw his right hand to his hip but witness couldn't see his left hand; didn't see Skinner when the second shot waa fired; aaw him after wards and his back waa towards Hay wood. Robert E. Denny, of Greensboro, told of hearing the shots and of seeing Haywood with a smoking pistol, bare headed, two or three feet below the south atepa of the postoffice. He saw Skinner fall in the street. Several witnesses testified to seeing Haywood's bat off and to seeing a bruise on his face. Jailor Parham a wore blood was set tled about Haywood's right eye next morning. T. P. Sale told of finding a pistol in Skinner's left hip pocket. Dr, T. M. Jordan, the coroner, told of linquest and examining the char acter of Skinner's wound. He said the bullet hole in his overcoat could not have been located as it is, except that it was out of position as it would be if Skinner waa drawing a pistol. A number of witnesses swore to Skinner's being left-handed. After the defence rested, W. E. Gwaltney, a druggist, the first witness for the prosecution, said he was stand ing inside the window of his drug store and saw Skinner run off the sidewalk; then baud another man with pistol near curb; then the first shot was fired, followed by a second; saw Skinner fall, - Gwaltney 's was the most rigid cross-examination yet The defence have a diagram to ahow that the asectiou of sidewalk couldn't be seen from iGwaltney's window. E. G. Simpson, member of the last House from Perquimans, was the oext witness. He was in front of the Yar borough and heard the first shot; looked and saw Skinner walking from Hay wood into the atreet; saw second shot fired when Skinner's back was to him. J. W. Pike' saw the second shot only in time to make step or two be tween them. Skinner was near the car track when the second shot was fired. The only other witness of impor tance waa George Willson, of Raleigh, who said he saw Mr. Haywood three or four feet above the south steps of the postoffice, Hay wood pointing pistol ; in an instant he fired; he quickly shot again; then saw Skinner take a atep or two; turn around and fall. He said on cross-examination that Haywood was not in the middle of the sidewalk; did not see Skinner on the sidewalk, though he may have been there. At 6 o'clock a recess was taken by the Court until 10 o'clock to-morow. (By Assocl&ted Press.) Raleigh, N. C, May 29. This afternoon in the second day's hearing in the case of Ernest Haywood, in dicted for the murder of Ludlow 8kinner and seeking bail under habeas corpus proceedingSjthe defence rested. During the morning Ned Barnes, a negro driver of good character, testl-' fied that an altercation took place in front of the, postoffice; that Skinner with right hand behind him was back ing, and Haywood fired. At the sec ond shot Skinner waa partly across the street and then staggered ; wheeled in a weak trot and then fell. Barnes is the only witness that says Skinner puthis right hand behind him,, as he was left handed. Charles Hocutt, clerk here, cor roborated Lawyer Schmitz'a account that Skinner struck Haywood in the face. He says Skinner put his left hand behind him. Other witnesses testified that Haywood after the shoot ing put his pistol in his pocket and then picked up bis hat, and that the mark of a blow was on Haywood's face. Testimony was Introduced showing that a pistol not discharged was taken from the - dead man's left hip pocket. ; The dead man's coat and overcoat were put on by the coroner, showing that the ball passed through the left lapel Of hia overcoat and the upper left pocket of his coat and vest He said that if the overcoat hung natu rally the three holes could not have been made, but with the left hand reaching back it could." - The State's first witness was - a druggist, W. E, Gwaltney. He testi fied that Haywood shot first when. Skinner was off the sidewalk. . Representative Simpson, of Perqui mans, testified that after the first shot, he saw Skinner on the street; he flinched at the second shot Testimo ny was introduced to show that the time consumed after the man had met Haywood, to the time of the shot, was too short for an altercation. No State witness testified as to a blow being struck by Skinner, Big crowds attend the trial. The questions asked show that the defence will urge self-defence and that the State will argue that there was no blow struck; that Skinner was shot at as he left the sidewalk and that the second shot, .made while he was still going from Haywood, killed him. Mrs. S. N. v Burgwin, of Tar boro, -who has been visiting her brother, Mr. H. K. Nash, returned to her home at Tarborc yesterday. 1903 JOHN W1LKINS NOT GUILTY.
