"And I peeped ont,w continued Dr. Payne, 'and then I closed the door think ing that my appearance upon the scene might stand in tho way of poeeible reconciliation, when I beard a shot and went out with my gun. Watson was very severe on Payne for not having mentioned this up to this time, and put it againt the earlier statement he alleged Payne had made, namely, that Payne was writing a letter when he heard the shot. With this exception there did not seem to be a rough piece in Payne'a testimony, which, however, mrtLA nrettv varied by Tusser, who ... r . . ,, lowed by Dr. Ion, who tcstiGoi to tho cauo of death, autopsy, etc. SI ic had 4 pii he csw Shcmwell and Payne in the baiter shop Satur day flight bcioro the Monday khoot ug, SbernwcU walking to and fro and saying -:nething about Payne JJr. you interfering with his buinc.

Sbemwell aiJ : -You shall lei my busioc alone, or there will be troable."

'It was a littlo after the laying away of tbce pis tols in the drawer, that tho same pistols were brought away from the scene of tho killing. Two pistol of the Payne, also were brought away from tho secno and a few days later another pistol was brought to Mich aels seemingly tho same one which .S. E. Williams had lent to youn have wavlaid and killed me." Un der the cioes examination of "Wat son Tusser admitted that there had been somo work which he had done for Shcmwell in which ho had to make some charges to render it sat isfactory, but said that there Lad bean no ouarrel, and that there was no ill feeling between them. Counsel for the defence did not seem, however, to bo perfectly sat is- iied ot this. Tho feature of the day waa the fasscd, bhemwell shot, young 'avne went to his rescue, and a general fusillade followed with no body hurt. i . Saturday. Loxinton, X. C, J uly C It seems fair to say that the theory both of the prosocutioo and of defence is suGcienlly apparent to say that the State will claim in alleged conson ance with tho testimony yesterday of Dr. Payne that Shcmwell came up behind aim and Lis lather and with story of Dr. Leo Payne, the son of I out warning shot old Dr. Payne the deceased, who was on the stand I down in co!d blood, with the inicn four bonis, lacking a few minutes. I tion of shooting young Dr. Payne Dr. Pavne. thoucht of phlecmatic I also. The contention of tho State, temperament, waa a shade disturb ed for a lew moments and then went on naturally, the listening by tho jury and by all being intense. At one point the young doctor became choked with emotion and waa almost unable to proceed, and eyes of the old and of the younger glistened all over tho court room. Tho women uf the Payne family who were present were deeply overcome by the distressing narra tion, but there was no sensational giving way to their emotions. PR. PAYNE 8 8TOKY OF THE TUAOEPY. "The killing," said Dr. Payne, "took place on the main street,, it seems almost certain, embraces all this claim. Appearances t indicalo that the defence will stoutly hold that there was a conspiracy between Dr. -Payne and his son to attack und shoot Shcmwell when the first fiht of the morning occurred. And that is why so roucn storo was Bet yesieraay upon the Iato coming evidence of Dr. Payne, which, however, ho said he would have given sooner bad he been asked or thought of it. In this testimony Dr. Payne said that ho opened tho door, benrd friendly words between hia lather and ohctn well and then closed it. .Moreover, it seems from the trend of tho question, that tho defence is and the place was located. "My I trying to establish the fact that at father, my little boy, Mr. JJavid the time of the second shooting, one Crotta and his grand son, of tho Paynes attacked first, and to- David Jacob, and I were walking day Mr. Watson called attention to ouietlv down the street, talking tbodent in the uncxplodcd cartridgo about some sick people at tho poor ,n tfao pwtol carried at that time by house. Suddenly Air. CrooU cried fPS Dr- je. But tho witness, iiv t KUmMir.nnmln, Policeman Michaels, said bo did not or SheniwelPa on you,' I am not sure about tho words; I waa then walking three or four feet in ad vance of my fatner. As 1 turned I heard tho defendant say, We'll have it out now." I saw my father half turned, facing towardtne road; the defendant witli two pistols, one toward me and one near my father s breast. Tho defendant waa stand- think tho dent came from a snapping of tho hammer, and therein lies the rub. There were, however, somo now facta which camo out from witnesses to-day for the State, tho first three simply in corroboration of Dr. Payne, and not containing any new matter worth attention, t But V 13. Jlamocr was called as fourth witness. Ho is a harness maker living quietly across inc with one foot on the curbing tho street from where tho tragedy f tl,n rvrmi.nt. tlin otlipr nn th I occurred. Ho was in bis 6hoi at side ditch, and just a I turned and caught these all at one glance, the defendant hrcd at my father. My father immediately after tho tiring, grasped Shemwell. They struggled out into tho street and fell. Shcmwell had two pis- toia in his hands when my father - crasped him. I expected to see Shemwell shoot , him again. I took a pistol from my own pocket and rushed to my father's asassistancc. I tried to shoot tho defendant, but ho caught me by the leg and trip ped me, and aa my lather, weaken ed from the loes of blood, lost his hold, ho (Shemwell) got upon me in the struggle. Wo were strug gling there in the street until we were separated. When wo were separated and I started toward the sidewalk I caught my lather, for he was falling and called for help, ' and 1 removed him to the side walk. My father said, I am dy- lctr. I tried to 6tancu the flow ot work and saw the Doctors Payne going down the street. In a moment bo heard little- Dennott, bhcmwcll a son, crying earnestly from acrons tho street, "Paps, papa," and "I saw him making gestures, continued 11am ner.

Ilcacbing tho Paynes Shcmwell throw up his right hand and hrcd in to Dr. Payne s bosom, liamncrsaid ho could at seo j Shemwell s right band, but that ho had not shifted tho pistol. I Watson attacked tho eyesight of tho witness, who said ho was sixty- three, said his door and window was distant C or 7 feet and tho window not a particularly clean or particu larly dirty one. Watson's questions, moreover, inferred that if Hamncr heard little Dcrmoll's exclamation at that distance -oung Dr. Payne should havo heard it too at closer ell. was I say. '.Now Baxter irivo mo the pistols,' and ho ays, 'No wo will go to the drug storo and lay thorn away.'" Whilo Michaels had gone to arrest the Paj'nca, ho left Sucm wcll in tho hands of other ofliccrs, but on returning with tho Pay nra, ho left them fur somo reason, and went to tho drug storo and found Shem well out of tho hands of the officers with whom ho had left him. Then Shcmwell went to tho court ii.-usc with Michaels, who went back to tho drug storo and finally found out. after difficulty, that tho pistol wcro still laid away in the drawer and were still logically on Shem well's person. AH the pistols wcro exhibited in court and Michaels was sent to a back room to unload tin in. In un loading tbcm one of tho empty sheila that contained the bullet that, of tho tow shots, may havo been the one that killed Dr. Payi.c, fell on the floor with a hollow ound that was heard over tho court house and which cuuscd tho women of tho Payno family to bury their faces in their hands. On cro- examination Michaels said that the old doctor said ho baa gono to make friends and ho was sorry now that ho had gone. Michaels said moreover, that in the trial tho old Doctor said ho would havo to put bis spectacles on to sign tho bond. Upon which Shcmwell Baid, "I wish I had got tho other." Charlio Christian, another eye wiu dcss, agreed with tho other eye wit nesses savo that he positively swears that pistols wcro drawn by Sherawcll some dislanco before ho reached tho Pa3ncs, and that ho walked along with them in bis hand. 4, and also that thero were, two shots ; that be beard both reports and caw both pis tols etnokin-r in Shemwell'o hands. This wilnesss got rather badly bothered an to tho location of tho homicide, on cross examination. Court adjourned till Monday at 10 o'clock. Monday. Lexington, N. C, Juno 8. Mis. Addcrton, sister-in-law of Dr. Payne, deceased, and Baxter Sherawcll wcro both put on tho stand today. Mrs. Addcrton testified: "After tho firt shooting I saw Mr. Shcmwell run ning atros-i tho street. At Dr. Pay no's office 1 saw his son. Dr. Leo Payno, havo a gun. Somo littlo timo afterward I was going down to spend the day with my bister, Mis. Dr. PflVlie.

Al l 1.1 Solicitor Holton, rising, naid: "The State resta." On this there was a flight commotion. Mr. Watson calh-d Sheriff Leonard to tho stand, who said when Shemwell eurrendered'to him ho did not re member his saying "I have accorri plifthcd what I had determined to do," bat under cross examination of Montgomery said that Shcmwell might have said somi-liiinelte than "I am your prisoner" and be not heard it. as thero vra q-iito a crowd at the door. W. D. Smith, a storf kcjcr, was called by Mr. Watwin. Ho saw .the morning row; sw ShcmwcU strik ing Dr. Payne with something Hko a newspaper package; could not see what Dr.Pajno was doing; saw Shem well shooting and retreating toward tho street; Shemwell shot once and then tbrco times in quick succession; then a paue of ten Hcconds, then four moro shots between young Dr. Payne and Shcmwell: old Dr. Payno bad in tho meanwhile gotten behind a Inrge treo in hU yard; did not see old Dr. Payee have u pistol; saw top of Dr. Payne'a bead behind bis gate post and gun barrel pointed at Shcm well, who was running from treo to treo across tho street and calling for a gan. Under Long's cross examination Smith sa:d Dr. Payno': to no when ho called Shemwell was kindly. They seemed to bo talking in a friendly way for five or six seconds before the ctriking. ' Mr. S. L. Adams, insurance agent ot Alamance, was called; he was in to co young Dr. Payne nearly two months after tho killing and paid that Dr. Payne said ho was certainly going to hang Shcmwell; said he epoko of Dr. Buchanan's unprofes sional conduct and said he was either an infamous or contompiiblo scoundrel; that Shcmwell'sown kins- pcoplo were coming to him with ov idenco against Shcmwell; said ho was not slccoing much at nights, but was preparing tho caeo against Shcmwell. Under cross-examination by Mont gomery, Adams said that Payne bad said that this man had murdered his father; that Shcmwoll or Broderick had tried to displaco his father as medical examiner. Adams had told Ilev. T. A. Boone, a minister here, and dn old friend. Adams said he and tho preacher were discussing tho passage ofScripture," Vengeance is mine, Buyclb tho Lord," and had said to Boono that ho was surprised that thero should bo such bitterness. SHEMWELL ON THE STAND. Baxter Shcmwell, ago 37, came to tho stand at 12:30. In tho story of Shcmwell tho important parts touch ing tho two difficulties is as follows: lhat in tho first dimculty ho was called, on his way to business, by old Dr. Pa3no from his bouse, and waited for him at tho gato. Old Dr. Payne said that ho understood he had drawn a pistol on his son. Soem wcll said that Payno had slapped his hand on his pislol-pockot, and that bo had dono what ho did simply to protec. himself, and that it was settled. Then old Dr. Payno asked was be not armed now. lie looked at him in amazement, when Dr. Payno caght holt of his coat saying, "1 can whip you myself, sir." Thon ho threw up to me," said Shemwell, "about practicing frco for my mother, and sovcral things passod. 1 told, bim I Wanted, tbem to let me and my business alone. That they had continually bothered my brother-in-law and ruined his business by cir culating reports that bo kept old medicino and substituted prescrip tions. Ho immediately shook his fist in my fuce and said, 'You are a liar.' I had a cologne bottle in my band, wrapped op in a paper. I im mediately reached over and struck him in tho face. lie immediately reached in his pocket pulling out his pistol and snapped. I reached for mine, and about the same lime Mr. Pedwino came up and caught bold of me. I saw Dr. Leo Payne com ing out with his pistol. This was about tho timo that Mr. Bedwino shoved me off tho sidewalk. Then I don't know who first fi'od. I ro trcaled, emptied my j' ol and got behind tho treo." 1 ho rest of this story has been substantiall told by other witnesses, except that Shem well donied that bo had 6aid to Mrs. Adderton that be would kill tho EVELEN CRAY DOWNEY. ghm W Only YVo-n- Wl.'' 1 1 -. th Tbo la to Evelcna Bry Doiracy would doubtless havo livtl ru-I died Unknown to tho world but for tbo fact that tho bachelor poet.

Tho two young people formed a strong attach ment for each other from tho begin ning of their aoquaintanco. Before Miss Bray left tho academy sho had a portrait painted of herself by John Porter, then a popular art ist Whittier thought the portrait the most beautiful he had ever seen.

Still, when 6ho was herself well on the road to 60, said this friend s cak ing a fow months ago: "I once said to Evelcna, You -wcro too naughty, too proud, that you refused John Whittier.'

Tho effect is said to have boon very beautiful, though it would soem as if the presence of the lads In its interior would seriously interfere with the tone of tho "great fiddle," as it was called. Many years after another hugo instrument of this kind was used at concerts in Boston. It was so largo that to play it tho fid dler had to stand On a tablo to use his bow at tho proper point on the strings. This instrument was called "the grandfather of fiddles. "Bos ton Traveller.
