. Jurv selected From Another
County Mrs). Gilmer, the Wo
man in the Case, Put I'pon the
Stand and Tells) Her Story.
AbinodoN, Va., Feb. 24. When the
county court met Monday morning a
large crowd had already assembled in
town to hear the preliminaries in the
celebrated Baker case. It will be re
membered that the case was continued
last term on account of the sickness of
one of the defence's witnesses, and tbf-1
owing to t.ie difficulty of obtaining a
competent jury here a venire was sum
moned from Botetourt county. The
venire arrived here .at 2 o'clock yester
day, aud all the atternoon was com
suraed in forming a jury and in reading
the indictment. 1 he prisoner when ar
raigned presented his usual cool appear-
auce.
The court room was again crowded
when the case was called yesterday.
The case has taken a decided turn.
Mrs. Gilmer, the paramour and acces
sory te the awful crimes committed, has
seemingly taken the law into her own
bands and tried to run the court lor a
while.
Ta begin with she sent (or Hon. prank
Burr this morning, a prominent lawyer,
but one who has never had any connec
tion with the case, to adyise with her.
They remained in his office for a cousid
crable length of time, delaying the court
bveryoody was wailing impatiently,
some askiug, "Where is the 'Cleopatra'
who is to do important testitying this
morning: one was then uskmg Mr
Burr, Is it mv Christian duty to testily
against Dr. Baker, when I was implicit
ted and when indicted as an accessory.'
At lust she arrived in the court room.
The eager throng drew a breath of re
lict.

clacdb h. miller.
February 1, 1892.
The first proceeding was one of sensa
tion, one which has never been heard ot
before in this country. The luir witness,
laumessiv ana elegantly dressed, took
her seat. The court Bad convened and
the prosecution was preparing to ques
tion her, when Iiarr took a scut beside
her aud addressed her. Then the hve
able lawyers exchanged looks ol conster
nation and surprise. One ot them jump
ed up aud asked the court to stop that
nan and have him ejected.
A discussion arose which bordered on
to madness. Burr swore that he was
ber advising counsel and proposed to
protect her. Finally he was compelled
by the sheriff to move from behind the
bar and the questioning begun. Mrs.
Gilmer answered them till this question
was asked: "On the day alter Dr. Baker
buried bis wife and came to see you
what did he say, how did he look, what
were bis actions.'
At this she broke dowa and refused
to answer. She said to answer that
question would be to bring disgrace and
inlamy down upon ber. 1 hen u discus
sion among the ten lawyers began which
lasted till tour o clock this atternoon
1 he prosecution argued, (and she was
their witness), she must answer, us it
would only disgrace and not criminate
ber, and that until a question was asked
that would criminate it she responded
she must talk.
The defence took different grounds
Mrs. Gilmer, who testified to suit the
prosecution last summer, now evades
them. In fact she was a prisoner then
and now she is free and wants Baker
free. She has soured on the prosecution
The judge finally ruled that she must
answer and she burst into sobbing, but
responded, "He took me in his arms,
caressed me and suid, 'Now my darling,
you are mine forever.' "
At this poiat she was taken very sick
and had to be removed from the court
room. She said the prosecution had im
posed on her from the beginning.
At this point Col. Summers arose and
said, "Then I withdraw Irom the case,"
and he left the court room.
The trial will coutinue to be very sen
sational. MAT RE ANOTHER HI IT.

St. Loins, Feb. 24. At a caucus held
yesterday it became evident that many
southerners were not in fnyor of the
third party action, holding that their se
cession from their old party, the demo
cratic, would only strengthen the repub
licans. The logic of their argument was
conceded by all, and before the

and state president of the Alliance, who
announced that should the conference, lie.

Washington, Feb. 24. The attend
ance in the house was small when
Speaker Crisp, looking somewhat im
proved from his short vacation, called the
house to order.
Mr. Tarsney, of Missouri, asked unan
imous consent for present consideration
of the resolution directing the commit
tee on labor to investigate first, whether
the continuance of the eight-hour law
aud its enforcement is desirable; second,
by what methods and to what extent
the law has been evaded; third, whether
amendments are required to provide for
the practical enforcement of the law;
fourth, whether any convict labor is be
ing used by the United States or any
contractor or sub-contractor in the con
struction or repair of public works;
fifth, whether the product of convict
labor is being furnished to any depart
ment ot tne government.
1 here was no objection, and the reso
lution wns adopted.
1 he house then went into committee
of the whole (liynum, of Indiana, in the
chair) on the Indian appropriation bill.
In the senate Mr. Sherman reported a
resolution requesting the president (if
not incompatible with the public inter
ests I to inlorm the senate of the proceed

of the dominion of Canada and the Brit

reciprocal trade with Canada.
Mr. Harbour gave notice that r nday,

The senate then resumed consideration
of the Idaho election case.

Contractor Tennent Talk About
Hulnic the Citv.
The city of Asheville is likely to have
another suit on its hands, growing out
of the Mission hospital case.
J. A. Tennent, the contractor, was ar
rested last August for a violation of ai
rdinance passed by the board ef alder
men. He had a farce of hands at work
on the new Mission hospital building,
at the intersection of Woodtin and Char
lotte streets.
When the arrest was made, work was
suspended, and hat not been resumed
since. Nearly all of the frame work was
up, and has been standing in all sorts of
weather until considerably damaged.
Mr. lennent told I UK Citizen this
morning that he was in consultation
with his attorneys, and would in all
probability bring suit against the city
tor damages. He has not vet decided
upon the amount he will sue tor.
Mr. Tennent also said that the mana
gers of the hospital would likely insti
tute a damage suit against tne city.

Will C. McConnell, the North Main

Mr. McConnell that there was danger

Dr. W. L). Hilliard was sent for at once

Kansas City, Feb. 22. Yesterday
morning an enormous wolf hunt started
over Crawford and Uouroon counties in
Kansas. As a result about 300 wolves
lie dead. Both counties an! others ad
joining were scoured over by 5,000 nsen
women, and children armed ia all con
ceivable ways. Two thousand jack rab
bits were also captured in the general
round-up. Owing to an error in signal
ing there was one break in the line which
reduced the number of captures, but an
other hunt will take place on next Sat
urday to finally wind up the taxes and
wolves of southeastern Kansas. There
was but one accident, Thomas Perkins,
of Farlingtoa, being very seriously bit
