ANNAPOLIS, Md., August 1 1 A
gruesome feature was Ihls afternoon
introduced into the proceedings of
. the court of Jnijulry Into the death of
Lieutenant James N. Sutton, Jr., of
the United States marine corps, when
the legal, representatives of Mrs. Sut
ton, mother of the dead lieutenant,
brought to tha witness Htand Ir. Ed
ward M. Schaeffer. of Washington, an
expert on gunshot wounds. The peo
ple In the ;oom crowded around the
table and gazed with the keenest In
terest at the doctor while he placed
upon the table glistening skulls to the
exterior of one of which he affixed In
little lumps of wax, steel rods intend
ed to Indicate to the members of the
court the courae of the bullet in the
skull of Lieutenant Sutton, lieuten
ant Adams had given a dramatic Il
lustration of the position of Lieuten
ant Sutton when the fatal shot was
fired. The doctor was equally dra
matic as he stretched himself upon
the table and showed how it was finite
Impossible that Lieutenant Sutton
could ever have tired the shot that
put an end to his life.
Couldn't Full TrlKKcr.
One of the polntn upon which the
witness dwelt with special stress was
the Impossibility of Lieutenant Sut
ton's being able, under the circum
stances described in the testimony, to
exert sufficient pull on the trigger of
the revolver to bring down the ham
mer of the weapon upon the car
tridge. . .
Dr. Schaeffer stated that he had
had much experience in the examlna
tlQn of gunshot wpund and had per
formed" many autopsies "upon bodies
upon which such wounds appeared.
Illustrating upon himself, the wit
ness assumed on the table the posi

(By Associated Fre-.s.)
RALK1GH. N. C. August II. A
special from Manteo, N. ('.. says: Al
Thompson today shot and killed his
wife and wounded W. II S-aman, the
man with whom she eloped recently.
The wife and S aman had returned
and abducted two rtiil.lr. n in Thomp
son's possession, an t to regain jhis
sesslon of the . hiblren lie shooting
occurred.
The report is that Thompson, upon
learning that his wile had returned
and secured his childiui armed him
self with a revolver and went and de
manded them S. aman nu t him on
the porch and refused to surrender
the children, whereupon Thompson
shot him down. In the meantime the
woman wa seen trying I" . scape with
the smaller child In her arms, and
Thompson, with the weapon still
smoking, shot her dead. At a lato
hour Seaman is still living, but the
physicians have not been able to ex
tract the bullet, wnleh is lodged in
his breast or shoulder
Thompson hunted the sheriff and
surrendered. The women was well
connected in Dare county. More pity
than censure Is felt Tor Thompson,
who declines to make any statement
further than that lo loves hi children
and would rather die than be pa-
rated from thrni
Thompson is an
xpert mechanic.

A.sheillle is to have another hoise
show.
Several horse lovers who never tire
of talking horses, seeing horses, and
exhibiting horses are now perfecting
plans to organize the Asheville Mid
summer Horse KJiow association for
the purpose of giving exhibit Ions each
tyoar at a season when there a
thousands of visitors In the city who
would appreciate the. entertainment
afforded them by such a show. Kor
several years there has been consider
able agitation for a change In the
jca.soh of the Ashcville Horse Show
association's exhibition, but the di
rectors hale clung to the spring sen-
sou in suite of the fact that many of
them favored a later dale. Now
new iissociatiou with strong backing
anil embracing many of those who
are most intimately int. rested in the
old association have almost finished
their plans to have a midsummer
horse show.
The project has gone so far that
the dale is announced. It uill'l.e held
August 31 to September 1 at River
side park.
Will He a tumble Show.
The show will be given in connec
tion with the I Iendersonville horse
show which Is to be held August -d,
26, and 27 anil the exhibitors will
come direct from the "town down
the road'' and bring their exhibits
with them here. While the two shows
are really one divided into two sec
tions, each will be under separate
management and will be entirely dis
tinct from the other. The purpose, in
having both hold in connection Is
Induce exhibitors to bring more
horses and better horses which they
can easily afford to do with the chance
of two exhibitions
Valuable Frizes.
The promoters of the show haw
arranged to give a long list of prices
which will be part in cash and part
In cups but mostly in rash as Is now
done at all the more advanced exhi
bitions. The prizes will be of suffi
cient value to Induce horsemen to
bring their horses In from long dis
tances. There will be thirty classes of ex
hibits at both the llendersonvllle and
the Asheville shows, besides several
new and entertaining features de
signed to brea k the monotony for
those who ennnot hnd enough pleas

Hill be dispensed with and a new de

the prize winners. In the entries there
will also be several new classes be
sides several features which will be
both Interesting ami amusing. Among
these will bo a pony race for ponies
under 14 hands and also a mule race
for mules under fourteen hands. In
these it is planned to introduce
enough of the comic to make them
serve as a diversion from the more
sorious entertainment ot the stow. A
class In color will also be Introduced
in which prizes will be awarded for
the best colored bay, grey, black and
chestnut horses regardless f size or

At llendersonvllle the show will
last three das and there will be
events enough to till all three. r'eat
Ules of the show there will he till!
polo pony race which proved to be
one ol the most inleresiinc icaiures
of the exhibition last year. On the
last day there will be a horselMi'k
tournament and a fancy horse back
trill In which many expert horsemen
will take part and as a climax to the
whole. Hi. re will be the grand coro
nation ball at the Hotel dates on the
last night when a ipieen of love ami
beauty will be crowned by the knight
who may be so fortunate as to win at
the tournament.
Tlese two shows will attract crowds
of summer visitors from all the sur
rounding mountain resorts ami will
really be the social climax of one of
the most sin e, sslnl seasons the "Land

With a double bill there Is every
prospect, too, of making the show
such a great success that It will be
come an annual affair In which the
two cities may Join to their mutual
pleasure and profit. . .
The officers of the Asheville Mid

be elected as soon as the incorpora
