Victor against the Chadwick Manufacturing Company, E. A. Smith and the Travel ers' Insurance Company, and against the Louise Mills, J. P. Wilson and the Travelers' Insurance Company, to de cide whetner the mills named had the legal right to insure the lives of the officers mentioned, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wilson, respectively, was argued last night in chambers before Judge Moore. His honor reserves his decision until he can further look into the law on tne" subject. Judge Moore left this morning for his home in Asheville. The following is a summary of the answer of the Chadwick Manufacturing Company, and the answers of the other defendant j are practically identical with it: The Chadwick Manufacturing Com pany answers to the complaint that Mr. E. A. bmith is and was during the time mentioned in the said complaint a cotton manufacturer of great ability and experience, capable of handling large financial and industrial enter prises, and that the services rendered and to be rendered by him to the Chad wick Manufacturing Company were of a high class and peculiar character and such as could be rendered only by him and that the company and its stock holders expected to derive and did de rive great benefit from his services and that his peculiar services were, and will be of great pecuniary value and advantage to the Chadwick Manu facturing Company, and its stockhold ers, including the plaintiff. The defendant contends that the insurance policy is a valid insurance contract, and further avers that by reason of the facts stated it has and will continue to have an insurable in terest in the life of Mr. Smith for more than full amount of the said poli cy, and that the defendant had the right and it was its duty to insure the life of Mr. Smith; that the payment of the premiums hereon was and is war- ranted and valid, and that the defend ant has received and is receiving lull value therefor, and so far from this be ing an illegal diversion of the earnings of the company and the plaintiff's vest ed rights as a stockholder, or the vest ed rights of any other stockholder, such a course is for the benefit and ad vantage of the defendant and of the plaintiff and all the other stockholders of the mill. The answer further states that if the court should hold that the insur ance policy is not a valid contract, and that the cotton mill did not have and has not an insurable interest in the m r,f TUr Smith then the defendant asks that' the policy be surrendered and cancelled, and that it nave juug mpnt. n-ainst the Travelers' Insurance Company for the full amount oi tne premiums paid with . interest from the time of payment.

L. ivirkpatnck represented tho state in the hearing. The only contest before Judge Moore was as to the evidence of Mr. M. H. Muliis, one of the eye-witnesses to the difficulty between Barnes and Gifford. Juryman Flournoy, who took down the evidence before the coroner, was in the court room and contended that Muliis had made two statements, as to one in particular, though this, however, was not a material particular. Mr. Flour noy contended that Mr Muliis varied in his statement as to when the vile epithet was used by Barnes to Gif ford. Mr. Flournoy held that in his first description of the fight, Muliis had not 1 stated that Barnes had used the un namable curse-word, but that in -"going over his statement the witness had brought it in. Mr. Muliis insisted tnat he had said it the first time, but that Mr. Flournoy had not caught it. Barnes' trial will probably come up at the next term, of criminal court, which convenes in April.
