HOT GUILTY After listeaing padently from 10 o’clock yesterday momlng till 2 o^cIock yrsterday to wltneasee and the attor* n?yg for plaintiff and defenxlaat in the abattoir case, the recorder ad judged the Union Stockyard & Abat- lolr Company not guilty of violating a :tate law by putting on the market meat from a cow that was diseased. A formidable array of witnesses i were presented by both the city a? t I'laintiq and the company as defend j ant. The evidence convinced the re corder that the cow In question, which nan salughtered and offered for sale at Mr. Henry Hayman's meat market aud refused by him because he thoughr It unfit for use, was gored by another cow and that the wound In The side of the animal was caused by that alone and that the animal was not diseased. ' On the part of the city the counsel was City Attorney Brenlzer, Solicitor Parker and Mr. Cameron Morrison, the list of whom had been employed by Mr. A. W. Whitaker. After a spirited three-cornered parley participated In by the court, counsel for the defense :tnd counsel for the plaintiff the case called. .Sam Rabb, I^^ee Hunter, Young Ooode, Lutber Simon and Sam Stew- ar. all colored, eaiployes at the abat toir, testified that they had seen the ' «:w lying on her side groaning a short v hile before she was killed. Mr. Paul V. hitaker, son of .Mr. A. W. Whitaker, who iiandle* a great many beef cattle through the abattoir, testified that he ^ w the cow on Thnrsdaj' of last week ■ the day on which It was slaughtered) lying on her side groaning and tremb ling and with her legs stretched out as if she were dead. Mr. A. W. Whita ker also testified that he saw the cow on Thursday: that she was lying on her side groaning; that he called the attention of one of te negro employes TO te condition of the now, telling him that the cow ought to be killed and The hUJA «iaved as she would die in a very short time. .Mr. Stewart for the defense, asked the witness a number of questions as to th^ activity he had displayed in working up the case against the abat toir company, all intending to develop the fact that he had a grievance against the company. Counsel for the city then asked the court to allow Mr Whitaker to state to the court the complaints he had made to the com pany. This the city’s attorneys did in the endeavor to show that Mr. Whit aker had only business reasons for Mh attitude toward the abattoir com pany and not personal reasons. Phyeicians Testify. Dr. F. O, Hawley, city physician; Dr. T. A. Austin and Dr. C. A. Bland all timtified to having examined the meat at Hayman’s market. Dr. Hawley said the meat was bruised, blood-shot and had a wound on it. Dr. Bland thonght that the meat showed signs fit Inflammation, but that be could not meat was red and showed clear signs of inltommation, birt that he could not swear that the oow was diseased be fore she wa« gored. Dr. Austin gave a tacfanlcal definition of the state of the wound «nd said ioflBmmation uf- .oally set In tn luoh eases immediate- • ly unless the wound were made with a sterilized Instnnnent. To a hypo thetical question propoumled by City Attorney Brenlzer as to wheither a cow, wounded under the conditions stated'and killed after a lapse of time equal to the time stated In the case In question, the meat being found in flamed as stated, would be a diseased cow, Dr. Austin replied that he could not say that it was a diseased cow. All three of the pbyslotess agreed that they would not use the meat themselves. The Defense. Dr. FVed Mlsenehimer testified as sn expert for the defense that ^ ex amined the meat of the cow in question last Thursday; that tlie meat was not unwholesome except the part imme diately surroandlng the wotmd. He stated that the meat was all right for making sausage and that he would not have hesitated to use it for table pur poses himself. Messrs. Joe Mosteller, John Web ber, Pickard acid sertral other meat dealers and butchers testified that the goring of a cow would not unfit the meat fbr use unless the slaughter ing of the animal were delayed too long afterward. Mr. Webber stated that he saw the meat in question on Tuesday after it was offered at the Hayman market and turned down on Monday and that it was wholesome. MESADMES GIBBON AND SCOTT ENTERTAIN.

Be sure you are right, but it isn’t necessary to be sure everybody else is wrong. Rambunctious MuUs \^ere These Yesterday morning about ten o'clock two of the Standard Ice aM Fuel Co.’s mules tried to get funny with the Ice wagon to which they were hitch ed. As a result of the mules’ little joke the wagon was overturned while the mules went down a twenty-foot embankment. The wagon was progressing at an easy gait along East Ninth street when the mtiles became frightened, or at any rate made out like they were frightened, at a loose horse running down the street with shafts attached and dangling and flopping at his heels. The mules also being at this time of a. very sympathetic nature decided that they also wished a little more stren uous exercise. They rushed off down the street with one badly scared ne gro hanging on to the lines. The mules shied again, turning the wagon over and releasing the front axel and wheels from the rest of the wagon. The driver, afraid to let go, and having nothing else to do, fell across the front axle and took a joy ride down a steep embankment about 20 feet. At the bottom of the embankment, the mules, tired of such frivolity, and disgusted at the persistence of the ne- grp In staying with them, stopped and indulged in the luxury of perfectly fresh green grass in November. Synod Jo Plcce Memorial 1 ablet \ The 98th session of the Presbyte rian Synod of North Carolina will convene here next Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock in the Second Presbyteri an church. The retiring moderator, Hon. A. M. Scales, of Greensboro, will open the session immediately af ter which the moderator for the com ing year will be elected. One of the most interesting events of the coming session will be the placing of a tablet at Center church in Iredell county. On Wednesday morning the ?ynod will adjourn and go to Mooresville ,from which place they will be driven to Center church where they will attend the dedica tion rites of the placing of a ct>m- memorative tablet in the church. It was in this old church that the first synod in North Carolina met and the synod of North Carolina has seen-lit to mark the birthplace of so notable an organization. An Interesting Will A party of Canadian Royal Northwest Mounted Police, who on Dec. 1, 1910, left Fort McPherson, on the Dfelta of the McKenzie River, on the Arctic Ocean, for Dawson, Mn charge of Capt. W. J.^ Fitzgerald, with three trains of five dogs each, lost their way in a severe snow storm, and all perished on the banks of the Peel Rivei, after their supplies had given out and they had been driven to the terrible necessity of eating their dogs. The temperature is stated to have ranged from 50 per cent to 70 degrees below zero. When their bodies were found in March last a crude will was found in the pocket of Capt. Fitzgerald, who, realizing that the end was near, wrote it with a piece of charred wood. It reads as follows: ‘ All money in despatch bag and bank, clothes, etc., I leave to niy deariy beloved Mother, Mrs. John Fitzgerald, Halifax. God bless her.” Do not wait till death stares you in the face. Do not wait till you are enfeebled in mind and body by sickness or old age. WRITE YOUR WILL NOW. WE ACT AS EXECUTORS American Trust Co.
