GENERAL AMNESTY
Mr. li. Monroe Jetton, who was
brought to the city yesterday from1
Davidson and remanded by the cor
oner to jail without jail, for the mur
der of Dr. "NY. H. Wooten at Davidson
Tuesday night, has made no effort
through his attorneys to obtain free
dom by seeking a habeas corpus writ.
It is . derstood that no steps w... be
taken in this direction until Mr. E. T.
Cansler completes a case he is engaged
in before the civil" court. Thio case
will be fiuisheu this afternoon an J it
is likely that Mr. Cansler and the other
attorneys retained by rrr. .Teton will
confer on the matter. In addition to
Mr. Cansler, Mr. Jetton has retained
ex-Judge Osborne to represent him.
Solicitor George Wilson, who came
over to Charlotte from 'Jastonia yes
terday afternoon and conferred with
Coroner Hovis to see what evidence
the latter had obtained at his investi
gation at Davidson yesterday had
nothing to say as to whether he would
strongly oppose any effort to et Mr
Jetton out on bond. He hinted, how
ever, tnat since criminal court con
vened next Monday, he would likely
be averse to the release of Mr. Jetton
on bond. Mr. Jetton, it is said, could
furnish any reasonable bond.
Mr. Jetton stated to a reporter for
The News this morning that he rested
pretty well last night. He said that
he was sore yesterday in almost ev
ery muscle, but that he had rubbed
with liniments the doctors had giv
en him and felt much better in this
respect this morning than he did yes
terday. He also ate a good breakfast,
he said,-of han ar?d eggs, besides en
joying some fruits that one of his
brothers had sent him.
He, of course, would make norstate
ment about the shooting or what led to
it. saying that he had left everything
to his lawyers for them to arrange.
He stated that he was also leaving it
to them to arrange for bond and to

Philadelphia, Feb. 12. Inquiry into
the collision between the steamships
Nantucket and Monroe off tl e Virginia
coast in which 41 lives were lost,
probably will lead to changes in the
regulations for the navigation of coast
wise vessels and also to the adaption
of rules increasing the efficiency of
the wireless operators so as to assist
commanders to ascertain the proximity
of other ships during foggy weather.
During the examination yesterday of
Captain E. E. Johnson of the Monroe
in the trial of Captain Osmyn Berry,
commander of the Nantucket, charged
with negligence, the Monroe captain
said that operators do not always an
swer questions from other ships with
relation to their position. The local
steamboat inspectors are inquiring
into the wireless situation and expect
to put the surviving operators of the
two ships through an exhaustive ex
amination. It is expected the trial of Captain
Berry with last several weeks. Rep
resentatives from shipping interests
all along the Atlantic coast are watch

case is expected to be an important
fa,ctor in the damage suits that have
been filed.

Mr .,
Monroe. After reflection he said he
judged the distance was about one
thousand feet. Yesterday he testified
that he first saw the loom of the Nan
tucket's lights 34o feet away on the
starboard bow. He changed this dis
tance to 390 feet.
Under international rules a vessel
meeting another on the starboard
bow must give the other vessel the
right of way. Under this rule the Nan
tucket should have kept her course
and speed. Capt. Johnston was unable
to say whether the Nantucket kept
her course and speed in the fog.
Capt. Johnson testified that he was
steering a northeasterly course when
he first saw the Nantucket about 300
feet away. At that moment the
Nantucket, he said, was pointed at
the starboard side of the Monroe for
ward of the stack and that the Nan
tucket's course was west-northwest.

BOND
TELLS
HER STORY IN
GORE TRIAL
By Associated Press.
Oklahoma City, Okla.. Feb. 12.
Minnie Bond, who is suing United
States Senator Thomas P. Gore for
$50,000 damages growing out of an
alleged assault committed in a Wash
ington hotel, took the witness stand
todav and told Tier version of her
meeUng with Senator Gore.
Despite the ruling that evidence a
to incidents in the past life of either
of the litigants' was irrelevant, coun
sel for Mrs. Bond offered to let all
the evidence as to her character go
before the jury without objection,
provided the defense would not ob
ject to evidence offered against the
character of Senator Gore. Counsel
for the defense did not reply to the
proposition.
Wire. Bond testified she first met
the senator in 1909 and again a short
time later at a reception at Oklahoma
City. At the latter meeting she dis
cussed the appointment of the bus
band, Julian Bond, to the position ot
internal revenue collector. At that
time she said the senator talked fa
vorably of the appointment.
The witness then reiated how ne
went to Washington in March, 1913.
At a teception tendered by Mr. and
Mrs. Gore to their Oklahoma visitors
she again mentioned the appointment
and the senator asked her to come to
his office, according to the testimo
ny.
Reaching the time of the alleged
assault, the witness said she had
telephoned Senator Gore to come to
her hotel, saying she did not like to
wait in his office. When the senator
wrived she went with him, she said
to a room occupied by James Jacobs,
of Oklahoma. In their talk, she said
the senator asked many personal
questions and tried to take her hand
"I told him I was a different kind
of woman from those he had been as
sociating with," testified Mrs. Bond.
She alleged that the senator took
hold of her and tried to pun her
towards him and that her glasses
were broken in the etruggle, cutting
her in the face. When he pushed
her over on the bed, she declared, the
covering was stained with blood in
several places.
At this Juncture the witness said
T. E. Robinson, of Oklahoma, enter
e dthe room, together with Jacobs
and Kirby FItzpatrick and she went
to the toilet to wash the bloodstains
from her hands and face. She de
clared the senator followed her and
told her to tell the men there a
