It says: "Asheville, Tarboro and Wilming ton show nearly the same white death rate, in the order named, 8.4, 8.4, 8.1. The highest death rate is Goldsboro, 30; or 7 white deaths in a white popu lation of 2,800, and the highest colored rate 60, or ,9;death3 out of a colored population of 1,700. Goldsboro is ordinarily so healthy we are surprised at these figures. THE BOYLE TRIAL, i INTEREST IN THE CASE INCREASES AS IT PROCEEDS Mist Whttaker Is Put Upon the ! Staad- The Defendant Is Examined as Witness la Ills Own Behalf lie Goea Through a Rllfld Cross Examination. Raleigh, Oct. 3.SPECiAL.H-The court room was not crowded this morn ing at the opening. The strain upon the public had been very great yester day. It was just 9:30 when the pris oner Boyle entered. He smiled faintly as he shook hands with Col. Fuller, of his counsel. His attire was as neat and careful as it was yesterday, and his tall ana hne hgure was as erect. One other witness was sworn, Katie Deboys, who was Geneva, Whitaker's compan ion. The hrst witness examined was Miss Effie Whitaker. an elder Bister of Geneva, very frail and very like her sister. She said that about 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, May 11, Geneva left home to go to the Church of the Sacred Heart, to dress the altar for Sunday, Alice Upchurch going with her. It was about 6:45 when she re turned home. She saw Geneva as soon as she came in, and in two minutes they met. Geneva said to her,"Sister, 111 TT -1 1- !3 T jl 3 1 Tl . 1 -tt-uuo u pcuureu Baiu i siayea in r amer tioyie s room a ion? time." miss wnit- f, taJEH 1 1 3 41 1 - J- J ii - -"-""'1 V a.

He threw me down on the floor and unfastened my clothing." Then Miss Whitaker went out in the yard, as soon as she could get her breath, and told her father. Geneva, while telling her sister, sat in a chair with drooping head. When j Milf e t a a f n ai a t- -1 iunuer tusuueu iuul on ounuay morn- ing she had examined her sister's per- son, and found bruises on her shoulders ana DacK, nnger prints on ner arm, mainly upon ner left arm, a bruise upon her left breast and water blisters on her elbows, also a knot on the stom ach. The bruises were blue. She said her mother (Mrs. Susan Whitaker) was a confirmed invalid. (A subpoena was - f . -1 , . . f ' Whitaker went on to tell of her sister's intensely painful physical condition for several days and nights, suffering with pains in her limbs. While at the Mayor's office Monday her nose bled freely. Her sister was described as a devout Roman Catholic, and had con fessed to Boyle. (The prisoner's coun sel made streneous objections to this evidence.) She and Geveva had gone to the church together to confess on Christmas eve, Boyle being there, and she saw her sister enter the confessional and leave it. She was closely cross- examined by Col. Fuller, but no new facts were developed.; Ke-examined, she said that the disclosure of the crime to her mother on that eventful Saturday evening entirely prostrated her mother. A very important witness for the prosecution, Dr. Peter E. Hines, next took the stand. He testified that on Saturday night, May 11th he made a medical examination of Geneva Whita ker, and described her as terribly in jured. (It was observable that Boyle was intently interested in Dr. Hines7 testimony and, that his eyes were very moist. Very clear and powerful testi mony it was, though of course unfit for print.) The examination was made at the request of Mr. Whitaker Solicitor Argo announced that with this witness the State rested its case for the presept. Alice Upchurch, a young girl with a pleasant face, was the hrst witness for the defence.! She told how she and Geneva Whitaker went to the church that Saturday evening, to decorate the altar. They went m the yard after flowers and saw there two negro boys, one of whom was Charles 1 oung. They went towards Father Reilley's room, to ask him for clean linen for the altar. On the way they met Boyle and asked him. Boyle told them to use the same linen. They went to the altar and put them on. AJfew minutes later Charles Young came to the door and said : "Come upstairs; Father Boyle has a note for you.7' Geneva turned around and said, "who? me?" Charles said i" re's." Geneva said: "My stars, I will be back in three miniltes" and left.. (Alice then went and sat in the church until Charles started to close the church, sav half an hour.

Alice said she asked Geneva why she had stayed so long in the church, and that Geneva said she had been gone but fifteen minutes, be cause she had looked at the - clock. Alice thereupon said that Geneva's fifteen minutes were as long as her hours. Geneva said Boyle had been telling her about his trip to New Bern. Alice asked where the note was. Geneva replied that the priest forgot to give it to her. Then she and Geneva went home, walking slowly.
