For :he first time since the trial of Will Myers began," Mrs. Forest Crowley, widow of the murdered man, appeared this, morning in the court room. She was the first witness examined to-jay. She is exceedingly pretty and as she told her part of the story.though it was short, she was listened to with extreme interest. She said that her husband wore a diamond ring the day he left home with Myers, She thought it was on his left hand. " T. C. Longino, of West En4,".testified that he had known Myers for several years. He aa.uk Myers the day of the murder. Myers drove out from Atlanta with some one in a buggy and soon came back alone. B. G. Carlton saw Myers coming from towards West View cemetery. Sam Kahn, of Eiseman $ Weill, testified mat ne soia Myers a new suit of clothes, hat, shirt and suspenders. The outfit was paid for by Myers and cost $ 23.5Q. The sale was made about the middle j of the day on which Crowley was murdered!. The evidence of Chief Wright, of the de tective force, was ruled Out. Wright took Myers to the scene of the murjder and made him place his shoes in some foot prints found there. The shoes fitted some of the tracks perfectly. A pawn broker identified Crowley's watch which Myers had pawned to him. W. T. Hudson, a photographer, testified that he had taken a photograph of Brown & Allen's sign from Eiseman & Weil's door way. Brown & Allen are druggists, whose store is opposite Eiseman & Weil's place on Whitehall street A telegraph pole hides the "&"inthe sign and ths ! photographer showed the words "Brown tAllen." The theory of the prosecution is that Mvers sot the suggestion from that sign for the name Dy wnicn ne designates the mvth whom he says murdered Crowley. j ine youtntui prisoner showed some emo tion, which waa natural, when he made his statement to the jury. It wasj written with a pencil and was brief. He read it, saying: I am as innocent of Forest Crowley's murder as you are. I never had any idea that he was to be killed. I was sent by a man who told me, his name was Brown Allen, to Roswell, to bargain for Crowley's mules. This man told me that he owned lots in Westwood park, and .Ii was to brine Crowley there and he would try to swap him some lots. I did so. Allen met us there and he and Crowley walked around to gether. About twenty minutes later Allen came back and threw me I the pocketi book, feoutainmg til, the ring and the I! watch, and told me he and.

Washington, Nov. 14. In regard to the statement that an effort might be made to conyene the late Legislature of North Caro lina in extra session for the purpose of electing Democratic Senators before the new Legislature could get together and do that worK, tjenator Ransom. said to a United, iress reporter this afternoon: "There is not a word of truth in it and the statement has not the shadow of foun dation. Not a word like it was uttered at the meeting between myself and Senator Gorman and the proposition itself is utterly absurd 1 realize and recoenize that the late election in North Carolina was posi tively adverse to my party, and it is my duty to defer to the verdict of the election." ."If anything further were needed tojshow the absence of foundation of fact in this story, it is found in the second article and twenty-fifth section of the Constitution of North Carolina, which says: The terms or office for Senators and members of the House of Representatives shall fwm Tn on na at the time of their election.' Consequently, it is the new Populist Leeislatn tirt r the defunct Democratic Lmalatn that would convene if an extra session were or dered. This articlejwas construed and sus tained by the Supreme court of the State in the case of Aderholt vs. MclCee, reported ih the Sixty-fifth North Carolina reports. That is sufficient to show the absurdity of the story." A FATAL TRAGEDY. A Tennessee Chancellor Shot and In stantly Killed by the Master of His Court Who Then Attempts' His Own Life. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 14. A tragedy, which has no equal in the records of this State, occurred here shortly after noon to day, when Chancellor Andrew Allison, of the Davidson county- Chancery court, was shot and instantly killed in the court house . by the clerk and master of the same court, George K. Wjhitworth, who, immediately after dispatching Allison, turned his weapon upon himselfiand inflicted a fatal wound. Whitworth had served one term of six years as clerk and master, and was anxious to retain the position, which is worth f 20, 000 a year. Since his incumbency of the -we iiau uveu luxuriously ana was ac counted wealthy. But his term expired two weeks ago, and as the appointment of his successor rested with the chan cellor, the -latter appointed his sonj Granville Allison. Whitworth has since spoken bitterly about Allison. They had not met since. tbe appointment until this afternoon, when Whitworth saw Alli son in a corridor outside the court room. Whitworth called Allison, and when the latter turned around he found himself facing a double-barreled shot gun in the hands of his late clerk and master, who pulled,the trigger, emptying the contents of one barrel into his face and chest. Allison fell to the, floor dead. Whitworth laid the gun inside the court room door, pulled a revolver from his pocket and fired two balls into himself, both in the breast. Until the new appointment great friend ship had existed between the men. Whit worth was instrumental mainly in the elec tion i of Allison, who reciprocated by appointing Whitworth to the clerkship. Both men were members of leading families in this section. . Atlanta Exposition. Contracts. "Atlanta, Nov. ii.
