C FRIDXy, NOVEMBER 16, 1894. THE MYERS TRIAL. BITTER DENUNCIATION THE DEPENDANT. OF E own, ianv Magone, Ed. M. Shepard, John j. iauBon,.wmon stern, and Professor Chas. A. Collin. . Absence from the city prevfented the presence of James C. Carter, Wheeler H. Beckham and F. R. Coudert. i Governor Flower told his Quests that his attention had been called by reputable lawyers to the; apparent omission by the constitutional convention to make pro vision for a continuance of a Legislature of 32 Senators and 128 members after January 1st next, the time at which the new consti tution providing for a Legislature of 50 Sen ators and 150 Assemblymen is to take effect; that the claim had been made to him that because of this omission there could b no eoxtstitarionsr XegislatJvef -body until'IaTeT the election of the 150 Assemblymen and the 50 Senators in pursuance with the pro visions of the revised constitution. The Governor continued: "While at first I was not inclined to.regard the question seriously, I looked carefully at the arguments presented and came to the conclusion that they at least deserved consideration by able lawyers. I was the more impelled to this conclusion by the fact, which was pointed out to me, that practically the only answer made by Messrs. Choate and Root of the constitu tional convention to the criticisms urged was that the new) constitution merely fol lowed the language of the constitutions of 1848 and 1821. In this statement th t.emen were wrong, as anybody can see by comparing the three constitutions. Whether there are more substantial reasons than those urged by Messrs. Choate and Root re mains to be seen. Because there is doubt in the matter I have 'invited you here to seek your advice. 1 want to say at the outset, however, that so far as I am concerned the question of partisan ship or politics is not of the slightest con sideration in the discussion of the matter. Personally and politically, I have no i wish to gratify by any disposition which mav h made of this subject. Officially, however, I have a duty to perform. If in the judg ment of distinguished lawyers like vnnr- selves, there would be grave doubt about the validity of the acts of the Leeislatnra after the first day I of January next, then the question presents itself as to my duty in. calling the present Legislature together in extraordinary isession before Jannarv 1st, so that the necessary legislation for the ensuing year may be enacted by a Consti tutional Legislature. I want you to give this subject your (careful attention and I want your best judgment on it." ii The question was then discussed in all its phases; It was Unanimonslv atrrepd ihut Messrs. Choate and Root were in error whpn they stated that the constitution of 1846 was a precedent for omission of the new con stitution to provide for the continuance of the 32 Senators and 128 Assemblymen in office as the Legislature of the year of !. 1895, as the express saying clauses of the con stitutions of 1846 and 1821 were specifically pointed! out. But on a thorough canvass of the arguments pro; and con it was also agreed,' with substantial unanimity,' that any doubts as to the validity of the acts of such a Legislature during the year 1895 did not present a sufficiently grave emergenc to ustily imposing on the people of the State the burden and the expenses of a extra session of the present Legislature before 1895. . f Mr. Clay's Speech for the Prosecution The Prisoner Compared Unfa vorably With Murrell,.

At! a meeting of the bar of Davidson county this morning resolutions in memory of the dead chancellor and regret for the tragedy were passed. His remains) will be interred to-morrow with much ceremony Further light was thrown on the cause of the tragedy when there was tiled with the county register to-day a deed of assignment signed by Whitworth and in favor of the Fourth National bank, in trust to secure the payment of ?p,Q0Q due the bank by Whit worth. j The property assigned consists, for the most part, of real estate and thorough bred stock, all valued at over 25 000 This leaves no doubt that Whitworth was fin ancially involved. Allison owed him, so ha claimed, some fSQ.QOQ, and on the street the understanding is that this obligation was incurred by A llison in the course ol the recent political campaign, ft is further, asserted that a great part Of 4hia amount Allison refused to reply on legal grounds. Whitworth was incensed that he should have spent this money to re-elect Allisqn and that Allison should then ot only refuse to repay, but should eject Whitworth from his office Allison's failure to pay up also made it necessary for Whitworth to make the as signment which was filed this morning Whitworth has said since the tragedy that ho and Allison could - jjot breath- the same air or.Iive on the same earth. m - I In Pursuit of the Cook Gang.
