Straight, Who conducts a flour and feed store, and his wife have not lived "together for the! past few weeks, on account of domestic difficul ties. This morning Mr. Straight sent a note to his wife, asking her forgiveness and re questing her to take him back again. I She failed to reply. ; This; angered the husband and he purchased a revolver of five cham bers, although h e already h ad one of j like pattern. This afternoon he saw his wife and her sister, Mrs. Mary Whitford, in the business part of the city and dogged their movements until they were within 100 feet of their home, when he ran up behind them to within ten feet and emptied the contents of one revolver at them both. He then de liberately drew forth his other weapon and fired again at Mrs. Whitford. After firing the iast shot he 'remarked: I "I guess I've fixed both of you," and sitting down on a horse block emptied the other four cham bers into his body near the heart. t Meanwhile a crowd gathered in the vicinity of the tragedy, but no or.e dared go near him. Straight realized that they were afraid of him and shouted that he would not hurt anyone as he had killed those he was after. Neighbors then removed j all parties to the house, j Mrs. Straight was shot three times in the back, the balls lodging in the abdominal cavity and base of the lungs. She died at 7 o'clock, this evening. Mrs. Whitford was shot twice, one ball piercing the arm and lodging in the posterior side of thorax, the other shattering the spinal column near its' base. She is still alive but sinking rapidly. The murderer was removed to the Arnot- Ogden hospital and retained conciousness for several hours He graphically described the murder to the district (attorney. He is now unconscious and death is but a ques tion of a few hours. The parties are all well known, respectable citizens of Elmira and the tragedy has created great excitement. tun's Cotton Keview.

N. C, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, MYERS GONVIGTED. HE HE A.RS THE VERDICT WITHOUT FLINCHING. His Father Sitting Beside Him More Affected Than the Defendant The Closing Argument of Mr. Moyers A Most Eloquent Plea for the Prisoner The Hypothesis or Defence as toil Brown Allen. Atlanta, Ga., Jiov. 16. William J. Mvers. charged with the murder of Forest L. Crow ley, was found guilty this aftertioon. There was no recommendation to meres'. Judge Clark concluded! his charge at 3 o'clock this afternoon. At 4:20 o'clock the) jurors filed into the court room, and a mind te later their verdict was read, I j Scarcely any one left the room while the jury was out. Five hundred spectators were crowded into the; court. They felt that they would not haye long to wat. Many women were in the crowds-, When the verdict was announced many of them sobbed.. They sympathized with the 18-year-bld murderer. Myers is a fine-looking fellow. He was a member of thej city's crack inilitary comt pany, the Gale City Guards, and in his uni form presented ai dashing figure. The prisoner took the verdict without ap parent emotion, i His father, who sat beside him, held the boy by one hand. The elder Myers quivered at though sbaken by a chill when the clerk of the court read: "We. the jury, find the defendant guilty!." The son looked into his father's face and then his eyes seemed to beij looking into space. He did not utter a word. His lips did not tremble, i He seemed to be prepared for the verdict, i j! i When the case was resumedjthis morning Mr. Moyers, the leading cotinsel for thej prisoner, began the last speech of the trial J Having introduced no witnesses other than! the prisoner, the defense had the closing argument. Every lawyer who had pre-j ceded Mr. Moyers made- a strong,, telling speech. When Mr. Moyers lhad finished even me lawyers wno were onnoserl tr him declared that hiss was the greatest speech! ever delivered in that court housa. After a brief re vie w of the case Mr. Movers said: j ' I! . - , 1 When this boy made his statement h told the truth, and nothing but the truth. ne tells tlie truth when he savs: 'I hud no idea that Forest Crowley was to be killed.' How do I prove this? Why.pwhen Myers and Crowley left old man Crowley at the car shed, who objected to old riian Crowley's going out to Westwood park? It was not Myers, but Forest Crowley. Old man Crow ley said so himself on the stand. Did Mvers intend to butcher old manliCrowlev too? And vet these men want this voune man i hanged. Was there anythingpniore natural ' than for Myers to carry Crowljey out thert? 1 He wanted to swap the mules;! and that was the place Brown Allen had told Myers to brine Crowley. He is hunting for a spcrpt. place to kill this man and takfcs him out to westwood park a park divided into hits. with a keeper. What poorer place ronld there have been for such a deed?" Mr. Moyers took up the Question of tracks and recalled the evidence as !to.the tracts. Mr. Seaborn Crowley had said that one track led from thai back of the buggy and theother from the front of thie buggv. .now, l ass you, could one ot the tracks, if two men pot out of the buggv, lead from the front of the DUey and the" other from the rear." I i Mr. Moyers said that the mud on Mvers' pants was below the knee. j: "And solicitor Hill holds u'n the clothps with ail the dramatic tervorlof Mark An tony holding up he bloody! garments of Casar and cried: I Behold tlie mud is on Myers' clothes.' Iow is it that there is no blood on Myers clothes?" j Air. Aioyers sentS out for the pistol in the case and there was a pause pending its ar rival, f Ii 'They tell you that with that pistol this boy shot Forest Crowley. Itii was in the power of the State to haye a post mortem examination. You could have found the ball in the dead man's face or head, and you did not do it. f You could have fitted the ball to the pistol. If it did not fit, who could say that the man committed the murder? They said that they did not want to mutilate the facfe of the dead man. Or were they afraid that the ball mieht not fit and that this man might be acaaitted? Is it possible this State would refuse to muti late a dead man's face for the sake of the risk of hanging a Jive one-an innocent one? 1 "And what are vou eivins us about this 'Brown Allen' sign? They tell us that this murderer hurried away and poised himself in the doorway of a stqre, squinted around a telephone pole add invented the name of '.Brown Alleu.' Vhy, Myers knew the name 'Brown Allen' as well as any one. There may be no 'Brown Allen.' but as sure as I stand before you, that man was a per sonality, that 'BroJwn Allen' is the man that killed Forest Crowley. . in it. A messenger came td the Sultan of Turkey and said: j'Sir, an officer has just fallen out of the barracks ; window and broken his neck.' i - " -Find the wonjan in the ease-.' " 'There is no woman in the case.' " 'Find the woman in the case' insisted the Sultan. "The messenger went and returned after a while and said: 'You are right, 'sir, a beautiful woman ypas just passing along the street and. he fell out of the window and broke his neck.' jRo I believe in this case. The law is that if any other reasonable hypothesis can be built, explaining the murder, you must turn the defendant loose." Mr. Moyers built the hypothesis that a personal enemy had, used Myers as a cat's paw and had revenged himself noon Forest Crowley. "I say to you, outside of deteo tives, you look back into the past history of Forest Crowley's life for a mortal enemy and you will find 'Brown Allen.' " Mr. Moyers peroration was one of the most effective ever heard in a co&t room in Atlanta. ! Me said:! "Last night when J went home I thoueht of the great responsiDility which rests upon me in this case, and arose, and standing by a window, looked out upon the landscape, fast fading in pa dask o the evening. As I looked, I saw a faint glimmer in the East. I saw a star, bright, lustrous, beautiful; suca a etar as led the wise men from the East to the lowly manger; such a star as shone above His headMn the hour of agony, and as I locked 1 heard the rustlics; of a white robe and near my side I heard a tiny yoice say: 'God bless mama and, papa and everybody in ! the world. Make me a good gW and p'-ess Willie Myers.' May fiat great God look over you and guide you m me great rtsponsioiuty wnicn rests upon -rrnri ii . When the lurors withdrew ,M vers was taken into a private room, where he awaited the result. When it was all over the sheriff took him away to the iail. A great crowd thronged the streets about the court house so that it was difficult to march the prisoner through it. . .!: - -, . Canvassing the Vote. Columbia, 3. C., ;Noy. 16.

In stocks only 166,fJ0O shares changed hands,- while the transactions in bonds fell to f 1,09P, 000. The market was enlivened one time by a drp in the anthracite coalers, Reading falling to 16J, Jersey Central to 91i, Del aware ahd Hudson to 123J and Lackawanna to 158i.f The final quotation of the latter was 155 bid and 159 asked. The stand taken by the independent coal operators had a de pressing influence. As it is, the coal trade can hardly be called prosperous, and it is questionable whether this latest devel opment will improve matters. Manhattan was again lower, selling down to 1034. the recent unfavorable annual report and the retirement of J. Piermont Morgan from the directory inducing sales for both ac counts. Sugar was less active and ranged between 86J and 88. There was some sell ing of the stock on unconfirmed rumors that a reduction in the dividend rate was contemplated. Something definite about the matter is expected next week. Tobacco was conspicuous for a break from 100 to96. Later, there wa s a recovery to 79 to 99J. Very little attention is paid, however, to the gyration in this specialty. Chicago Gas and General Electric were a shade easier, but the dealings in them were on a small scale. The importation of gold by the Bank of British North America had no influence. Opinion was divided as to whether this gold had been imported in connection with the new Government loan or the one recently placed by the Dominion of Canada in London. A report that the Raphaels of London had authorized John R. Dospassos to fight the Earle-Olcott Reading reorgani zation p?an hurt this stock this afternoon. In the last hour the market was steadier in tone. Net change3 show losses of J to 5 per cent. American Suear eained S.

Commission hnnspo who were known to be long of wheat for foreign account sold some of their holdings to day, but there was hardly any outside orders in the market other than those to day. Still the bujing and selling was not of diminutive character. Ream and other local professionals of recognized standing taking part in the operations,smetimes to a liberal extent. Prices kept within a range of ic until shortly before the session e.ame to a clos, when they struck puts for an in stant, but rebounded quickly to yesterday's ciose, wnere tney nnaiiy rested. J he tone was varied and irregular, with evidence that there was an inclination to sell on spot. May opened from 61 to 60?c, declined to 60ic, rallied and closed at 60gc unchanged from yesterday. Cash wheat was dull and about 4c lower. The increased movement seems to be on corn and to be telling ou prices. No other excuse or reason Iwas voiced for the lower prices which ruled in this market to-day. Cah corn was quiet and ic lower. xne price ot oats found a supporter in the oatmeal trust who were evidently opposed to anything in the shape of a decline and were buying sufficient quantities to sustain the market. The trade, however, was not large and attracted no attention Cash oats were easy, "sales averaging about ic lower. . Some of the vigorous buyers of yesterday in product were meekly disposing of what they had accumulated during that session to day. ihe trade were generally disposed to view the situation in a different light from that prevailing yesterday and to ac cept it as a self-evident truth that with enor mous receipts of hogs there was but little sense in booming that animal's product. Prices Jollied some frojn the extreme low point, the close, however, showing January pork 12Jc lower than yesterday. January lard 5c lower and January ribs 7i to 10c lower. -' FROM THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL Court Invitations to the Funeral The tiiy Crowded With Visitors The Czir Riding Ont Unat tended.

He droye through the streets in an open victoria, unattended, yesterday evening and was cheered on all sides. It is not yet known whether the marriage of the Czar to Prin cesji Alix will be public or private. A ma jority of the imperial family and immediate relatives connected with other courts are in favor of having the marriage solemnized with all possible pomp and display, though it is understood that the Caar himself is op posed to this. Tha coronation of Emperor Nicholas II. will take place in Moscow next summer. Bradstreet's Heport, New Yoek, Nov. 16. BradstreeV to-mor- rowlwill say: Perhaps the most conspicuously favorable feature of the general trade situa tion is found in numerous reports from merchants and manufacturers throughout the country of a disposition to regard the business outlook more encouragingly and with increased confidence in an early im provement in trade. . Even in many por tions of the Southwest and South advices from f, he interior are that the country mer chant is doing an increased volume of busi ness, based on. favorable weather and large crops. This is the more striking in view of the continued reports of the unfavorable effect on trade South of the low price of cot' ton. From Georgia it is learned that fer tilizer manufacturers Ijaya arranged to cur tail their qtpt he'it' season, in some iniianees'as much as 40 per cent. Among larger Eastern cities, Phi.iad?l phia, Pittsburg and finffftlq report a moder ate improvement n same commercial and rnanufacturingines. Among Southern cities, New Orleans re ports relatively the greatest gain in volume of business, notably in grocenes, shoes 'nd dry goods, and improvement $s noted at Memphis and a good yolume at Jacksonville aloa. he least favorable situation is announced by Galveston, with collections quite unsatis factory and some interior merchants asking for extensions. Chattanooga, too, reports trade duller and collections slower, due to cotton being withheld from marketi There is a fair moyemeni of merchandise at Atlanta and Savannah, but at Augusta jobbing is dulu Business in most lines is reported very quiet at Birmingham, and at Charleston and, except fo hojiJay goods, at NashYig. ; 1 be Official Vote of Virginia.

Spears and Cheatham Will Contest the Elections in Their District! To Be Cpmt-Martialed for , Not Paying Bis Debts No i f ederal Aid for Bandit Bidden People of i Indian Territory I Possible; Washington, Noy. 16. Commander Fred erick R. Smith, who was placed on the re tired Jist of the navy two years ago and has since presided at Leesburg, Va., will be tried by court-martial next week on two charges viz; Scandalous conduct and disobedience of orders. The scandalous conduct charge alleges that he refused to pay his just debts and the other that he failed to make reply to the department's order to explain his conduct. Secretary Herbert has ordered the fourth payment to be made upon United States gunboat No. 7, which, with two similar war vessels, are building at Newport News, Va. As the payments for these vessels is divided inty twenty parts, one of which will be re served until six months after completion, No. 7 is considered about one-quarter com pleted. - The State Department has received official information that a special meeting of the Japanese Ministry has been called for to morrow to consider a final answer to the offer of the United States to -mediate be tween China and Japan. The delay thus far is explained by the fact that the Cabinet meets at Tokio while the Emperor, who has had to be consulted, is at Hiroshima. Strong intimations have reached the offi cials here that the Cabinet will ask that China either makes her offer direct to Japah or else free it from all doubt by specifying the exactamountof indemnity she will pay. The Indian Office is doing nothing in the' matter of the telegrams received from the Indian agent at Muscogee, Indian Territory, regarding the Cook gang of desperadoes. He has been informed that the troops he is so loudly demanding cannot, under the law be sent into Indian Territory. It is stated at the Indian Office that the whole affair is one with which the agent need not concern himself, as it is under the jurisdiction of the courts. The Indian Office has ghen him permission to use the Indian police in co-operation with the United States mar shals, but further than this, he has no jurisdiction.
