ffIUS HEDRICK Til STILL ON j ST SftLISBURY Resume of the Features of the Noted Trial Last Saturday. Many Sensa t tonal Developments Mark the Proceedings. Great Many Witnesses were Questioned. Mrs. Hedrick Testified. The Line of Defense. Trial in Progress To-day. Qilidnirv. X. C., Nov/ 26.—After ♦v . ]or ,r wearisome days of the trial ' vesterday the famous Hed * i n-v was resumed this morning S will continue throughout tomor r° \ftor much interest was aroused Sat a ,jav of sensations in the 5? tie star witness for the day be- Mrs Hedrick, wife of the accused. Those who expected to hear the do mestic troubles aired in court were dis jointed. for a great portion of such evidence was restricted. She related, however the storv of Whitaker coming in on a train the morning of the homi cVe waving at her and came to the h'ou*e asked to see her, was told by a servant Mrs. Hedrick was not in, later calltVi her over the 'phone to know v,ii • she treated him so. Captain Hed riek's train came in later, she met it, but missed him, went home and he was tl' re They drove to Salisbury and as they passed the Spencer Y. M. r ;he asked to go inside and speak to Whitaker. This her husband re fused and told her he had been told Whitaker was carrying a pistol for him. They quarreled about the domes tic troubles coming to Salisbury and returning. Mrs. Hedrick said on reach- home she was going back to town. He said he would go with her. They quarreled again and her husband said if she loved Whitaker better than him and would sign a paper to that effect they would call their marriage off. She refused. Her husband said: "Well, let's go home and live better and cut this out." Mrs. Hedrick replying: "And we'll talk it over with Whitaker." Then he came down street and the woman said, "here he comes now." He went in the Spencer Clothing Store and Cap tain Hedrick called to him v that his (Hedrick's) wife wished to speak to him. He wheeled around, jerked out his pistol and attempted to fire, but his gun would not shoot. Mrs. Hed rick then said, "run, for God's sake." He ran and was trying to shoot over his shoulder. She had heard deceas ed make threatening remarks, one of which was that he had tried to have Hedrick pushed off the train and let it appear as if he had fallen off. At this juncture there was a cessation in ques tioning by the prosecution and a con sultation. Then came a sensation when A. H. Price, for the State, said: ".Mrs. Hedrick, were you and this young man engaged in a conspiracy against the life of this man on trial?" Mrs. Hedrick is a woman of nerve and immediately replied, "I refuse to answer that question." From that moment the defense had been working on the conspiracy theory, coupled with a plea of emotional insanity with evi dences of self-defense. After Mrs. Hedrick's reply several little tiits occurred between the wit ness and Mr. Price, but she was treat ed with every courtesy. Witnesses were introduced to show threats to take Hedrick's life by Whit aker, and to show that the defendant's mind had not been clear for a month before the killing, that he seemed to be brooding over his troubles. • One of these witnesses was Rev. L. M. Kirs chner, of Spencer, who knew Hedrick T, *eli. but knew nothing of his domestic troubles until this affair occurred. Another sensation was sprung when J-. H. Clement, of counsel for the de fense, made an effort to have the soli citor subpoenaed and put on the wit ness stand to testify to the contents of Wcmef!

The court de cided against the defence and the pa per which had been drewn up was not served on the solicitor. Dave Leonard said Whitaker told him he would give anyone $5OO to kill Hedrick. Solicitor Hammer took Leon ard in hand and before he turned him loose had questioned him pretty'close about some connection with the am bushing of H. Clay Grubb by the negro outlaw Nat Crump. Several witnesses testified that after Hedrick had warned Whitaker to stay away from his house that the deceased had said, "if he ever bothers me I will kill him." At first the opinion prevailed here that Hedrick would have a hard fight but the case up to this time has taken a turn in his favor, tnough so many surprises have been sprung there is no telling what will • bob up before the jury gets the case.

Five thousand Chinamen in New York are striving to make X?hina like the United States. They belong to the Chinese Reform party, which is to China as great as the Republican par ty is to the United States. It numbers millions in China and thousands in ev ery county where Chinamen are to be found. In the United States alone there are close to seventy thousand members. The Chinese Reform party is politi cal. It makes no effort to influence or mingle in the religious discussif ns of China. Its only purpose is to waken China to its commercial possibilities and make it as like the United States as possible. Kang Yo Wei, the founder and Presi dent of the Chinese Reform party, was forced to flee from China eight years ago because of the animosity of the Empress Dowager. He advocated at that time a more liberal government and/ the appointment of a Minister of the Interior whose duty it should be to develop the commercial resources of China. Coming to Victoria, British Columbia, Kang Yo Wei organizeh his party among the Chinamen there. In the eight years that have followed his per sistency and logic have forced a com plete change of opinion in China, even the Empress Dowager herself welsom ing him when he returned there recent ly- Now there are seventeen papers own ed by the Reform p&rty. One is. loca ted in New York, one in San Francisco, one in Honolulu and fourteen in China. Through those papers the purposes of the Reform party reach millions of Chinamen. We in New York send our brothers in the East the news of this country, the progress of commerce and the changes and reforms that take place almost in the business world. From our membership of five thous and in New York we will send hundreds of Chinamen back to China who will teach their countrymen better than we can with uor papers just how to make money.—New York World.

Ansonia, Conn., Nov. 23. —Franklin Farrel, seventy-eight years old, a mil lionaire several times over, head of the Farrel Foundry and Machine Company, was working hard in his dirty mill today, as usual. Mr. Farrel sets an example to old gentlemen who have accumulated a fortune and are inclined to be luxu rious. His theory is that as long as a man works hard he is young and keeps free from the ills that follow senility and too great ease. He "retired" once and rheumatism attacked him; he went to work again, got well and keeps well. His facy and hands grimy, Mr. Far rel was helping his men to move ma shinery in his new foundry today. When the noon whistle blew he went to his fine home for luncheon, but he was at the mill again at five minutes before 1. He thinks it almost eflimi nate to open letters and dictate them and leaves all that to his steno grapher. FORTUNATE MISSOURIANS. "When I was a druggist, at Livonia, M 0.," writes T. J.

A number of horses and cattle and a quantity oi feed stuff were' burned also. It was learned uy the authorities soon after that Minnie Osborne, one of the family of the Mr. Leonard by marriage, had threatened to have revenge because she was loft out in a will by which it seems that mem bers of the Leonard family prospered.
