THE McDOW TRIAL. THE EXAMINATION OF WITH ESSES Continued at Charleston In the Case of the Trial Dr. McDow for the Murder of Oapt Dawson, j The McDow trial was resumed Tuesday morning. The courtroom was filled and popular interest unabated. John H. Dev ereaux, Henry Oliver and Mike Hogan were examined by state to establish Mc Dow s attempt to bury Captain Dawson's body after shooting. Evidence on thig oint was overwhelming. The state thus far hn established beyond Question the fact t at W D w . hllOT DAWfiON IN THE BACK, ind the fact that he tried to bury the body. THE FRENCH MAID'S EVIDENCE. The evidence of Marie Bardayren, Mrs. Dawson's French maid, was the feature of the McDow murder trial today. She was brought here by Mrs. Dawson from Genvea, Switzerland, two years ago as a governess for tier children. She is twenty years old and a handsome brunette, with dark hair and eyes, an in telligent face and well developed form. She attracted the attention of every spectator in court. She understands English, but speaks it imperfectly. An effort to have her testify through an in terpreter was objected to by McDow's council and she spoke -English. Her manner was collected and j throughout the ordeal she bore herself I WITH AN Alii OF INNOCENCE. She successfully combatted all at tempts of .Judge Magrath, McDow's council, to elicit something! that would weaken her testimony. Her; tirst meet mg'with McDow, she testified, was on the 1st of last February. He met her on the stieet and asked her to ri,in away with hi in. She told him she would not do it; die would not leave Mrs. DaWsou for anything. He met her quietly on the street alter that and persecuted her with his attentions, when she was going to school with Captain Dawson's children. He visited her several times at CaptaiD Dawson's house, when.' Mrs. Dawson was iu Washington and Captain ; Dawson wa;, it his work, in the Isews land Courier alhcc. ; IIE SENT HER FLOWERS Aip TOETRY and gave her a watch to remember him by. He told her that he had married a German woman for her. money; that his married life was unhappy, and that he wanted her to run away with him. Mc Dow told her that he could not get a di vorce from his wife in Charleston, but would take witness to North Carolina, and after securing a divorce! would marry her. She gave McDow a book bearing title ''Betwixt Love and Law.''' She had never read it, but knew about what its contents were. It was, she said, a story ibout a married woman iu love with a man. In her case the situation was re versed, and was a case of a married man in love with a womon. McDow had taken a photograph from her. AND HAD KISSED HER ''TWO TIMES" nul "only two times." She knew that McDow's conduct toward Jut was not proper. She had never told any of Cap tain Dawson's family about the affair. She did not love McDow. She felt for his misfortune and she had j a feeling of kindness for him. She believed if she had given herself to him he would have supported her. She believed it while he was talking to her. The woman's story was told without excitement. She shrugged her shoulders, as is usual with French women, when she did not understand a question, but made a good impression by her conduct on tlu stand. MC DOW ON THE STAND. The only living witness to the murder of F. W. Dawson told the storg of the tragedy on the witness stand Wednesday. It was the murderer himself, T. B. Mc Dow. The courthouse was packed, as usual. The-first witness was A NEGRO DRIVER, .lamed Harper, who was in his carriage lox, neat McDow's office, at the time of the murder. He saw Dawson enter the office, and after four rive minutes heard a pistol shot, then two groans, a gurgling voice, followed by an excited voice, say ing: "You said 3-011 would take my life, uow I have taken yours." j MCDOW ON THE STAND. Then the prisoner was put oa the wit ness stand by his counsel and told a story of the tragedy. At tirst lie! evinced ad is Kjsition to go on in his own excited way, but his lawyer checked him aud brought it out slowly, with leading questions. His story was that Dawson rang his of fice bell alnmt twenty minutes to foui o'clock. Witness opened (the door and invited him in. Dawson sid: "I've just been- informed of your ungentlemanl conduct to one of my servants." Witness replied: "It is; untrue that 1 have been ungentlemanly to one of vout servants." I felt indignant at his man ner. ! "' Dawson replied: 'I give you to iinjder stand that I dm responsible for that jkt son , (meaning the govenu-ssj, and w ill hold you personally n-spoBsibfe.'' Witness replied that he would speak to her whenever he pleased. ''1 you do." repliejPDawson, "I'll pub lish your conduct jdthe paj?rs." "And if you .do. you infernal scoun drel, repliedthe witness, "I'll hold you personally responsible. Get out of rn office." lipn this, witness said, Dawson struck his hat off with his cane and slapped biro, knocking him across the lounge. Then Daw sou la pi cd him again, and witnes then drew his pistol and shot him. Witness dJuV not ee. whether Dawsoc was confronting him or not, he only knew that he was in front of him. After being shot, Dawson turned and laid while falliDg "you've killed me." Witness replied you tried to take my life, and now I've taken yours." WnEN DAWSON FELL he went up to him, felt his pulse and straightened his Ixxly out on the floor. He explained his subsequent action of trying to dig a grave and bury the body by saying that the circumstances were SO APPALLING that he scarcely knew what he was doings He claimed that he fired the fatal shot in 6elf defense. Witness admitted that he habitually carried a pistol. The intrigue with the governess was not touched upoi in the direct examination. j Dr. R. A. Kinlock was the first witness called by the State Thursday morning. He exibited an embalmed model and ex plained the -flight of the ball and the di rected of the wound. He corroborated the opinion of the surgeon who made the autopsy,, that Dawson was shot while his back was turned to the prisoner. He said it was absolutely impos.-ible' to account for the wound in any other4way. John Hogan, a detective, testified that he had taken McDow from the police station to the jail on the night of the murder. SHOT HIM TO KILL. Witness asked McDow where he shot Dawson and McDow said: "I shot him to kill, and I'd clo it again. I know where to shoot to kill. I learned that in my profession." The State then moved to have the jury visit the premises where the murder was committed. Counsel for the defense re sisted the motion, and argument was held. The tourt refuse I to allow the jury to go Diit. Surgeon Mitchell was recalled1 aud sxami'ued on some surgical points. THE AIIOUMENT It EG UN. This closed the testimony and the argu ment opened. THE ARGUMENT r.F.GUN. Solicitor Jervey opened tlu; argument for the prosecution. lie spoke for two Uours, and apparently made a good im pression. The audience applauded when Mr. Jervey denounced .Mellow for sneak .ng around to' Capt.' Dawson's house when ihu Captain was absent. FRIDAY. Asher D. Colieu and Judge Magrath iddressed the jury in the McDow mur ier case in behalf of the prisoner. Roth isked that their client be acquitted on ;he ground of self-defense. Mr. Cohen ascertained thas the prison- Jrhad already suffVied surlicient" punish- j nent, and that he was a changed man. Sir. Cohen beseechod the jury to let McDow return to his wife, "to be bap tized iu the tears of their little girl into 1 nobler audj-better life." SATURDAY. The jury in the McDow case were out this afternoon for two hours and then re turned a verdict of not guilty. Appointment of "William Walter Phelps, of New Jersey.

No country excels North Carolina for goad timber, but in the upper part of the State especially fine walnut and other good timber was allowed to rot in the fields or was rolled into heaps and burnt. Believing it could be put to valuable use with profit to us, 1 wrote anil had pub lished more than a dozen years ago, an article of several columns 111 which I ile Bcribed the quantity ami qualities of these timbers. The publication immediately caused a rmh of speculators to this region who began to purchase the right to the growing timber on the lands. As an amusing illustration of the ex tent to which this operation was carried I will mention this incident: After the rush of speculators had been going on several months, I was sitting in the ev ening with three strangers from New York. One of them said: 44Ve have come here for nothing." Another re plied: "Yes, we have been deceived, and may as well start back." I said to them: "Gentlemen, will you tell me what you come for?" "Why," they answered, "we came here to buy walnut timler." "Well," said I, ''and do you not find plenty of timber here?" "Yes," they answered; "but it is all bought up." "Then," I replied," your case is like mine. At the end of the war, being in want of money, I read there was a great deal of money on Wall street, in the city of New York. Thereupon I went up there to get some. On arriving I found it, was true there was a great deal of money there, but that a set of greedy fellows had gotten it, and I could not obtain it from them. So I was as un lucky as you have leen." They being Wall sln eters did not en joy my joke. But millions of dollars have leen brought into our State for the timber sold.
