Houstonn Va., June .Etizabeth
Loving's second .ordeal came today
iv When the prosecution started out to
prove that the remarkable aacrinoe
j ' she Jnade of her honor to save her la
ther from the death penalty as based
! on falsehood. ' Through . Miss Loving's
- ' closest girl chum, Miss Kidd, the state
C' ald it would PrtWe that she had not
been attacked by Theodore Estes, the
U.young man her father shot down, but
.that the was simply intoxicated by one
: drink of liquor and ' had confided that
. !uch Was the 'case to llss Kldd.
j Miss Loving went, to the Kidd home
, after the carriage drive and there ex
plained to her chum that the one drink
had been too much for her and went
to bed, Had Estes attacked her ft is
. .certain, according to the theory of the
.prosecution, that she would have wept
land told her closest friend to whom
Jshe went In preference to her own
;house. It Is. generally believed in this
'county that ex-Judge Loving will be
acquitted, regardless of the evldencet
on the 'unwritten Ww," ' -
' i ' Whether his daughter was. attacked
or not is of little matter. ; He Jielleves
she had been and that is his. defence, -.,
In delivering his opinion, with regard,
to the admission pf testimony tending
to diaprovs the assertions 'of Miss Lov
ing with regard to the event occurring
,3 on her drive with Bates,' Judge Barks-
- dale said; ,- t "
"To admit such evidence would be
fi" unnatural and unjust. To maintain
; that Mt -prisoner, while-in the heat of
- poAslon, ahoald hare stopped to ln
. vVestlgats the facta would be depriving
- . him of therlght to' plead, "hot blood,"
' and would raise the crime from mtfd-
' slaughter to murder in the first de
gree." ' '' v-
Conflict of Testimony, '
' .'"'Following the opinion of - Judge
A Barkadale the : prosecution put upon
the stand Mr. Mclnnls, who was at
Oak Ridge at the time of the shooting.
The wltneus' was ' closely : questioned
ooncernlng' the physical condition ef
',. the prisoner Immediately after . the
- nhootlng and testified that the only
' difference he noticed In Judge Loving
2 was that his face was ''extremely
red-reddef than t have ever seen It,
even when h was drunk.
will be rwa:ied that witnesses forever the fierce storm
. the defense )iv testified that Judge -t l 1
-Loving's face . immediately after lJ
. tragedy was Tery pale.
The witness said he drove .back
.Iovlngston with the prisoner and that
their conversation was entirely ra
' tional. " It now becomes apparent that

That he had been intimate wltl

never eeea him take a drink was th?

The town of Zebulon; N. C, situ
ated about twenty-five miles from
Raleigh, on the new Norfolk & South
ern Railroad, was visited yesterday
afternoon about 2 o'clock by a severe
cyclone and. hail storm."-
Telephone and telegraph wires
were torn down, so that it was im
possible for any intelligence' of the
occurrence to reach Raleigh last
night. Mr. Thomas P. Lumsden, an
engineer employed by. the Norfolk &
Southern, brought" the news to' the
city this morning.' Mr Lumsden says
that when he reached Zebulon lato
yesterday afternoon the scei)e was one
of fearful destruction.'- Rouses were
down everywhere in the town, some
haabeen moved from -their founda
tions and dropped in another posi
tion, 'and the debris scattered In every
direction.)' There was no one injured,
so far as can be learned at present,
although there were, persons in some
of the stores that were blown down,
The following property'owriers suf
fered loBsea: M. S. Chamblee, new
dwelling nearly finished blown down;
W. L. Wlggs, two new Mores under

Reports from the vicinity say that
the amount of damage will reach a
large figure, but no conservative es
timate has yet been announced as to
the total destruction." One man
states that he saw" the end of a house
moved around 'Into the front yard.
Another says that the trees all around
the town looked like ten-pins : that
had been knocked oyer. Details are
difficult to procure on account of

(Special to The Evening Times.)
Asheville, N. C jfine 27. With
the opening of court this morning
Walker D. Hines, the eminent rail
way lawyer, of New York, resumed
his speech for the plaintiffs In the
action . in t:ie matter of the injunc
tion against reduction of paKsenger
rates' of the Southern Railway before
Judge Pritchard.
Replying to a contention of th't
defendants voiced yesterday hv ex
CodgreBBiharf ' Woodard that much of
the heavy loss of tho Southern by
accldonts and injury win due to tlv
carelessness of the company and the
public ought not to :iave to pny for
them, Mr, Hlnes said this -was a new
idea to him and contrary to the well
established principle of the courts.
The defendants make much of the
assertion that reports to the corpo
ration commission made laut year
show a much smaller net profit tiian
is shown In the bill now presented
by the complainants. Mr. Hines
stated that these former reports were
approximate,' and were clearly stated
to' be such at the time they were
made. .. ) .
Court adjourned at 1 o'clock and re
convened at X Mr. Hines finished his
argument at the morning session, anu
A. P. Thorn began speaking. Mr.
