For four weeks and a half the judge and jury have remained In the heated court room under condi tions that were trying.

The Testimony. He advised the jury that testimony had been submitted not onlv as to lacts within the witnesses own knowledge, but to opinions and men tal conclusions based upon knowledge or observation. The court advised tnc jury that this kind of testimony is wisely admitted to aid them but is not binding.

(Special to '1 no 'limes.) Lexington, !s. C, July 12 - I lie so called --white slave case was given a preliminary hearing bolero' Mayor John H. Mover Monday altornooii and it resulted In a victory for tho prosecution. The defendants, Charles Noell and his wife, Jamie Noel, were bound over to court under bonds ot $200 each. In hxing the amount ot bond Mayor Mover said that he look into consideration the iact that. it. would probably be hard tor the dc tendants, having no money and with no influential friends, to give anv bond at all. For both sides the case was admir ably conducted. Mr. John C. Hower, one ot the most brilliant, young altor nevs in this part of the state, renre scnted tae state and he was opposed by that hardened veteran of a thous and battles, Gen. Zeb Vance Walscr, who conducted the defense with the skill and eloquence that made him famous throughout, the state many years ago.

Tue caso was brought under that section of the rcvisal ot lilt) making it a felony, punishable by im prisonment in the state prison for not more than fifteen years, to abduct a female child under fourteen years ot age. The Kindley child has parsed tourtcen and the Gibbes girl is not vet fourteen, and In her case, tho ac tion came under the statute. 'Micro was no prosecution In the caso of the Kindley girl, who really looks to be the younger of the two. The first witness called was Mr. H. E. Gibbes, father of the abducted girl. He testified that ho was mar ried in 1896 and that the girl was born In 1897. She, will be fourteen years old next November. He said that he did not give Ills permission for her leaving and that it was not asked. The child went away while he was off at work. He telegraphed to Chief Chrlstenburg, of Charlotte, to look out for the girls and for Noell and went to Charlotte the nex. morn ing; and found his child. Clara Gibbes, the intonded victim of the abductors, followed and she made a wonderful witness. She was too quick for even the veteran ex-Attorney General and led him a pretty chaso. She told of meeting with Noel and his wife. Mrs. Noel asked her several times to go to Charlotte with her and pormlsed her "a nice time, nice clothes and plenty of money." When asked as to what she was ex pected to do to secure all this, Mrs, Noell told her that she would have to (Continued on page Three.).
