MARKETS
COTTON STOCKS
New York Cotton Letter.
New York, March 29. The
market has shown the same
general character again today. The
opening was 1 to 5 higher and ac
tive mon'ths sold 6 to 13 net higher
during the morning on reports of
heavy rains in belt during the past
24 hours. This advance took May
into new high ground and was cneck
ed by realizing and prices later eased
oft' from 'the best, but there was no
aggressive selling and the under
tone was generally steady.
London advices were hopeful of an
early settlement of English coal
strike and wage disputes in New
Bedford have been adjusted, but the
market is still more or less exer
cised over the disputes in the do
mestic coal fields and there can be
little doubt that there has been very
exteinsive reduction in long lines
during the week.
The market has taken so much re
alizing and held so well up to the
best prices of season, reflects the
strength of spot situation and the
sustaining influence of record break
ing absorption.

DEAD MAN A STRAXGER
Body Shipped Across Continent
Through a Mistake in Identity.
Parkersburg, W. Va., March 29.
Relatives went today to the rooms
of a local, undertaker to view-the
remains of William P. Foy, tele
graph operator, who was reported
to have died on a train near Provo,
Utah, and whois body liad been
shipped home for burial. Not only
wore the remains not those of Foy,
but they were those of a man who
bore not the slightest resemblance
to him.
No one is able to explain the mys
tery, except that in some way there
has been a mistake in identity.
While the discovery was a great re
lief to the relatives of Foy, it leaves
the undertaker in a dilemma. He
has the body, shipped across the
continent, on his hands. The Foy
family, of course, has abandoned
the plans for a funeral, and there is
no one else to bear the expense of a
burial.

After Warm . Fight Case Is
Continued
(Continued From Page One.)
that he does not run from a fight. He
said he could furnish the reasons if
required. He is not a prohibition
ist himself, but believes in law en
forcement, and as solicitor proposes
to do his "full duty by the people
of tho state.
"There are conditions surround
ing this court," said Solicitor Norris,
"that make it impossible for the
state to get a fair trial. I did not
want to make a request to continue,
and this is the first time I have ever
Insisted on this course, but Silas Ed
wards is here on appeal from the
police court, where he was convict
ed of selling liquor, and he can
renew his bond without a hardship
to himself." All he wanted. Solicitor
Norris said, was a fair hand, and if
Edwards was acquitted 'fairly, the
solicitor would not complain.
Wanted I'm ticiilius.
Mr. W. B. Jones interrupted at
this point to say that he did not
know what the solicitor was re
ferring to, but supposed he had
reference to the jury. His client,
Mr. Jones said, insisted on trial and
he knew no valid reason for con
tinuance. Mr. Annistead Jones
spoke along the same lines, adding
that the court could send out and
get' another set, of jurors.
As to Fair Triitl.
"I don't think the state can get
a fair trial," Solicitor Norris re
peated. "I have information that
I believe is reliable that this man
Edwards is a notorious blind tiger,
in evidence developed in this court
it was shown that liquor was found
in the safe in Edwards' store when
that store was robbed some time
ago. One of the Edwards boys
served a term on the roads for sell
ing liquor, Edwards has a Tedrtil
retail liquor license in his posses
sion. ' '
niind Tigers.
"The reason I did not want to
have the case set for today or any
particular day was that I did not
want to have blind tigers and their
sympathizers pack this courthouse.
On the jury panel there are men
who do not believe in prohibition
and are biased. ,. Tliey are as good
men in other respects as any of us;
they are not corrupt, but biased. I
am not criticising them. The de
fense has all the advantage in se
lecting the jury.' Edwards appealed
from the courthouse in the hope that
a Wake county jury would find him
not guilty of selling liquor."
Sympathizers On Jury.
Solicitor Norris said he believed
the counsel for the defense would
get men on the jury who would not
convict. He had every reason to be
lieve that the jury is biased against
the prohibition law, and the state
would go into the case under such
conditions defeated at the outset.
The solicitor said there was not a
man in the courthouse who did not
know the difficulty of getting a fair
jury. "
"Silas Edwards has a federal re
tail liquor dealer's license, comes
from a family of means, and his
place has been an eye-sore to this
community, and the people want to
see it go. There is no occasion for
a great array of witnesses from Zeb
ulon, If Edwards is a man of char
acter, he should prove it by reputa
ble people who live here where he
does business."
Thought it Henmrkuhle.
Mr. Armistead Jones, replying,
thought the solicitor's speech rather
remarkable. He personally did not
know any blind tigers or sympa
thizers sitting about the court room.
Mr. Jones said he was solicitor for
ten years and had never seen the
solicitor and jury stormed by blind
tigers and their sympathizers.
Prohibition.
"You never had such conditions,"
Solicitor Norris Interrupted.
"Yes we did, but I voted against
prohibition and you voted for it."
"For that reason," the solictor re
plied, "I am better able to see the
error of that vote." Before this state
ment, Mr. Norris had said that the
dispensary was preferable to present
conditions.
Trought Jury Good.
Mr. Jones thought the jury was a
good-looking set of men, and de
clared there was no foundation for
the charge that he was so shrewd
as to have the case set for today in
the hope of getting a benefit. In
defense of his client, Mr. Jones went
on to say that the array of wit
nesses from Zclmlon was not to prove
the character of Edwards, but was to
show that the character of a state's
witness he did no'.'name hlni was
bad and unworthy of belief.
Hits Character.
Solicitor Norris informed the court
that the witness whom Mr. Jones
was denouncing had as good men as
there are in this county to prove hla
good character. The defense of Ed
wards In the police court, the solici
tor declared, "was an alibi. That
alibi was 'busted' all to pieces, and
they come here now and try to break
a man's character. Edwards lives In
this city, and it will work no hard
ship on him to have the case con
tinued, Judge Webb Speaks.
"It Is very evident to my mind,"
commented Judge Webb, 'that this
case ought not to be tried in the
