A won - n c wstiU to t ... believe anything MRS. ROSA HARTSELL FOUND NOT GUILTY. Jury Was Out Little. More Than an , Hour in Making Vf Verdict la Case.-.. ' . Charlotte Observer, 25th. Ths plea of Insanity offered by counsel ' for Mrs. - Ro4a Haatsell, charged with the murder of her hus band, Victor J. Hartsell, stood ber in good stead before the jury which re turned a verdict at 10 last night, ac quitting the defendant. The jury was given the case at 7:30 when court adjourned for supper and came back with its verdict at 10 aftgrbeing out an hour for lunch. - Court. ad journed almost directly after receiv ing tbe verdict, which appeared to find itself approved by the majority of those who heard the rase. Mrs. Hartsell- was placed on the stand among the first witnesses who were examined by the defense. She said that she killed her husband be cause it had become necessary for her to protect -her home and her chil dren against such a character as- he was. She told a vivid story of the killing, evidencing during her stay on the stand the same nonchalance and unconcern as is said to have marked her 'actions since the murder. The case was opened yesterday morninr at 8 o'clock, an hour before the usual time for convening court. A desper ate effort was made to get through with the case, but cmirt did not adjourn until nearly 11 last night, so occupied was it during the day with this horrible and pitiable Story of crime. The defense introduced as experts, nnd their expertness was admitted bv the prosecution. Dr. H. M. Wilder and Dr. W. P. Craven, both of whom testified that they had made exami nations ot. the defendant and gave as their opinion that at the time of killing she was in suck a weak men tal state that she could not discern right from wrong. Other witnesses testified to the strangeness of her con duct since the murder, the spirit of carelessness she has displayed and her titter coldness and callousness in meeting the resultant consequences of the distressing affair. Her ap pearance -in court was tltat of a dis interested nnrtv and this fact nrohn- bly had its effect upon the jnry in adding weight to the direct and cir cumstantial evidence that Mrs. Hart- sell was not in her mind when she kiHed 'Jheeased hoMw beetf8 dec.led that tteaMe-law since.' The contention or the-tierense was such, as to bear heavily upon such an one as Mrs. Hartsell and tbe bur den of crime within the shelter of the home had so oppressed ber that reason temporarily lefand the story of infidelity deranged the woman. ODDS FAVOR WILSON. Lloyds Insurance Premiums. Gov ernor's Speech Pleases Germans. London, Aug. 24. A considerable amount of insurance is still being placed at Lloyds in connection with the American Pesidential election. At Lloyds' the chances of Wilson are considered better than those .of either of his opponents'. Policies are being taken out to pay a total loss in the event of Wilson being elected President at a premium of 60 guineas per cent. . On a like risk, insuring against the return of Taft, the prem ium is 30 guineas per cent. To cover against RoAsevelt's election' the in surance premium demanded by the underwriters is only 20 guineas per cent. - ( . Quite a large amount of business is being transacted at these figures.

Judjre Daniels maUe a-great, and forceful charge to ths grand jury. He took up the most common evils that are teuring down and disrupting so ciety, and pointed out the duty of the grand jury in dealing with them in a clear and direct way. :. Tracing the origin of tbe grand jury and pointing out its duties, Judge Daniels declar ed it to be oneof the most import ant functions of citizens to serve up on such a jury. He implored the jurymen to use justice end intelli gence in considering the matters that came before them, cautioning them "to exercise due care in making their presentments, declaring that bringing a man into court on an nn just and ungrounded charge was as serious a mistake as failure ' to -make a pre sentment when there is just cause ror one. -laking up -t the - various charges against the law Judge Dan- t' carrying a. concealed weapon that the man who disobeyed it should be sent to the county roads. He ex pressed the hope that the legislature would so chans-e the law that it would be impossible for a judge to suspend ludn-mant- in a cava .-Iwim a TmraAiiN was found guilty of carrying a con cealed weapon. "Let such-an- act be passed and let the word go out that it has been passed and I believe crimes in North Carolina will be di minished 50 per cent.," said Judge Daniels. Speaking of the sale of intoxicat ing liquors, Judge Daniels said that the judges- of North Carolina had4meeting. Rev. B. C. Whitley and my- found that three-fourths ': of the crimes that are tried in the courts are tbe result of excessive use of liquor, Its use has increased the cost of courts, blighted homes, filled asylums and county homes, thwarted the ef forts of the ministers and schools and deprived society of having boys grow up and" become useful men. Judge Daniels then traced prohibi tion legislation in North 5 Carolina speaking of how the legislation was taken up step by step, first at selling liquor at certain distances from churches and school houses and later by State-wide act passed by' the peo ple. It is the only law, the judge declared, of State-wide application outside of amendments to the consti tution that was ever passed upon and adopted by ar vote of the people. In reviewing the great prohibition cam paign Judge Daniels said if be had not been in favor of the act after he saw tbe preachers intensely interest ed and the wives and daughters work ing for it he would have changed in order to be. with them. There are nonest men, he declared, who were opposed to State-wide prohibiten as the best remedy for the evil, but they do not oppose the law naw. They say it has been passed by the people and is a law and should be enforced, What are you going to do about.it ally yourself on the side of the school houses and mothers are ally yourself with the blind tigerst "v-V -- y-fy Judge Daniels said thai the blind tigers were the greatest agencies: in tearing down ths work of the church es and school houses and - that , the grand jury could not do a finer thing than; protect the home against the illegal sale of liquor. j -i ., He paid a beautiful tribute to the home, declaring that it was one of the richest and most beautiful herit ages left to us by our Anglo-Saxon forefathers and pointed out in a most convincing and effective way tbe du ties . a man should perform , toward the protection of bis home and so Saking'of "gambling.' JudgeiDan. ielsVid: "I believe that, therVis nol ciety. not any vice in the world that unfits ' a man for success more than gambling. It makes men idlers, loafers- and va grants. If you know of anything like this stop it."--.- . - "Another great enemy of the home is houses of ill fame, where lewd women gather and tempi young men into immoral conduct Some men may stand dissipation, owing to their strong constitutions, but where a man eonunite all the three trims m drink iag liquor, gambling and visiting bouses of. ill fame be ie lost, except for the power of Almighty God U A t Lnrait Amrt ha n ft . ja man's oouL" , Judge Daniels also called attention to child labor and tbe act that snakes it unlawful to work children under thirteen years of age in the mills. He also pointed out the juries duty in visiting the jsil, tbe county borne, chain gang and their report on them. His honor closed his charge by say ing that a community could have just the kind of government its citizens wanted. Every community has the power to drive out tbe idler, tbe blind tiger, and the professional gambler and the vagrant. If a community has a desire to have decent govern ment it ean have it. - I x ' BURNED IN HOME. Mother and Father 'Unable to Beach Child in Burninf Building. Greensboro, Aug. 25. Standing outside their burning home at White Oak mill village, two miles from Greensboro tonight, Mr. and Mi.

All occupants of the house narrowly escatwd death, two members being seriously burned while escaping through the flames. A Statement by Rev. J. S. Harris. I noticed in your issue of the 19th a statement from Rev. Mr. Richardson concerning his meeting at Friendship and ours. I wish to say in regard to our meeting that we an nounced our meeting the third Sun day in July, learning later that the Methodists would hold a meeting at the same time as ours. I received- a letter from friends in No. 9, asking me to come on as we eould arrange our services so as not to conflict with the Methodist . v brethren Brother Whitley anffniyseW-7 attended the Methodist . meeting the first of the week but being tired and weary we decided to rest, they not recognizing our meeting aud also reading a letter published. I wish to say that we did not hold any service in the homes where we went more than family prayer. I wish to say further that the community around Friendship knows that we held services there four years ago. Also Bev. E. P. Har rington and Rev. W. R. Davis. held meetings eight years or more ago, and ever since that time brethren and friends of the same community have wanted us to come back and hold a never were in a community where we were treated more kindly. Taking everything into consideration, we had lorious meeting. Light souls were added to the Church of God. May heaven 's blessings rest upon them and the good people of that community. J. S. HARRIS, Pastor of Mission Baptist Church. Big Lick, August 24, 1912. uore About tne atanaara uu invest igation. Washington, D. C, August 26. Whether the investigating committee will merely probe the charges snd counter charges of the Standard Oil contributions to the Roosevelt fund in 1904, or extend wholesale investi gation into the allegations of the Standard Oil connection with legis lation in congress during the last ten years, was the crux of the situation that confronted the henate today.

Law Passed Effective at Once Pro hibiting the Delivery of Any MiT on Sunday, Except Special Deliv ery MaO. The Law a' Great Bar-, prise. Letters Deposited Will Be Dispatched as Usual. ' Postmaster M. L. Buchanan yester day received a notiee which was re- -eeived by postmasters throughout tbe country on the same day, and which no doubt was as great a surprise ' everywhere else as it was here. - It is as follows: - "That hereafter postoffiees of the first and second classes shall not be . open on Sundays for the purpose of delivering mail to the general public, but this provision shall not prevent the prompt delivery of special deliv- . ery mail." This law is already in effect, and but for the fact that the notiee was not received at this office in time -no patron of the office, not even , those who have lock boxes, eould have , received a single piece of mail yes- . tcrday. Tlie strange thing about this law ' is that it seems to have passed be fore anybody knew it. No publicity ., whatever was given to it, and not even the iost masters dreamed that such a law was contemplated.- ' The law provides that from mid night of Saturday until midnight of , " Sunday no article of mail received at a first or second-class postoffie . shall be "worked" even to the extent ' of placing it in s box, except it be1 of speeisl delivery variety, n that i case it will be delivered as usuaL Ths i law is effective at once, but notiee was not received until the mail yes terday had been distributed into the general delivery compartments and ' into the rented boxes. ' i ' The -new statute does not effect the; dispatching of letters posted, , which will-be Mnt-tthearionwtreine'-as usual, "- "' The above law applies only to first -, and Second class postoffiees, that is offices where the salary of the post master exceeds (2,000 a year. The " postmaster's salary here ie $2,400. - There will go up from all over tbe ' country' one loud long howl,' and bo doubt Congress will repeal the law. at the earliest opportunity. - SHOW YOU, t V i "
