A STATEMENT" IS ISSUED TODAY Former Alleged Deficit a “Monumental Humbug.”—' Will Not Discuss It Further Till Gov. McLean Returns. 1 (By tlir Associated Pranl Charlotte. Aug. 6.—Former Governor Cameron Morrison, of North Carolina, ] entered the lists again today in defense of the financial phase of his administra tion as chief executive. The State auditdr's statement does Apt justify the assertion that the Morrison administration's deficit was $3,123,320.22 he declared in a statement issued here. While stating he would forebear to en ter further into the deficit question which is termed a "monumental humbug." un til the return of Governor Angus W. Mc- I.ean after liis vacation, Mr. Morrison discussed the question in the statement. | There is qo official declaration that the i $3,123,320.21), the debit balance, occurred during any particular administrtion, the former Governor said. He continued: "How much of it occurred during the Morrison administration, and how much of it during the last six months under the McLean administration is not stated." “The accumulation debit balance of 1 $3,123,320.22 is subject to large credits which are not carried to Auditor Dur ham's office, to-wit all taxes in arrears ' for last year and year before. This will be a large amount and I purpose to show the people in my next statement the prop erty and assets other than cash brought ti])on the general account and which is determining what real deficit as of June 30th was, should be taken into account. "For instance. 1 am informed that ' about half a million dollars was on an ’ item charged as a deficit from the peni tentiary ns of June 30. Os course, this is only a cash deficit and is subject to credit of the pro(>erty which the peniten tiary owned at this time, and this will amount to hundreds of thousands of dol lars. "I will endeavor in the next statement, after the return of Governor McLean to the state, to show the people what a monumental humbug this whole deficit ac count lias been. 1 do not know that Governor McLean will desire to pay any attention to the statement when made, but 1 feel he should have an opportunity to, if he desires.” CHINA GROVE PEOPLE HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Car With Party of Ten In It Gets Out of Control Near Rutherfordton.

SPIRITUAL HEALING A FACT So Declared by Joint Commission of the Episcopal Church in Report to Be Presented *at General Convention in Fall. New York. Aug. i>.—Spiritual healing is an outstanding fact of contemporary religious life, declares the report of a joint commission to be presented to the general convention of the Episcopal Church at New leaps Qetober. Christian healing. ’ says in its report: "Tlie commission finds a rapidly in creasing desire that the church confirm the belief that there is therapeutic value in tlie Christian religion. Religious and material means for cure must go hand in hand in ministry to the sick. It is of ten difficult to tell where the one leaves ■off and the other begins. Faith in God and fail’d in physician must be blended for best results. Both minister and j physician know that the power of lieal !ing is something apart from themselves; ■that their function in healing is to assist Iby restoring the conditions-—physical, moral and spiritual under which this I power may best operate. A fundatnen | tal principle is that God works and man works. Experience teaches that God does not do for man What man is cap able of doing for himself: that man's failure can thwart the accomplishment of God's purposes. Thus faith finds its appropriate place in co-operation with the law of God.” The report abounds in striking phrases. “Sin is personal,” it says, “and it effects the physical as well as the spiritual na ture of man. Disease is physical; but it, too, lias its reaction on the soul ana on the intellect,”; “By creation man is an inseparable unity cf soul and body.” “Religion and medicine must go hand in hand in min -1 istry to the sick.” “The co-operation -of man and God is a necessary part of ' the process of healing.” i There is an indirect reference to the Christian Science Church in the follow t ing extract from the report: “We are ‘ challenged as to whether we shall allow ' this essentially Christian ministry to be sought outside, or whether we are to : make it a normal part of the church's - life. We must see to it that we do 1 not afford a basis for another separatist movement, but should realize that the ’ healing ministry is normal to the life of the church,” While the report contains no formal recommendation for specific action, some definite ones be made to the convention.

THREE HOURS IS GIVEN EACH SIDE Dr. Krohn Said That Scott’s Refusal to Submit to An Examination Was Evidence of His Sanity. (By the Associated Press) Chicago. Aug. fi.—The State today cmiluded i,s efforts to prove Russell Scott safie. I)r. William O. Krohn. the last prose cutiton alienist, told of his examination of Scott and his conclusion that the prisoner was sane. He repeated stories of the four previous state aliefiists, that Scott declined to submit to an examina titon in the jail. Three hours were allotted to each side i for the closing ax-guments. If the full I time is used, the case will not go to the Ijury before tomorrow night. Dr. Krohn said Scott’s refusal to sub | mit to an examination was evidence of j his sanity. His conduct was in every respect logical and rational and clearly indicated that he was cognizant of his predicament, and sought to act in ac cordance with definite instructions from his attorneys. Dr. Krohn was not cross examined. W. W. O'Brien began the closing ar gument for the defense. The State used 15 witnesses and five alienists all of whom expressed the belief that Scott is sane. Testimony of five alienists will consti tute the case for the defense. O’Brien attacked the expert testimony of the State and told the jury that the fifteen minute examination of Scott on which they based their opinion was un fair and ridiculous. "They silt there on the witness stand and told you they expected SIOO a day for their testimony. Gentlemen, I won’t ' say the evidence was bought but I will say under the law it was paid for.” tiMPWKjrttK* due to liis long incarceration under the shadow of the gallows. His condition was described as border line type of insanity which experts could identify only after long examination. O’Brien closed his address in forty minutes. Assistant State Attorney Harry A. I’ritzker made the first argument for the State. William Stewart for the defense and William Rittenhouse. for the State, will close for their respective sides. Pritzkei- recalled that the defense alien ists had testified they found Scott's phys ical and nervous system unimpaired, and stressed the conclusion that therefore all opinions as to the prisoner’s insanity were based merely on what Scott had told defense doctors. “He told the doctors large stories about his business in Canada and his perpeoufTon in the jail. But the State brought in the jailers who were with hini sixteen months in the jail who told you Scott never breathed a word about pei'secution.” JURY WILL DETERMINE RUSSELL SCOTT’S CASE There Will Be No Appeal From Case Called to Determine His Sanity.
