From time to time the State papers have had something to say about the class of lawyers known variously as shysters and buzzards, who, as soon as a person is killed or dangerously injur ed by a railway rush to the home and get the case, oftentimes taking chan ces, charging no fee but agreeing to take half of the damages which may be received. 0 d lawyers, reputable men, are often heard to express surprise that these things go on and yet are loath to take the proceedings necessary to dis bar people who do these things, but at last there is to be a test case, brought hef ore the Supreme Court and pushed by an eminent lawyer which wiil jar not a few of the shysters in North Carolina, The case is now being pre pared and a lawyer who is behind it sayc something will drop and fall very hard.

WHIM, I i kju- preme Court today there was a hearing of two cases which are without aparal lelin North Carolina in which tw roung men who successfully-passed their ex amination to be attorneys at thf recent examination of that character had their papers held up and had toawai a hear ing, upon very grave charges. One of them is Hiram Baggett of . fmpaon county, who is charged with perjury and fraud in connection with trie burrfJ. ing of a house and the collection of the fire insurance thereon in July of last year..v Againrt him Henry A Grady appeared, while he was represehted by E. W. Kerr, Jv C; Clifford and H. L. Godwin. The other case is that qf Ber nice C. Tavis, from Forsyth cousty, he being charged . with 'usury - in lending money at excessive interest For him appeared L. M. Swink, J. E. Alexan der and Ex-Chief Justice Shepherd, and against him Lindsay, Patterson, Man ley and Hendren, Watson, Buxton & Watson and V. H. Blair. The hearing began at ten o'clock this morning, very few persons, except those interested, being present,,. though of course the matters are very sensational. ' Many affidavits were read fh each side.- Grady appeared as Complainant and besides his own affidavit were those of J B McPhail, JOnah Wilson, (uncle of Baggett) and R. H. Hubbard. Coun ter affidavits were read from a number of citizens of Mingo township in Samp son, where Baggett lives, mainly testi mony of good character some intending to show prejudice on the part of Grady and Wilson. . On rne side it waa stated that Baggett had fled the comnty, On the other it was said he had told . his friends good bye and had returned tot unapei mil to resume mssiuaies. i nere was no argument. The court referred the case to the Clerk of the Superior Court of Sampson to take testimony and set the hearing, upon his testimony on the eighth of October. As soon as this case was disposed of, that of Tavis came up and a number of affidavits were read. ' The court took the papers; : " i ; ' "Human Hearts;" - ' Till we have reflected on it, we are scarcely aware how much the sum of human happiness is indebted- to the stage. We acquire, cheerfulness and vigor from mere association with our fellow-men in the theatre, and from the looks of happy expectancy , radiating from our neighbors countenances, tin spired by the anticipation of prospec tive enjoyment of a goodr clean, Whole some dramaT' well acted and properly presented. . Such, c at ' least, ' is ' the idea brought forcibly to mind in gazing over an audience assembled to witness W. E. Nankeville's great production "Human Hearts", aptly described as the 'forever evergreen success ' i " ; . Jtfluman Hearts" is a play that in variably appeals to all that is best in man's natureand uplifts him from the sordid cares and petty worries of daily toil and trouble; . The story of "Human Hearts" is clean, 'wholesome and intel ligible to everyoueThere is no sug gestion of vu parity in any of its acts; but a story of convincing, strength is told by th author, in a manner that ap peals irresisiiably to all classes of thea tre goers.' The enormous success of ' 'Human Hearts'! during the past ten years, is a direct refutation of the idea entertained by so many, theatrical managers, that 'sensationalism " and criminal adjuncts are necessary to a play to assure its success with the pub lic Such plays die out as soon as the publie interest wanes. Not so with a drama possessing the merit of "Human Hearts", 1 The lease of life accorded such a play Is dependent on a momen tary interest, excited by some crime, but on the Arm, ouiid basis of humanity and human feelings. It- touches oar heart strings, rouses our latent better instincts, and rhakes us feel kinder to wards our fellow man, for having wit nessed it "Human Hearts" will be presented this season with an especial ly strong company Of players, and the same fidelity to scenic and mechanical detail that made its former visits nota ble.

William Manson McCartney Shoots his Wife, His Solicitude for the Woun ded Woman Implies Accident E vidence Develops Purpo- Georgia McCartney, otherwise known as Georgia Moore, was killed Sunday; V morning at the house of Sue Scott at No. tLeflt street by a bullet at the hands of William Manson McCartney; her reputed husband. The affair is one of those unfortunate eases of which the circumstances would be revolting evetv were suspected murder not connected with it ;;.";-. .-.-;- About 6:80 o'clock the inmates of the house were startled by a pistol shot and .. to see Mrs. McCartney who was boarder, drop to the floor unconscious. -The officer at FivePoints was telephoned and policemen Howard and Bryan; re- ' spoaded and found McCartney bathias; . the woman and doing what he could to restore her. He was arrested by the policemen and went quietly to jail The woman never spoke after being hit by the ball and lay unconscious ua- til after nine-o'clock, when she died without the sign of a struggle. The ball entered the head at the right eye, - -and apparently took an upward coarse, lodging in the brain. Coroner Jones) -was notified, and empaneled the follow -ing jury: E W Rosenthal, foreman; O A Kafer, Secretary, C P. Bartling, A H . ' Bangert Ed Clark and B W Styron. ? They reviewed the remains and then . adjourned to Jones' office whre the -. examination was continued. McCartney was the' first witnssav.,,' called and told a seemingly straight,; story of the offalr, how he playfully, . took up the revolver from the dresser- and that it discharged accidently while' the muzzle was pointing upward with' the tragic result His testimony was -not unshaken by rigid cross questioning- ' by members of the jury and it was ;v thought then that he was going to prove his case of accidental shooting. When the inmates and others In the bouse were called to testify their evi dence waa at variance with McCartney . in several particulars enough so as to make them suspicious that the shooting might have been intentional. The name of another witness was mentioned and it developed by degrees that this per son was a very importaot witness, it was further learned that he had disap- . peared after the shooting. Coroner Jones issued a subpoena for the man, whose name was Pat Barry and deputy sheriff WiHiama found him at one of the railroad camps of the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound railway where he had been working. His evidence before " the jury waa of such a character as to put a mucb more serious light and act ing on the evidence obtained th coro ner held McCartney for trial in the sup erior court without bail, It is reported that McCartney is a tinner and worked for Eliaha Odom on Craven street, that he came here from Wilmington . about two months ago and that his wife proceeded bim. , The reputation of the place where the tragedy occurred led officials to be lieve that the affair was a repetition-, of the red light murders in Raleigh and elsewhere in the state. There is no question but the woman was a low character and that she sought the place in preference to a reputable toarJ!-j house. It is said that McCartney had a fight In the back yard of the Scott wo man's house Saturday night and that Sunday morning the man and hla wife had a dispute in an outhouse. The man Barry testified that he staid with the woman Saturday night The difficulties between the man t.l woman have not arisen from jealoury aa be had acquiesced to her manner of t life but over the division of money Ij 1 the woman. .
