The plot of the piece, and there ia a plot, is told in two acts, and revolves around the antics of a rich young man by the name of "Punch Swift" who ia celebrated for hia ability to spend his large fortune on all those persons who can be persuaded to listen to his jokes.

Brutal Murderer Has a Sympa- L thizer Among His , Jurors. . Special Correspondence. Greensboro, Sept 27. Evidence in the murder trial of Bohannon and the two Crutcbfields closed at 12 o'clock Thursday and argument began at oncet For the State Mr. G S. Furguson opened, followed by Messrs. W. J. Sher rod, G. S. Bradshaw and .Col. John Barrioger for defendants, -Solicitor Brooks closing just as court adjourned for the night. Judge Long charged the jury the first thing this morning. Soon after the morning session opened, the State rested its case. Oscar Crutch field, was the only one "of the defen dants who went on the stand, he testi fying that when he brought Bohannon to Greensboro to buy the gun, he had no idea as to what he was going to do with it, and denied all knowledge of his further borrowing a pistol ond giving it to Bohannon the night before when they went in the camp looking for the man Beachman who was killed next day. He also denied being in the camp Several negroes who were at work at the scene of the shooting" testified for defense that when Bohannon fired. Beachman waa snapping pistol at him. Cross examization greatly disconcerted each of these witnesses, whose testi mony was contradictory to statements given by witnesses for the prosecution. Each one admitted that Bohannon had a gun and pistol, was cursing, abusing and following Beachman who was at his work, but denied hearing Beachman begging the negroes to go away and not shoot, as he had his gun levelled on, him, not more than ten feet away. Witnesses for the prosecution detailed the circumstances of Bohannon coming to hardware store the morning of the tradedy and buying the morning of the murder the gun and ammunition, also cartridges to fit pistol, Ki Crutchfield had borrowed the night before. It was also shown that after the murder, Bo hannon stopped at Crutchfields house, was fed and secreted. That Crutch field in presence of his son, Oscar, told officer searching for Bohannon that he had gone towards , Winston, when he had been sent towards Greensboro etc. It looks like" a clear case of murder against Bohannon, and a strong case of the Crutchfield's as aiders and abetters in the crime. Judge Long offered to charge the jury last night but they preferred to wait Until morning. The judge put the case in the hands ot the jury this morning and af ter a .deliberation of more than six hours reported that they were, unable to agree. Judge is holding them. BOHETS ARE TUBS.

Nearly all the hats are-worn at an angle, the tilt makes a great difference in the effect, and the arrangement of the coiffure, should be studied to make the line of the hair and hat harmonize a touch of brow is fre quently seen, generally fluffy maline rosettes, which blend prettily with the hair, Graceful, sweeping plumes area valuable asset in softening the severe outlines. Color is a great factor inbe comingneBS, and the Wise woman, how ever seductive ia "London smoke" or "raspberry" hues; if the first bloom of youth is over, will cling to the conven tional black hat, whose popularity nev er wanes. , The inimitable roses which are seen in juxtaposition with drooping plumes, are veritable works of art, and an oth erwise sombre hat is made brilliant with a cluHter of these glowing beauties.
