The jury* in the case was completed inin- , utes later, and taking of testi mony begun. No verdict bud been brought bv i bo Jury in ibo case of Graham Moore, charged with violation of Ihe Stale dry laws up to 3 o'clock this afternoon. The Jury had had the cane since 11 o'clock. l)r. I. Fearing, coroner, fas tile first witness in the Jacobs case, lie testified to having Investigat ed t he death of Whlchard on Jan uary IS, 1922. and explained that the only Injury discovered was a hole In the skull, which evident was not a knife wound. On croks examination he expressed the opin ion that the injury might have been caused by a fall from h mov ing train. The body, he said. was| lying 25 to 30 feet from the Suf folk & Carolina Railroad 1 racks at the rear of the Hoy wood Saw yer homestead on Khrlugliuus street. State Alleges Motive The State next Bought to estab lish a motive for this alleged kill ing through testimony by Chief of Police Holmes to the effect that Lawrence Jacobs had been sen tenced to a term on the roads on a charge of stealing clothing from Whlchard. and that at the time of his arrest he threatened to "get* Whlchard. It was diaclosed also that Jacobs and Whlchard had been in partnet'ship as painters be fore the Incident of tho road term. The death of the latter occurred several months after expiration of Jacobs' sentence. A letter which the Stale claimed General Jacobs, brother of Law rence. had written to I-awrence while he ( General 1 was in Jail here awaiting a hearing on a mur der charge In connection with the killing of Nehomiah I). Pendleton, elderly Woeksvillo merchant, was next Introduced by .Solicitor Small, but was ruled out by Judge Cal vert. with the proviso that it might be used later as substantive evl- 1 donee only as to dale and circum stances. but not as to Its contents. It was on the basis of this letter that Lawrence Jacobs subsequent ly was a nested in connection with Ihe Whlchard case. Sheriff jCarmlno testified the letter wasflurned over to him and that later he had a conversation with General Jacobs. In which the latter Implicated his brother In the death of Whlchard. Thl* In turn resulted In the arrest of Law rence Jacobs In Ayden. Pitt Coun ty. General Jacobs told of a visit lo bis brother In Ayden last Feb ruary. during which he said l*aw i once asked h|m If anybody wan looking for hlni in Blliabeth City, t later telling him he struck Mack Whlchard and one Nathaniel New some, colorod. cut him with a knife, and they loft Whlchard 1> Ing near the Suffolk & Carollns tracks. The present whereabouts of Newnome woro not disclosed, laughed Off ^newtlon General Jacobs testified furth er thai his brother merely laughe.l off a direct question from him as i to whether ho killed Whlchard.

Ah (lie new world-famous "soulless murder" case of Arapahoe Coun ty draws toward its close, convic tion of spectators grows Into prac tical certainty that the aged de fendant. Dr. Harold Blazer, ac cused of chloroforming to death his 32 year old daughter. Hazel Blazer. will walk from the court house a free man within a few hours. And with this feeling goes the belief that whether the result is a "hung jury" or outright acquittal, the real issue, namely, whether under any circumstances human life may he taken without due process of law. will remain as un settled as was the evolution issue in the recent Dayton. Tennessee trial. While both cases attracted worldwide attention and provoked debates on every street corner and public gathering place, both were settled In an atmosphere ef prejudice and by jurors many of whom had little conception of the' far-reaching Issues at stake. Hut while the Tennessee school teacher suffered conviction at the hands of men unalterably opposed to his theories and unmoved by ar guments pro and con. Harold Blazer Is expected to walk free in to the Colorado sunshine because his neighbors know him for a kindly, devoted man and knew his daughter, Hazel, for the distorted, suffering, quivering travesty of humanity that she was. (lazing dry-eyed through the windows at the towering peaks of the Rockies as his case was being swept away from him under an avalanche of tears. Joel Stone, prosecuting attorney. Rave no sign of any struggle that might be rag ing within between man and pub lb- avenger. On his shoulders rested the burden of proving that human life may not ever be tak en Outside the law; In his mind was the vision of other such "mer ciful killings" that may follow if this country physician should go free. In his memory was the knowledge that leniency granted , killers in certain extenuating cir cumstances has ever been taken as encouragement to similar action by other men. And so while Lewis D. Wowry. self-made attorney, who worked by night ns s newspaper telegraph er and studied tho law by day to prepare for the opportunity that has swept him into the forefront, of the nation's famous lawyers, fought masterfully for the life of a mail whom he and most of Lit tletons citizens extolled as god like. Joel Stone fought for the lives of other Invalids, the bur den of caring for whom might Irk impatient relatives. The liberty of tho man on trial would be a small price, he thought, to as snre their safety. Having sought to prove tem porary Insanity for the defendant, attorneys have provided sternly eonseloused jurors with a reason by which they may disregard the plea based on anciont angle-Saxon common law, that the victim must be a "reasoning creature" for mur dcr to have been committed, and still bring out a verdict of not guilty. And whatever the verdict for the render of which not only Lit tleton and Colorado, but the en tire civilised world waits with pained Intensity? the fact remains that It will be applicable to this case alone. And the net result will be provoked so that the many thousands of the hitherto Indif ferent will bend their minds to the solution of a great human prob- | lem.

SMALL I C?0vr IMS. T?? *?*????) Washington. Not. 12. ? The ex treme peril of the Ajax attitude assumed by Colonel Billy Mitchell can scarcely be understood until it is realized that this doughty viking of the air Is the very first person In official position or semi authority to challenRe outright and openly the Coolidge admlnls I rat ion. Here in Washington the admin istration has beert held in what might he called sup#stltlous awe_ The President has been regarded an a man of destiny. The demo crats In Congress have been ex tremely mealy-mouthed In every thing they have had to ?ay. It had begun to look as if all political and economic opposition to the administration had broken down until suddenly Colonel Mitchell Hwept across the capital sky like a flaming comet. Washington had been given to understand that President Coolidge and all of his subordinate officials of Govern ment stood so well with the people of the country It was unsafe to say the least, to utter a word against the administration or any of its acts. It was all right to criticise things that happeued la Washing ton up to the time that Mr. Cool idge suddenly was called to the Of fice of the chief magistrate, but since that time it has been indis creet if not dangerous to suggest 'that anything had gone wrong. ! There no longer is any doubt that Colonel Mitchell In hitting st the "higher-ups," that Is to say the ups who are higher than the |! mere generals of the -Army of which he Is a part Colonel Mitch ell Is hitting st the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Na vy. the military "hands" of the President. That he Is also Indi rectly If not directly hitting at Mi Coolidge as Commander In ! Chief of the Army and Navy. Is 'not to be gainsaid. Evidence of this is to be found not alone In the fact that Colonel Mitchell ex pects to prove the Shenandoah J was sent to her death on a purely i political mission, but In many oth er statements and Insinuations. Colonel Mitchell has generally been rated In Washington as a j Democrat. This probably Is be cause It was thought no one could be so obstreperous and generally : hambunct lous If he was not a Democrat. The remarkable fea ture of the Mitchell court martial in that the Colonel's attacks on the administration are being led by Representative Frank Held, of Illi nois. a Republican. It now looks as though the Mltchell-Reld com bination had paved the way for a number of things to be said In Congress during the coming ses sion. inasmuch as they seem to be getting away with it without be ing turned Immediately into pil lars of salt or clouds of flame. It may develop therefore that the Mitchell court has ended what might be called the Coolidge "honey-moon" at the White House and that the real political assault upon him is about to be gin The Coolidge honeymoon has been the most remarkable In all political history for it lasted clear through a Presidential campaign and election The Democrats had beeu so busy fighting among them selves at Madison Square Garden they had neither the ammunition nor the spirit left for an attack upon the C?OP and so the Presl |dent scarcely had to lift his hand to Insure his re-election The Democrats waged a sort of "hope-you-don't-hear-me" fight. The sccusers of Colonel Mitch ell. If they thought to cow him by the announcement that President Coolidge was the real complainant ngalnnt him. reckoned without their man. Ever since that an nouncement was made the Colonel and his pernicious attorney have fought all the harder. Nothing seems to deter them ? not even the court They appear to have ??gassed" the judges Into complete submission All sorts of testl rnony is being admitted. Old Army officers continue to rub their eyes and Insist "there ain't no such an imal a? they view the proceeding Rut the court proceeds with the accused colonel becoming bolder and bolder ss It goes along tXTTTOM MARKET | New York.

Mr. Skinner was under the impression that a belt on tfc? laundry machinery had parted, and he looked about hastily to de termine where the supposed accl-i dent had happened. Every thing appeared to be all right. I Then another report raug oul. A window light Just over Mr. Sklu* ' iut's head was shattered and fell tinkling to the floor. Ducking, he looked about, as another crack sounded, and observed a bullet | hole suddenly being formed lu the west wall of the building. There were six of the holes. In all, when the bombardment ceased. Mr. Skinner ran to the doorway I lending into the adjoining build ing and looked about for evidence of murder or a desperate duel.' {Everything was quiet, and the .front door was closed, indicating that uobody had been in there In j the last few minutes, at least. i Continuing his Investigation, nr.

URGES CHURCH DEAL WISELY WITH EDUCATION Head of Teacher Training Section Methodist Church Addresses Conference at Fayetteville C.K1SIS IS HEKE k However, Says Speaker, Crises Are Times of Growth Mentally and Spiritually, Too Kayettevllle. Nov. 12. ? It la time for the Christian college to shift I lit emphasis from "educat ing for a vocation to make a llv ! inu to that of educating for the i vocation of living." declared L. K. Sensnbaugh. of Nashville, Ten , nesaee, head of the teacher train ing auction of the Methodist Epis copal Church. South, in an ad dress before the annual North 'Carolina Conference or the church, I in aeaalon here, in an sddreaa I last night. The Christian church. . along , with all other factors In clvlllsa , tlon. Is passed through a seriea of crises, the speaker asserted. Mr. Sensabaugh. . speaking on "The Church and the Crisis In Education." was the principal speaker of ihls evening. The oc casion of the address was fhe an ! nlversary night of the Sunday 'school, as observed annually by the conference. "The educational crista that j confronts the church Is not only ' In college and acudemlc halls," : the speaker continued, "but In the Held of popular education. The crisis of the church In the pres ent hour can be summed up aa I follows: "The widespread and rising lev el of Intelligence among the maas 1 es of the people; the new spirit of freedom that is brought about bv scientific discovery; the new ' facts about the Bible, about re legion, about man. his source, hi* development, his destiny; the new philosophies of life; and the eec ii la r control of the educational processes, all challenge to the su preme opportunity of moulding I the destiny of the race and ad vancing the KinKdom of Christ." Dwelling briefly on the crisis In i faith and creed, the crisis of the I program for world evangelisation, uh problems called for elear 1 thinking and wise planning. Mr. Sensabough emphasized the edu cational crisis which he said faced the Methodist Church. In common with all I'rotestant Chris tianity. as brought about by the educational development of the last two generations. In the face of modern educa tional development, the church must re-atudy and re-vaiuate lt?~ own mlaalon and program, he de clared. "A crisis," Maid the speaker, ? "Is not necessarily something to be feared. Crises Indicate a growing Ideal, a changing value of the social order, an enlarged 'conception of tlx* destiny of mai. a new appreciation of the mean ing of Cod." He sketched briefly the 300 years of the renaissance and the <arly reformation period, draw ing comparisons with situations In the present day. He ftrst cited, as a parallel sit uation, the struggle of Christian ity against ecclesiaatlclam of the i pre-reformatlon period aa com pared with the multiplicity of buildings, world-wide programs, jand organizations today. "When | we speak of the Christian Church, we too often are thinking of Ita ! buildings, It program. Its creeds, rather than interpreting M In terms of spirit." A second similarity, he said, la I he reprrductlon of the movement among students and scholars of the earlier day who questioned whether or not organised Chris tianity represented the spirit of the early church. "Our own day." he said. 'Ms reproducing this con dition upon the most gigantic scale in human history. Mass edu cation is the slogan of the hour. There are more students In col lege todsy than In all the high school* of America 25 years ago." A third parallel cited by the speaker was the scientific discov eries that affecied thought and action, and delivered a mighty Im pact upon the church of the ref ormation period; so. In our day. the rising generation Is facing s physical universe and body Of scientific knowledge that Is en tirely different from the universe and knowledge of even a genera tion ago. The language snd though! -form* of yesterday, II said, are totslly Inadequate to In terpret the scientific knowledge or todsy. mid ffi that Is exactly what thousands of Chriatlan men and women are attempting to do. and are attempting It. he said. In the name of Christian dogma. Referring to the passing of edu cation from church control, th?* speaker asserted that the stale , was doing Its share, by educating the Intellects, and that It Is now J the duty of the church to fulflll 'Ita ahare of the contract by fur-/ : | nlshln ? an adequnto system of re ligious and moral teaching and j training. iiMillB
