ON The State Rests its Case and the Argument Begin Tomor row. Yesterday afternoon after the Visi tor went to press the erons-eiamina-tion of Mills continued. Nothing of imp"Hnce was brought ont, though, foi the fiendish murderer stuck to his ruiiulish tale to the most minute detail. His testimony was wonder fully delivered. It was the testimony of an unlearned, ignorant man, but at times his testimony reached the dra matic as when, feeling the deadly stick with which he had committed the crime, he raised it, leaned towards the jury box and said, a look of the most horrible and gloating triumph on his face, "I hit her so and so," striking the air with the weapon and emphasizing every blow with a fright ful grimace. N- The first witness called this morning was John Jinks, for thestate. He .testified that he went to the old Vaughan house on Thursday morning after the murder and again on Friday, when he found a piece of piperin the house with stains on it that looked like blood. He explained that the reason he looked for the paper was that Wim berly had told him to go to the house, and try to find the bottle of laudanum and that George told him that he had left the laudanum and that if he had it he would drink it and there would bene trial. On cross-examination the witness said that Wimberly's character was good but that Mills' character had not been good for seven years. The next witness called was J. D. Mills. He testified that on Thursday morning he was at Wimberly's house talking over the murder with Wim berly, Mrs. Wiraberly and Savannah. He then went on to give some testi mony very damaging to Wimberly. He said that Wimberly and Savannah both told him that the shirt had been washed to "hide the secret;" that when George came back he said "I did what you told me to do." The cross examination brought out nothing except the fact that, in a conversation, Wimberly had told him that "George did not do this thing." V. J. Batchelor was then called by the state. Batchelor is the store keeper from whom Mills bought laud anum and said that Mills said he was notgoing back to Wimberly's; that he was going to his home. He identified the paper, which, it . is claimed was wrapped around the bottle and which was found in the house. The cross-examination brought out nothing of interest. Mrs, Isby Council then took the stand. Her testimony, the most im portant part of it, wasabout a conver sation she had with Mills Thursday night when Mills was under arrest. He said that the tale he told on the trial was not the bottom of it; that he could not teH it all on account of "Ad," his sister, Mrs. Wimberly. . Deputy sheriff Walters was called and asked about a conversation he had with Mills when he was taken from jail to prevent lynching.. He said that Mills told him that there were others implicated besides himself and that the tale about leopard outting was conocted after he had returned to the house. On cross-examination the witness said George had told him that Julia Atwater killed the girl. Gastou Seagraves was called. His testimony consisted of an account of the story of the rescue party, so of ten told, and of the finding of the girl , the rack, etc. He told of the, removal of the girl. He said 'that he found the rack on the outside of the door. The cross-examination brought out the important little piece of evidence that the man's tracks did not come within ten feet of the well. It will be re membered that Mills yesterday' testi fied that he threw the bottle of lauda num in the well. After asking Dr. Cotton how long it was after the assault before Miss Wimberly died solioitor Pou rested the state's case. . The first witness for the defense was A. J. Wimberly. ' His evidenoe consisted of a complete denial of MllhV testimony. He admitted that he had gone to see Dr. Robinson to see if something rould not be done to relieve his daughter. The doctor tolj him of the dingers attending the per formance of a criminal operation. He aid that he wis informed of his daugh ter's condi) ion by George; that he had but one conversation with him about his daughter. He denied emphatically the statement of Mills' that he seut hira after the laudanum. He described George's coming back from the Vaugh an bouse and recounted the old tale about Iana being struck from within by negroes. He asked Mills to go back to the Vaughan house but he refused to go. He admitted telling his daughter to wash he blood from Mills' shirt, said that he believed Mills' statement about the blood spat tering on him when Iana was strurk. His story was replete with horrible and,disgusting details of conversations he hai had with Mills. Duiing the direct examination the witness went along smothly but on cross-examination he was greatly wor ried; he tried by every possible means to dodge solicitor Pou's questions. As the cross examination went on the wit ness got more and more confused. Solicitor Pou lashed the witness un mercifully; he bronght out facts that showed Wimberly to be one of the most unnatural of fathers. Wimberly admitted that he told Dr. Robinson that he bad rather follow his daughter to the grave than have such a scandal brought out. The testimony at the mag istrate's trial was referred to and it was found that at that time Wimberly had denied this. A few minutes later he contradicted) himself, denying it. He said that they did not wait for Iaua to come before going to bed; he didn't wait for anyone when he waa sleepy. Wimberly gave a very bad impression on his cross examination. The belief that Mills' testimony is true is greatly strengthened today. The cross examination was conducted with great ability. THE WEATHER. The Conditions and the Fore cast.
