GORDON'S TUL Oil AT CITY BOP ...

Wlany Spectators Attracted by Hearing of Assault and Battery Case. 'DARBY CHIEF WITNESS. IT WAS REMARKED ABOUT THE BUILDING THAT THE PROSECUTION SEEMED OF THE WEAKKNEED SORT. The trial of J. Bennett Gordon, man aging editor of the Richmond Evening Item, and C. S. McCool, circulation manager for the same paper, charged .with assault and battery, is on in the city court, and up to three o'clock this afternoon, but one witness had been examined, that being McLelland Darby, who is the prosecuting witness in the case. The trial Is attracting large crowds, there having been at least two hundred people around the city building and court room during the entire day. Among the hearers and spectators at the trial, the sentiment 13 in favor of the plaintiff in the case, and the assault has been spoken of on all Bides as vicious, whether justified or not. ' The city court stood well in hand to break the record of the Harry Thaw Jury so far as securing men who could be absolutely impartial. Fourteen of the business men who were summoned, practically acknowledged that they had already formed opinions in regard to the affair, and were therefore released. The examination of witness-1 es did not begin until well on to eleven o'clock when Prosecutor Jessup placed Darby on the stand, and after both Attorney Henry U. Johnson and Prosecutor Jessup had made their opening Ftatements. Darby Recites Story. In his statement to the jury, elicited by the questions from the prosecutor. Darby related essentially the same circumstance that characterized his statement to the Palladium Saturday night, following the assault. He stated that about a week before going to the Item office Saturday, he was 'apprised that Gordon Intended charging him four cents for each copy delivered on ten cent subscriptions and one cent on all subscriptions where the contracts for seven cents held good for some time to come, or allowing Darby six cents all told for carrying each copy of the paper, although the written contract, signed by Gordon stated that Darby was to be charged nothing for papers delivered in the north end of the eitj-. This written contract was read by Prosecutor Jessup to the jury during the course of his examination. Darby related how, on last Saturday, when he entered the Item office and handed McCool a list of stops to the paper on the north end route, Gordon became angry and began swearing violently. Then Darby stated that he also handed In his resignation and Gordon again began calling him names, at which juncture .his wife entered the conversation. Darby stated that at the time when Gordon orderd his wife to leave me room, ne 100. requested ner xo leave, which she did, although Gordon immediately telephoned to the police to send a man to eject her from the room. The policeman told her to move away from in front of the Item office, which she did. Darby's subsequent arrival in ' the basement. McCool's refusal to give him his papers as usual, Gordon's trips to the cellar and finally the command to leave the cellar, were all told by Darby, as was the assault which was made upon him by both Gordon and McCool.' The testimony given by Darby aired the real grievances of Gordon and himself. He stated that since he had taken hold of the route the subscription list had grown mainly through his own efforts and that the reason he (Darby) did not wish to pay the four cents a week was because many of the paper contracts, about 122 in number, called for delivery for several weeks at seven cents a week. Only sixty-six, he said, were to bs delivered at ten cents a week. Darby refused to stand for this, according to his testimony, and this is the reason, he says, he was approached by Gordon in the manner he was, when the north end route question came up. Weak-Kneed Prosecution. The case was adjourned at noon and reconvened at one o'clock this afternoon at which time Henry U. Johnson, attorney for the defense, took up the cross-examination. It was shown in this that for the past four years Darby has been in decidedly ill health and has not been able to do manual labor, having to carry paper routes to support himself and family. It was shown in the cross examination that up till last Saturday there were but two instances in which he was mistreated by Gordon, and then spoken crossly to Darby stated that Saturday was the first day which he had ever had any serious words with Gordon and these led up to the assault. Up to three o'clock this afternoon the defense attempted to prove that Darby was always favored by the Item management and that he on the other hand had "double-crossed" them in return. Attorney Johnson also made an attempt to drag the Palladium into the fight by attempting to show that this paper was instrumental in the trouble at the Item plant. Prosecutor Jessup at no time, up till three this afternoon, made a fisht for his client. Attorney Johnson asked Darby whatever he wished, and Jessup made no remonstrance. The weak-kneed prosecution was the source of many remarks around police court. Although it was not known definitely late this afternoon just when the case will be concluded. It was generally thought all witnesses could not be examined be-

fore Wednesday morning. The case however may be turned over to the jury late this afternoon. Zimmerman Is a Candidate. One of the interesting points developed in the later testimony this afternoon was th3 announcement by Dr. W. W. Zimmerman on the stand that he would be a candidate for mayor at the next election and that he had received many assurances of support. This point was developed in questions put to Dr. Zimmerman by Attorney Johnson. The witness said he had no ill feeling toward Gordon and did not regard the attacks that had been made upon him by Gordon as harmful. Mrs. Darby, wife of the plaintiff, also testified, bearing out statements made by her husband.

GIVE CRIMINAL CODE SEVERAL JIARD KNOCKS Lawyers Say That It Is Far From Right Thing.

REVISION UNSATISFACTORY Indianapolis, July 5. At the meeting of the State Bar association today andj tomorrow there is likely to be some lively discussion In regard to the criminal code of the State and some of the attorneys, it is expected, will turn their attention to the supreme and appellate court system of Indiana. It is declared by leading lawyers that the "criminal code of Indiana is rotten." "Reforms are needed." raid a lawyer last night. "There have been no reforms in our criminal code in the lat half century and in fact out State constitution is wrong In many respects regarding the criminal code. The ridiculous custom of courts granting one continuance after another ought to be corrected and there w ill, np doubt, be some discussion along this line." It is declared that the supreme and appellate courts of Indiana have an inconsistent way of deciding cases that make lndiaua look ludicrous in the eyes of the lawyers of other states. Attorneys say that the commission that revised the criminal code of Indiana two or three years aso, simply rewrote the laws that were then on the statute books. The Hub Of Tim Hody.

Of course Webster was in demand by those who could afford to pay for hi services. A sharp Nantucket man is said to Lave got the better of the great defender of the constitution in an amusing way. however. He had a small case which was to be tried at Nantucket one week In June, and he posted to Webster's office in great haste. It was a contest with a neighbor over a matter of considerable local interest, and his pride as a litigant was at stake. He told Webster the particulars and asked what he would charge to conduct the cose. "Why," said Webster, "you can't afford to hire me. I should have to stay down there the whole week, and my fee would be more than the whole cr.se Is worth. I couldn't go down there for less than $1,000. I could try every case on the docket ns well as one, and It wouldn't cost any more, for one case would take my time for the entire week anyway." "All rifrhr 1r ttVlntor " nutrdrlv n. ... M-. j .-j sponued the Nantucketer. "Here s your $1,000. You come down, and I'll fix it so you can try every case." Webster was so amused over this proposition that he kept his word. He ppent the entire week in Nantucket and appeared on one s ide or the other In every enso that came up for hearing. The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel out to all his friends who were in litigation and received in return about 500, so that he got Webster's services for nothing and made a good profit to boot. The Hygiene of Underwear. The average person wearing two sets of underclothing a week, says the Youth's Companion, will make the change In the middle of the week, but It would be far better if the two set were kept going the entire week on alternate days. With the biweekly change, the clothes worn during tho day are aired only for seven or eight hours In the twenty-four and never have the purifying process of a sunning. With two sets going on alternate clays, one set can be nired two nights and one day. and. if possible, should be Luug up where they can receive the direct rays of the sun for some hours. They should not be kept la a dark closet. A Wonderful Cataract. The falls of Iguazu. situate near where Argentina. Paraguay and Brazil meet, form one of tho most wonderful cataracts In the world, being greater In extent and more varied In character than the better known falls of Niagara. The first plunge of the Iguazu falls is 210 feet followed by two others of 100 feet each, while between the two series of falls there are cataracts and rapids covering a vast expanse and surrounding picturesque Islands.
