IHK NINETEENTH DAY,
Yesterday won the nineteenth day of
the trial. The crowd at tho oponing
? us sullicieut to more than comfortably
fill tho room. Judge Preutis was a
few minutes late and the court was
ready for business when ho urrived.
Capt, Wise appeared to be in a
Jiurry to begin tbu cxatuiuutiou. His
seut wits that occupied by him for
some days past on the end of a table.
Alter the usual good morning with
wbioh Mr. Mussey has been greeted
for tho paBt live dnys, Oapt. Wise said
1'ou swore thnt wheu you made the
deed transferring Ash Hawn to your
brother that it tnui no reforeuce to
jp*ar Mauze indebtedness^
Mr. Mussey said: I did not so state.
(Jnpt. Wise?You are aware that
Register in Bankruptcy Gray lias said
that you cuuio to hiui and told hiru that
you hail some creditors.
Mr. Masse;?What Mr. Gray said is
probably correct.
Capt. Wisu?You remember that be
has said thut you told him tbat uuIuhs
you could make some arrangement
with certain Kockiugbauj oruditors,
you would be back to nee him. Gray.
Mr. Mnssoy Baid: I have no doubt
that whut Douglass Gray said was cor?
rect.
Cupt. Wise,? "Did you ever offer to
compromise thut Muuzo debt?"
Mr. Mussey- "I liid, because I would
ruthor havo paid nart of it tbun be
troubled with it."
Mr, Massey said bo oould uot say ex?
actly whou the conversation witu
Mbuzc occurred, but he thought it
might huve been before the doeds to
Ash Luwu was made to his brother,
iio said th'.ii if the conversation was
hud with Mauzo alter tho deed whs
made, it would uot havu been atrungr,
us bo would have compromised cither
before or after the deed.
He said be was auru that the deed to
Ash Lawn was uradu wituuut reference
to thu Hoc king bum debts.
Capt. Wise introduced as evidence
nu extract from the Auditor's accounts
oiviug Mr. Massey'a tux list. This was
objected to, but the Court overruled
the objection,
Capt. Wise submitted a record of
Mr. Massey's traveling expenses nod at
thu conclusion asked Mr. Mussey if be
wsn perfectly certain tbat he had never
drawu from the State bis full allow
ttuoe.
Mr. Massey said bo thought the
btutcmeut previously made was cor?
rect.
The account in Court was examined
and tibowed that for oue yeur Mr.
Musaoy had drawn tbe full amount.
Capt. Wise usked Mr. Massoy to turn
to Ins account book of bis current ex?
penses and suit! be could save time and
worry to Mr. Mussey aud tho jury if
ue wus ul.owed to take tbe book out of
court and examino it nt his leisure,
Mr. Thorn said be would object un?
less Mr. Wise would admit tbe book
us evidence.
Mr. Wise said be could not do thut,
as he did not kuow what the book con
taiued.
The Judge thought tbe book could
he cMiiniuod in Court in a few min?
utes.
('apt. Wise looked at the Judge, and
said: I-n a ui-i u u t e o r I ti-u? Why,
your Honor, there is more iu that
book tbun there is in tbe Bible.
Laughter, i
Mr. Wise then began taking bis
transcript of Mr. Mussey's hooks, and
in ii very short while about half of tbe
audience had retired, and a good
Methodist brother wus a-leep iu the
urnuu corner. Tbe .ludgo read
tl uewspapcr, tbo jurors beiug
in the vviudow aud frequently visited
the water cooler. They wrote notes to
each other joked at tbo expense of
Cupt. Wise uud Mr. Massey and iu
every possible way manufactured
diveisious to keep thorn from follow?
ing tbe example of tbe Methodist
preacher.
Kviiov. MoKenney watched tbe
proceeding about two hours aud a halt
Hud then went out iu the ball ami
cracked a fow jokes with bis Norfolk
friends.
't he lunusgors of the Pilot came into
court for a while, but tbuv soon re?
tired.
; THE ANSWER UNSATISFACTORY,
Nothing of iuteroet iu tbo ca?e
ocoured till Cupt. Wise, lute iu tbe
afternoon's proceedings, wanted to
know of Mr. Massey how it is that
while his farm was not tell sustaining
from 1S8? to IS90 he told Mr. Neely,
while testifying n few days ago, that
during tbBt period tho bum made lor
tutu nut less tliuu Si,d?o a year,
.Mr. Massey suul iu reply that be
doesn't think be told Mr. Neely this.
Capt. Wise wanted to rend to Mr.
Massey what the latter bail said to Mr.
Neely, hut the Court suggested that
the witness had answered tbo quostiou.
and even if uusutisfuetory to Cupt.
Wise, it was answcrcil, and should not
be asked again.
Copt. Wise then questioned Mr.
Massey about tho different years of
In - account, and dunned that the (arm
was uot sell sustaining, aud said, now
tell mo where yon got the $3,000 you
deposited in 1890? Mr. Massey said he
hud deposited in bank $J,uti0.
'Iberti wiih further discussion as to
tho money's increase, aud Capt, Wise
asked what hu meant by saying from
1880 to 1890 bis net income was $11,000,
Mr. Massey replied that bis books
sliowod this.
Cupt. Wine -Where did you have
this $11,000 January 1st, 1890?
Mr. Mubsev?I have uover said that

wanted to set Mr. Massey right.
Mr. Massey replied: Set yourself

tragedy was reported from Loaruod, u

this eveuiog, iu which two men were
shot to deatu and a half dozcu more or

lurs are meagre, but from what could

At church last Sunday oue of the

Two men, Korest and Leswell Melles,
were killed instuutly, while three
others, two of thorn brothers of McUca,
were neriuusly wouudod and it is
thought two of them will die by

Tho Sheriff was telegraphed to come

PREVENTED AMPUTATION.
Vlu. Remarkable Story Tolil by a Well*
Knoivn tluntttitriixil Kenpur.
Mr. M. H. Cavcudar, restaurant, corner
Mnrkot square and Union street, Nor?
folk, Va.. tolls tho following story of his
sufferings and euro: "Two years nun an
erujition appeared on my baud in the na?
ture of eczema. I tried a number of rem?
edies, hut It rapidly grew worse. 1 then
placed myself in ihn bauds of u physician,
and for eighteen months of treatment by
physicians anil other parties iny hand, In?
stead of linproviug, bad been gradually
growing worse, and last October 1 bad
lost all hope of saving It, und had partly
coma to tho conclusion that I would have
it amputated, as my whole arm was be
coiutug affected by tho disease My hand
and wrist were swollen to twice their
normal size, and my baud was n mass of
putrefied flesh. The agonies I suffered
cannot he described. I was unable to got
u night's rest, aud really life was not
worth livin?. About this time Quiatol
Inudu its appearance on the market, ami as
1 heard so much of its wonderful curative
powers, and knowing of several cases in
which It had Riven satisfactory results, I
decided to give It n trial, though I bad no
hopes of success. I responded to the invi?
tation of the company, and went to their
laboratory and let Mr. Sweet apply the
remedies. The result was truly wonder?
ful. Instead of Irritating and causing mo
pain, as other remedies bad done, Its ef?
fects were soothing in the extreme, uud if
it bad not given mo n euro I shoultl
have been fully satisfied, ns it allayed
tho swelling to such a lurgo degree, and
relieved tho pain to such an extent that I
was able to steep at night. Hut this Is not
all. 1 had not beeu using it three days
before 1 saw such marked Improvement
that my hopes were kiudled, aud I had u
roncwod fultb that I had at lust found
sninothlufx thut would cure my affliction.
My hopes have boen fully realized. I havo
used the remedy constantly for three
months, and the result is a euro of what
every ono suid was a boneless case. I
cannot say too much for this wonderful
remedy. This statement can be cortillc.il
to by n great many prominent citbteni ot
Norfolk."
Nothing lu;s over boon discovered which
will cure eczema as quickly us Quratol,
