when arroe-teil l?j puliccmcu of the

charge, was made in the testimony
of the sixth witness. Captain Alex
ander S. Wright, tailed by rlie ?'oui
monwealth in the trial of llines
in Hustings Court Part 11. yesterday.
The prisoner was whispering lu his
young wife when the first direct
evidence, which would tend to link
him with the crime, wa.i Introduced
into the court through the crost.-cx
aminntlon of Captain A. S. Wright,
by Attorney Willis i\ Pulllnin He
stopped abruptly, looked i|tilckl.v at
the Jury, and broke into n light
laugh.
Nn*r Cap l.ong Iteforr Crime.
Captain Wright stated he was at
the Third Station when Mines was
taken in custody <>n the bootlcgying
charge and that his attention was
especially drawn to the tap bcca.usc
the prisoner paeed tin- floor of the
station restlessly, twisting the eap
in his hands while being "booked"
by the desk sergeant.
Attorncj Louis 11. Wendell burg of
the defense requested the ovlileiieo
be stricken from record. Judge Wells
?lld not sustain the objection and a
tilled argument followed between the
attorney and Captain Wright. Judge
Wells was foreed to rap for order
and said he would have the court
room cleared if there was any further
disturha nee.
I'linrRe* (lines With llelng l'ogttlve.
The prosecution was opened bv At
torney 1'ulllani, who outlined the
history of the crime, and said the
Commonwealth would attempt to
prove that a cap was found near
the scene of the murder, that it was
the property of llines. that the bul
lets. three of which entered the body
of Policeman Curtis, were of the
type found in the revolver carried
by Mines. He v?a id they would prove
Mines was a fugitive and that .? war
rant had been issued for his rearrest
and imprisonment, which established
a motive for the crime.
The case was opened for the de
fense by Attorney Wendenhurg. ?i.o
told the Jury he was ready to prove
that Mines, when he learned he was
suspected of the murder, wished to
surrender to th^ police, but was re
strained by a brother, who advised
him to await the return to the city
of Judge Wells. He said lie would
further establish that three people
witticized the murder, and would tes
tify that l'olieeman I'liftls- assailant
whs a log man, weighing U'U pounds,
and that the murder could not have"
been committed by Mines, a small

FIGHT ON CUEING RON

Senate Bill !>5 Would Deprive
Dickenson Counly of Large

Spnato bill No. 65. which was of
fered In tho Senate yesterday, inakos
a ininihcr of changed In the high

out by the legislature of ISMS. hut
one, of tho change* that will no

for a State highway leaving route No.
11 at Coeburn. Ill Wise County, ntul
(coin(t by way of Ollntwood. Kremont,

ty, to CSrandy, In Huchanan County.
Senate hill No. r.5 cuts this Coo
burn-Cllnlwood-ttrumly road off at
Ollntwood and then runs a new State
roa<l from Grundy to Claypoolo Hill
hy way of Haven. Tlijs bill. If passed,
would take away from Dickenson
County about twenty-three miles of
State road, and would take off of tho
State hlphway system seven miles of i
road In Dickenson County?from Fre
mont to Cllnf.vood?which the State
Highway Department has taken over
and practically finished. and on wlileh
seven miles of road the Stale High
way Department lias spent within the
last two years over 1150,000. To cut!
this Coeburn-Clin t wood-'! rtindy road .
off at OIlTtlwood, would leave Dleken- j
son County with probably the small- j
??st mileage of Slate road of any t
county In the Stain. This bill has;
been referred to the Senate Committee ,
on Koads and Internal Navigation. '
and there will likely be some very j
interesting lights over the provisions
of the bill.
