MRS. BLAIR ON TRIAL
For Killing Husband?She Testified
That Ho Was Trying to Get Pis-'
tol When it Went Off.
Columbia, Sojit. 14.?The trial of
Mrs. Ethel W. Blair, charged with
the murder of her husband Conductor
Blair, in this, city on January 17,
1007, was concluded this evening and
the case went to the jury at 11
o'clock tonight.
'At a late hour the jury had not
agreed upon a verdict.
The trial of Mrs. Blair was begun
in the general sessions court here this
morning with Special Judge George
Johnstone, of Newberry, presiding.
One of the principal witnesses for the
prosecution was I)r. K. C. Knollon,
of this city. Dr. Knowlton, tostiiied
that he readied Blair's side soon after
the shooting and immediately ordered
an ambulance. Blair was placed
in the vehicle and taken to a sanitarium.
On the day the physician
testified that he told Blair that he
was dangerously wounded and that
he would probably die. Blair said,
according to the witness, that he
knew he was going to die. Dr.
Knowlton then told Blair he had
better make a statement. Tie asked
Blair who shot him and Blair said
more than once that his wife had
fired the pistol. When asked what it'
was all about, Dr. Knowlton said
j Blair said that they were quarreling
About "that man" and later the witness
learned the man was Arms.
The prosecution had several other
witnesses but none of Diem were eye|
witnesses. The defense began the in;
(induction of testimony early in tho
afternoon, and the principal witness
was the defendant herself, Arms also
\ testified. Mrs. Blair was cool and well
collected. She made a good witness.
She admitted that Blair and herself
had been quarrelling, but said about
an unpaid bill. Blair started to cross
the room for his pistol, she said, and
she rushed for the weapon and secured
it. They struggled for I lie possession
of the pistol and it was discharged.
h was not until she had
thrown it out of the room, Mrs. Blair
testified, that she learned that her
husband had been wounded. She did
not see him again.
Mrs. Blair admitted that she knew
the man Arms hut denied that there
was anything criminally wrong between
them. She admitted that she
did not love her husband, but merely
felt and affection for him as the
father of her children. She said ho
di<t not support her, forced her to
keep a boarding house and was in the
habit of drinking to excess, and .that
these things smothered her love for
the man.
Arms testified for the defense, lie
said he was a friend of the Blair family.
lie denied that there was any
criminal intimacy between himself
and Mrs. Blair.
During the trial Dr. Knollon. the
principal witness for the state, was
asked a number of hypothetical questions
in cross-examination concerning
the effects of opium oil the human
mind and other drugs of a similar nature.
Later it was brought out by
the defense that Blair had long been
a suffer from an abdominal tumor
and that he used a "collie cure" the
printed formula of which showed
opium as an ingredient.
The principal argument for the defense
was made by Attorney P. H.
Nelson, while Solicitor Timmerman
closed for the state. Judgo Johnstone
charged the jury for forty minutes.

Order of Court Puts a Stop to Sale
of Beer on Isle of Palms.
Greenvillo News. .
Columbia, Sept. III.?It was learned
here this afternoon that an order
of Associate Justice Gary had been
served upon Messrs. liiddook and
Byrnes, proprietors of the Isle* of
Palms resort, and upon the Charleston
Consolidated Railway and Light
Company, which owns the Isle of
Palms, restraining them from main(
taining a "nuisance" under the
!j Cary-Cothran law.
A The order is returnable on the
! 28th, at which lime the state anthori;|
ties will seek to have it made peril
manent, enjoining the owners of this
/ celebrated resort from permitting the
/ sale, or drinking, of whiskey at the
U resort.
\) This is not an entirely new proce7
dure under the dispensary law, as
i similar r-leps have been taken undei
( the old state dispensary system, Imi
f it is the first action of this sort under
the county dispensary law, and
may be a forerunner of other such
actions.
\ To violate the dispensary law may
not be so serious for those who can

Justice Gary at Abbeville several an
