TRIAL0F ERNEST HAYWOOD State Rests Its Case After Four Days Proceedings. Raleigh. Special.? After having examined about fifty witnesses the SUtto Saturday rested its c;tse iu the trial of Eriiest Haywood, for the murder of Ludlow Skinner, irt February last. The defense has here over 200 witnrs^es, and says it will take four or five nays to examine these. It can be positively slated that Haywood will not testify In his own behalf. A new witness was !

He saw the first shot and Steiiijier. who was reI treating, was off the sidewalk with his bark to Haywood. As he reached the middle ot the street he turned-'and fell at Haywood's next shot. On the crossexamination Fuller testified that :his attention was attracted by the young lady. Miss Mattie Pace, exclaiming that two men were about to light, and that after the shooting she said that Mr. Haywood and Mr. Skinner appeared to be in a heated argument and that Haywood was gesticulating as if to im! press something on Mr. Skinner, who I slruek hint, at whieh she exclaimed: I "lie is going to shoot," meaning Mr. i Haywood,, and turned from the window.
