Wytheville, Va., Nov. 18.?Sidna Allen, on trial here for the murder of Judge Thornton L. Massie, today took the witness stand in his own defense, outlining his movements from the time of the tragedy until he was captured in Des Moines. He spoke clearly and without embarrassment fintil he wa3 asked if he had intended leaving his wife and children. Then the rugged mountaineer broke down and wept. He tieniec: that such was his intention and stated that they were after him with bloodhounds and with instructions to shoot him on sight and that he intended keeping out of the way until things quieted down, when he would have returned and given himself up. The prisoner denied that he fired at Judge Massie, stating that he was standing talking to John Moore, a stone mason, about some work, when the firing began and that he did not fire until he saw Clerk Dexter Goac shoot at him. Then he emptied his revolver at the clerk, re-loaded it and kept up shooting after he had left the building. His Wife on Stand. During the morning Mrs. Sidna Allen was examnied and stated that Floyd Allen came home with her husband the night before the shooting and that they all sat by the fire talking until bedtime. Nothing bearing in the next day's tragedy was mentioned, she declared. C. C. Westmoreland, chairman of the board of supervisors of Carroll county, testified that a few days after the tragedy he had a conversation said he thought the shooting was the with Clerk Goad and that the latter pened' because it would rid Carroll county of the Aliens. The defense also introduced the evidence of two traveling salesmen as to bills of goods they had sold Sidna Allen just prior to the tragedy, this being intended to disprove the state's contention of conspiracy. LAST TAPS ARE SOUNDED / FOR JOSEPH M. TERRELL. Former United States Senator and Governor of Georgia, Answers the Summons?Long a Wise Leader in the State. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 17.?Former United States Senator Joseph M. Terrell, twice governor of the State of Georgia^j??M*t his home here today after as5??l^yed illness. SenafHH^ffel 1 was stricken with paralysis in February, 1911, a few months after he had been appointed to fill the unexpired term of the late United States Senator A. S. Clay. Although his illness made it nece? sary for him to retire from public life Senator Terrella condition dta not become critical until a week ago. Senator Terrell was born in Merriweather county, Georgia, in 1861. Afser serving in both houses of the State legislature, he was' elected to the office of Attorney General of the State in 1892. He resigned this office after serviog 10 years and was elected governor to which office he was reelected at the expiration of the first term.

New President Will Have to Give Out Lots of Pie. Upward of thirty millions of dollars will he the money value of the patronage that will be at the disposal of President-elect Wilson when he comes into the White House. This represents an army of office seekers that will aggregate about 12,000. These two facts more than any one other thing indicate the terrific pressure that will be brought to bear upon the wnite ilouse and the unceasing hours of toil and labor that are before the new chief executive without regard to questions of public policy and legislation along the lines of the party pledge and the public utterances ot. the candidate. The offices named in the accompanying table are not protected by the civil service. They are at the bestowal of tht president and the demand for their immediate transfer from Republican aspirants may be insistent. By a stroke of the pen many more could be removed from the shelter of the civil service. President McKinley, who succeeded Cleveland, found so many Republicans clamoring for the offices from which for four years they had been ejected, that he made many exceptions and in great measure under pressure, negatived the force of the civil service law. wnen Cleveland succeeded Harrison he went to the other extreme and declined to violate either the letter or spirit of that law and but few Democratic officials were appointed except administrative Tieatis w"no were responsible either as chief or subordinate officials fo rthe policy o fthe administration. How Mr. Wilson will act on the return to power of his party and the long absence from the public crib is a question that remains to be answered. Patronage List.

Cheshire, publisher of the An rson Intelligencer, was wounded four times in the body and arm by W. J. Muldrow, secretary of the company. J. A. Mullinax, who was in the offipo on business atthe time, and attempted to stop the shooting by stepping between the .men, received a flesh wound in the right arm, just above the wrist, and Mr. Muldrow's coat was pierced by a couple of bullets, said to have been fired by R. L. Cheshire, Jr., through a window from outside the office. One of these bul I lets passed through the left lapel and the.other through the sleeve, nearth* wrist. Drives to Hospital. After being wounded by Mr. Muldrow, Mr. Cheshire got into his buggy with his brother and a negro driver and went directly to the hospital, where his wounds were attended by Dr. J. C. Harris and Dr. J. O. Sanders. He had been shot in the shoulder and wrist and twice in the abdomen. It was at first thought that one of the latter wounds was very serious, but a more thorough examination performed later by Dr. Harris, showed that the abdominal wall had not been perforated, and he stated this afternoon that there was no cause whatever for anxiety as to Mr. Cheshires conditinn .... 1 i? iL- -* it ?

According to the story of the shooting secured by the police, Mr. Cheshire walked into Mr. Muldrow's office about 9 o'clock and, drawing a pistol demanded that he throw up his hands. Mr. Muldrow arose from his cha;r and Mr. Cheshire fired, the ball going wide. As he fired again, Mr. Mullinax knocked up his arm, and the shot went into the ceiling. The third shot passed through the fleshy part of Mr. Mullinax's right arm, near the wrist. By this time Mr. Muldrow had had opportunity to draw his own weapon, and began shooting at Mr. Cheshire as fast as he could pull the trigger. He fired five times, four of the shots taking effect as above stated. R. L. Cheshire Arrested. At the hospital R. L. Cheshire, Jr., II.oo 1 Oil- rv-l?i.1 " " <<t>o oncatcu uy vny ueiecuve V. O. Martin and brought to the city hall. Later he secured bond before Magistrate B. F. Wilson, after warrant had been sworn out by Mr. Muldrow, charging both V. B. Cheshire and R. L. Cheshire, Jr., with assault and battery with intent to kill. The amount of the bond was fixed at $500 which was furnished by D. A. Taylor, of Sandy Springs. No warrant has been issued for the arrest of Mr. Muldrow. The attack made by Mr. Cheshire on Mr. Muldrow today was the result of bad feeling which had its beginning some time ago and grew out of certain articles published In the An deraon Intelligencer, considered by Mr. Muldrow m personal reflections. Considerable excitement was created by the difficulty and little else has been talked on the streets here today. Victor B. Cheshire is a friend of Governor Blease and * lieutenant colonel on the governor's staff.
