TheiShaw Thompson TrialAs it progresses interest in the

above trial increases All the evi ¬

dence was finished yesterday at noon

rand immediately after dinner thearguments of the attorneys in thecase were begun-

Mr Edwin W Davis made theopening speech and presented thefacts in a clear concise logical andmost effective manner He showedfrom the position of the parties andthe direction of the shot from thefatal gun that the statements of thedefense were a physical impossibilityand that the deceased was not in any-

way attempting to do bodily harm tothe defendant and that his killingwets entirely without warrant or jus-

tification¬

Col Lloyd made a classical orationHe stated that Shaw Thompson wasat his own home surrounded by his

f family with malice in his heart to ¬

wards no one when he found the de ¬

ceased prowling about his premiseswith a gun in his hand when hailedrefusing to respond and when

i Thompson told him that if he couldgive an account of himself that the

I defendan put himself in a tbreatningI attitude and under the circumstances-the shooting was justifiable and it

l was the duty of the jury to so declare-Mr R L Anderson followed Col

Lloyd with a two hours oration Hisspeech was masterly He was attimes soft and persuasive at others

I powerful and overwhelming clenunciation and satire He is a finished-

i

i

orator and never in his life beforeused to better purpose his gifts of

I speech He took the evidence in de¬

tail and used it to the advantage ofthe gray headed prisoner at thebar

I

Hon Thomas Palmer made theI

concluding argument He has thereputation being one of the finest

j criminal lawyers in Florida and hisj eiforts yesterday afternoon and lastI niPin sustained in a high degree thisreputation and added fresh laurels tohis wreath His exordium was or

1 hate and pleasing He paid his re ¬

spects to the classical reference ofCol Lloyd about the sancity of thehome fervidly endorsed all he said

f

but said unfortunately that therewas no evidence to corroborate hisstatement that the home of the de-

fendant¬

had been in any manner vio-

lated or that it had been threatened-with violence He carefully wentover all the evidence and the com-

ments¬

thereupon by the attorneys-and from his point of view arguedconclusively that the killing of Tilliswas murder and asked at the handsof the jury a verdict of murder

I The judge delivered a very impres-

sive¬

comprehensive and impartialI charge and at 930 oclock the casewas given to the jury and at the hour-

of going to press the jury is still de ¬

liberating upon iti

LAmThe jury came into courtthie morning and stated that theycould not agree on a verdict It is

I understood that the jury stood 11 to1 for conviction of murder in thesecond degree The case will notagain be tried at this term of court-

Ocalas Famous Soap Tree

Persons who have read the Ameri-

can

¬

Soap Journal will be aware of I

the fact that there is a very noted

tree in Algiers called the African I

soap tree from which genuine soap-

is manufactured-Prof E Moulie of Jacksonvile

Florida has interested himself aboutthis tree as he has about a greatmany other things which he believes

I

will thrive well in Florida and in or-

der¬

to test the same he communi-cated with the American consul atAlgiers for some of the plants andberries His letter was referred tothe Plant Industry United StatesDepartment of Agriculture Wash-

ington¬

D C who in turn referred t

it to Prof A B Stubenraugh of thegovernment experiment station atBerkley California who stated thatthere were some of the trees in the I

experimental gardens 1 under hischarge but they had been lost in re-

moval¬

Prof Moulie having resided in Al-

giers¬

at one time was familiar withthe tree and wrote a description of itJacke un-

der¬

the inspection of Mr J H Liv ¬

ingston of this city and the descrip-

tion

¬

Iso near fitting a tree which he

i has growing on his place that he-

I wrote to Prof Moulie about it send-

ing

¬

him some of the berries and also1

some of the small trees Prof Moni

lie believes that this is the identical-soap tree andnvill lead to very import nt results as it is a tree of very

I great commercial value This treeI was brought to Ocala about twentyyears ago from China by Eev

t

I Benjamin Helm who was for a long-

time a Presbyterian missionary to-II

I the Celestial Empire The tree hasi been bearing lor a number of yearsiand yields annually a croo of three

j or four barrels of berries1 Its botanical name is Sapindus-I manatensis ntilis

Prof Mouiie suggests that theI

Ocala tree be call Sapindus manaten-sis

¬

utilis Florida and be so recorded-

for future reference-It may be destined to make Ocala

famousSandy Locklear Captured

Sheriff Gordon yesterday receivedI information from the authorities atLumberton N C notifying him that l

they had captured Sandy Locklear-

the

I

negro who several weeks agokilled a man at the Home turpentine-camp about eight miles west of this

cityMrGordon left on the afternoon-

S A L train for North Carolina tobring Locklear back for trial Themurder is said to have been a cold¬

blooded affair and Locklear willhave a hard road to travel if the crime-

is fastened on him by the courts
