Fort Worth, Aprl 12—The Norris de-
fense began -the introduction of testi-
mony this morning. The prosecution
at a midnigji conference decided un-
expectedly to rest its case. The pro-
secution has introducted ten witnesses
so far, and expects to introduct more
in rebuttal, including K. K. Ta^lor^
the husband of the woman who gave
such sensational testimony yesterday.
Dr. T. L. Ray, chairman of the Board
of Deacons of Norris’ church, was the
first witness. He said he overheard
Charley Dickinson, a real estate deal-
er, talking to men whom the witness
did not know, say: “There’s one thing
certain, Norris will never preach an-
other sermon in the First Baptist
church; we will have him fired.” Dick-
inson is not a member of Norris’
church.
The defense’s efforts were largely
directed to showing the building of the
new church had been considered long
before the church burned. John Ho-
man, a member of the church, and a
witness for the defense, quoted Wil-
liam Reeves, president of a Fort Worth
hank as saying to him that “Norris was
a liar, a perjurer and a thief,” and that
he (Reeves) “cpuld prove, and was
willing to spend money to do so.” Ho-
man declared Dickinson had claimed
to Jwow that Norris burned his own
church and fired the shots through the
church window.

Weashington, D. C. April 11—George
W. Neville, president of the New York
Cotton Exchange, defended that insti-
tution today against the anti-option
hills pending before the house commit-
tee on agriculture.
Mr. Neville said the privilege of
hedging and dealing in contracts on
cotton futures was necessary to retain
the equilibrium of the cotton market.
Speculation, he averred, was a neces-
sary condition to provide a frtJe market
at all times of the year.
He said he thought the hills would
mean the abolition of cotton exchange*
and the consequent demoralization of
the cofton industry in the United
States. / •'
Howard Ayers, president of the
China-Japan Trading Company, s|»oke
against the hills. He argued that if
cotton men were not permitted to deal
in futures the cloth market would fluc-
tuate violently. *~i~----*
George R Kembert of Columbus, S.
C„ admitted he was a cotton specula-
tor "pure and simple" and that while
he raised cotton he went into th*-, cot-
ton market to “take a chance." He
said it was the speculate e class that
kept the market active.
Do you believe in* gambling?” he
was asked.
That’s a matter of opinion,” said
Mr. Reml-ert "I’ll bet on a horse race
and i do not think it is a crime t> do
so."
L. K Brook* of Augusta. Ga., a cot-
ton broker, also spoke against the •*111.

as compared wit h24,275,101 in 1899,

crease being 1 114.361 bales, or 11.7
per cent. The total value was $703,-
