That Thaw waa moved by a audden j impulse, which can readily be made to i " spell "emotional Insanity" before a Jury, '. is strongly proven by an Inadvertent ; remark made by hla wife in the exciting 3 momenta after the shooting.

Nervous when he took the stand. Hem brea soon re rained his outward calm, a mask he hss worn throughout the trial, covering completely the emotions which have been tearing him within the In- nermoat recesses of his heart to the ex tent that he is haggard and pale deaplte hla apparent indifference. . aLrmbree Telia Story. On the night before the tragedy, ac cording to the storX-fif-tha prisoner 4Ua wife,' daughter and himself ate auppsr, thea sat around ' the kitchen Are until 1:10 or 10 o'clock, when they retired to their rooms on th second floor of the house. Everything wss soon quiet and nothing unusual occurred until between 1 and 1 o'clock the nest morning when the smell of smoke awskened him. Dis covering that his house, was on fire Hembree quickly awakened his wlfs and daughter and they ran down stair Seeing that no time was to be lost if the house waa to be saved from the flames Hembree seised a large tub and calling to his wife to follow ha rushed to the creek. -Hembree and his wife at tempted to carry the water back to the house, after the tub had been filled, but the weight proved too much for Mr Hembree. who stumbled and fell. There being little chance at that time of sav ing the structure, the members of the family began to work to rescue what few of their possessions they might. Warned Women of Sanger. - Mrs. Hembree and Ora were Instructed by the accused man to carry some things off ths porch, while he went around to the kitchen to secure some of the most valuable srtlclss in that portion of th building. Ora wanted to enter th bias ing house and try to save her trunk, but was ordered to stay on th outside by her father, who warned th woman of . th I flsngrr nf gnlng InsMs 1 " When he returned to the front of the house, after remaining some time In th vicinity of th kitchen, Hembree dis covered thst his wife and daughter were missing. Hs hastily searched the barn and -outbuildings and falling to find them concluded they had started for the home of some ' neighbor. - From later develop ments he believes now that they at tempted to go upstairs to get Ora's trunk, . . Defendant Was m, 'Hitting upon th Hoyts as th most probable plac to find his deer - one Hembree started for that plac Upon his arrival he found that they had not ar rived, but hla physical condition made It Impossible for him to proceed farther In search of them. For years he has been troubled with his head and from a rupture. His head, under the stress of the zoltement, had become dased and the rupture precluded further walking. Entering the Hoyt home he had Mrs. Hoyt bathe his head with wet cloths and then laid down to sleep to regain his strength. In the morning he drank a cup of cof fee and returned to the site where his horn had stood and -searched th ruins for trace of the missing ones. sTataral Tooth round. An Important point In the testimony Lwtt brought out by Carl Atkinson, who was called by the defense and swor to finding a natural tooth on the spot where the charred bones of th bodies were dis covered. As Mr Hetnbree'e teeth were false this went lev-prove that the head of the daughter, Ora. waa . with Ih bodle '"V- , -. . Besides testifying that no person could swear that the bones found in front of the stove by Eldrldge and Thompson were human. Dr. Goucher of McMlnnvllle stated that bones of a skull would burn more quickly than those of a femur. Case Ooe to tnrj. Testimony of -thr- defense was v con cluded lata this afternoon, the arguments made this evening and th caae given to th jury about 11 o'clock tonight. Th fat of th prisoner rests In the hsnds of a jury composed of C. B. Handley. M Curl, I. Quick, J. Foster, H. Alley; A. t. Miller, Ji Jenkins. Jsmss Thompson, Wil liam Maxwell, William Tubbeslng, P. Rhodes and P. B. Elliott. With the con clusion of the testimony and arguments the prevalent Idea that 4he jury would never reached a cerdlct has grown and It Is considered that there Is little chance of the fat of th prisoner being decided before the end of a second trial. At midnight the jury had reached no decision and was locked up for th night. Aaelest Sggn, .
