HOOKER AWAITS
COURT’S SENTENCE.
Murderer of Phil Atwood Given
Trial at Hot Springs—Near
ly a Half Hundred Wit
nesses Examined.
Hot Springs, Jan. 12.—Forty
six witnesses in all have been
heard in the case of Houston
Hooker, the negro train porter
on trial for his life for killing
Conductor Phil Atwood, a por
tion of the evidence being heard |
in a session of court last night. |
The crowd is too great to find
room in the court house and
much interest is being shown in
the case.
The opening speech for the
state was made this morning.
The first speech for the defense
was made at 1:30 and the case is
expected to go to the jury before
5 o’clock.
The state has made a strong
case against Hooker and a ver
dict of guilty is expected.

establishing the fact that Hook
er had borne a bad character
and been a friend of Atwoods,
as this was admitted by the
prosecution, but the proof of in
tention to kill Atwood has been
established beyond a doubt.
Should the jury return a ver
dict other than guilty, it has
been said Hooker would not
leave the court room alive.
Sheriff Williams says he shall be
protected.
Later—After being out four
hours the jury returned a verdict
of guilty of murder in the first
degree.
The Magnetic North,
The belief in the constancy of the
Magnetic compass to the north pole has
•ot the least foundation in fact. At ev»
sry different place on the globe It points
In a different direction, and only one or
two of them are due north. In London,
(or Instance, it points to a place ab<Mt
IT degrees west of north. Seventy-eiX
yean ago it was still further away, be
ing then 24^4 degrees, or a quarter of
the way around to the west. In the year
1180 it pointed 11 degreee east. Then it
began to move north till 1659, when It
pointed due north. But it remained
thus only for a moment, passing around
to its greatest deflection in 160 yearn
tgaln it turned in 1820, and is still mov
ing nearer the north. It will not reach
that point for nearly a century and a
Saif, and so it will go on backward and
tMward forever.—H. T. Henift.
