f Defeadaat.
Van Goodell la expected to take the stand
In Ms own behalf this afternoon and will
testlry that he knew nothing of the death of
Edna Kennett until he was Informed next
doy thst he had shot her.
The testimony of the prisoner will follow
that of numerous other witnesses In his be
hslf, prominent among whom Friday morn
ing waa his father, Stephen Goodell. If.'S
sister, Abble Uoodell, hsd been the leading
witness of the afternoon previous.
Altogether the defense scored some po.nts.
ftephen Goodell corroborated his daughters
statement that he had been a heavy drinker
for many )ars and before the defendant's
birth. Dr. Arthur B. Adams, a Florence
physician, deposed that Goodell had been
suffering from nervous tremors and unco
ordinated movements of the hand and body
muscle at noon the day of the shooting,
and J. H. Peterson, a bartender . of
Florence, gave evidence about queer be
havior of Goodell In the paat. Goodell waa
accustomed, said Peterson, to taking a chair
Into the corner and sit there, head sunk on
breast, for long periods. Then he would
suddenly get up and dance and aing.
The Ftlday morning session began with
a pro-formal objection on the part of plain
tlif's counsel to a session on the trial being
held on Lincoln's birthday. Judge Eears
declared that If there was any reason to be
lieve that Friday waa a legal holiday he
would adojurn. Attorney Slabaugh replied
that he could not so show, but thst during
a trial a defendant'a counsel might register
msny exceptions on the spur of the mo
ment "which might later prove of value to
his cflenf In other words, in the event of
an appeal to a higher court.
oenael la Clash.
There was one clash between counsel dur
ing the morning. The county attorney was
examining Peterson, the bartender, and
speaking with reference to Goodell' leaving
Omaha Inquired. "This was after he had
cut a man up?"
"I object," shouted Slabaugh. "The prose
cuting attorney Is making this reference,
which I not In evidence, with the sole view
of prejudicing the jury and trying to drive
this man t3 the penitentiary."
"I am not driving htm to the peniten
tiary." replied English with emphasis on
the word "penitentiary," and the answer
was generally Interpreted as meaning a
death penalty was being sought
James Finney waa another witness of ths
morning. He waa brought In to testify
that he and Goodell were shaved the even
ing of September 2 In a Florence barber
shop. This is to nullify the testimony of
J. II. Andrews, who deposed that he shaved
Goodell In the aiternoon In his shop across
the street from where Edna Kennett lived.
Abble Goodell swore Thursday afternoon
that her father had been a heavy drinker
all his life and for the last ten years had
been an habitual drunkard.
The girl made the statement without
flinching, but her words made every man
and woman within earshot quiver, for all
knew that the girl waa uttering this In
dictment of her father o help save from
the hangman's noose the neck of hie son,
her brother.
Hallaelaatlon Vividly Narrated.
Through the questions of his counsel
Miss Goodell vividly related all the Inci
dents she knew which might be deemed a
helping to establish the defense of In
sanity. She told of one scene at her home
In Florence:
"I heard a su lden loud noise In the
kitchen and running In saw Van standing
there, his eyes staring aa though aomeonu
was near him. The room was empty. Van:
Van! I called to him.
"He paid no attention. 'Speak to me,
Edna,' he cried. 'Speak to me' I
"I iold him no one was there, but he
did not hrod. Suddenly he jumped as it
to Citch her, and then shouted, 'See how
fast she can run!'
"Van the ran out of tha house aa If
pursuing someone."
Beside her testimony about her father,
which Included a statement that he had
been a heavy drinker before her brother
birth, Utsa Goodell swore that Goodell had
always been nervous and that her two sis
ter were subject to frequent attack of
nervous prostrstion.
Coort Haulage Bafflea Defease.
But Abble Goodell's sister was not per
mitted to say much about hia state of mind
with reference to Edna Kennett, the girl
he killed. From witness after witness Judge
Slabaugh of the defense attempted to get
an answer to questions about what Goodell
thought of tha girl or how his relations
with her affected his mind, but the wit
nesses were not permitted to answer these
questions. Every objection raised by County
Attorney English along this Una waa aua
talned and the detenae had exceptions by
the score noted In the record. If the case
goes agaiusl Uoodell there will be an ap
peal to the supremo court of some length
made by the defense.
W. H. Thompson. In whose home Goodall
lived for two weeks In Florence, told the
Jury how Uoodell stole from the house one
night with a shotgun, on of two which
Thompson hsd put In Goodell room after
the latter had come, there, in order to get
the gun out of th way downstairs. H
followed Goodell when he found the loss
and (racked blm to the car tracks. In a
weed patch Ooodell lay aaleep. He had
Just missed a car downtown. Thompson got
the gun away. He testified that Goodell
acted queerly and thla had been noticed as
soon aa he came to the house. The county
attorney on cross-examination brought out
th fact that Thompson put the guns in
the rcom after the time he claimed to have
discovered that Goodell seemed "queer."
Mrs. Thompson also testified and thought
Goods .1 queer a little, at least.
Mrs. Adam, wife of the physician to
wbenTGoode;i went th aoon of September 4,
teatlf.ed that his pupil ware dilated. The
afternoon dosed with Frank Killtan, a fel

Romance and history He to closely en
twined about Old Virginia that it seema Im
possible to tell where one begins and the
other ends. From Jsmestown to Appomatog
Court house, the days of the Old Dominion
are daya of stirring action, and the night
are disturbed by dreams In which conquests
of arms and conquests of hearts commingle
as the sweet weters of two streams uniting
to form a river, and on Its broad course the
sons and daughters of Virginia go on and
on forever, cherishing the things that were
and the hopes that are. To call th roll
of Virginia's heroes Is to reclt the roter
of the families of the stste. And from that
day 'sty back yonder In the morning of
the seventeenth century, when the first
English colony was planted on American
soil, down till now, 'the women of Virginia
hsve stood side by side with the men.
And Virginia wss sorely stricken during the
war of the rebellion. Nowhere else was the
struggle so fierce, so titanic; nowhere else
did- the flood of war roll so deep or dnsh so
high as over Virglols, And nowhere, prob
ably, do memories of that struggle, both
sweet and bitter, abide as they do in Vir
ginia. What a field for the novelist and drama
tist 1 here afforded may be judged by the
fact that the war stories and the war plays
are nearly all pictured with Virginia as
a background. Her own son. Thomas Nel
son Page, has wltt rare tenderness pictured
some of the phes of the sentiments of
her people In "Marse Chan," "Meh Leddy."
"The Colonel's Christmas." "The Burial of
the Guns." and other short stories, and In
"Red Rock" has told better than any other
writer of the conditions that surrouuded the
work of reconstruction. Hopklnson Smith,
In hia delicious "Colonel Carter of Carters
ville," has afforded a lighter, but nonethe
less Intimate and tender glimpses of Vir
ginia and Virginians; and Bronson Howard
and Gillette, and now the younger de Mills
have taken Virginia as the scene for
dramas of deep Interest. It may be the ef
fort la a little strained, that the action Is
melodramatic, and some of the sentiment!
a trifle trite, but the fact remains that love
story never grows tiresome, and especially
when It Involves the Innermost springs of
brave men and women who are worthy of
the name.
And such a drama Is de Mille'a "The
Warrens of Virginia." It Is very aimple.
Th day before Lee surrendered to Grant
General "Buck" Warren of the confeder
ate army Is ordered to take a few days'
rest from his duties and retire to his home
until recovered from his lllnes. His home
at that moment Is In the hands of the
union forces, commanded Just then by
General "Jim" Griffin, who is Warren's
old-time comrsde and at present dearest
foe. Thesa mm may represent Sheridan and
Early, or any other of the numerous pairs
of brilliant offieera whose wita were pitted
against each other s In the great gume of
war. Griffin has tried In vain to trap War
ren, and has failed. But now he generously
gives his enemy a pass so he may be taken
to his home to be nursed. In the meantime
the problem Is to overhaul and capture a
supply train that Is pro.-e-dlng from Lynch
burg to succor Ix-e's army. General Grif
fin discovers that Lieutenant Burton of
his army Is In love with General Warren'
daughter and wants permission to call on
her. He orders the young man to csrry
false orders, that he may be captured, and
General Warren deceived.
The ruse succeeds, but not until after
Miss Warren has confessed bar love for the
lieutenant. General Warren change Lee'
plans and fall Into the trap set for him,
the aupply train la eaptured and the last
hope of the confederacy Is dashed. But the
young lover stand convicted of tha basest
of deceit; It matters not that he la a
soldier under orders, he Is denounced by
the woman he love and discarded by th
family that was so glad to welcome him,
regardless of difference In politics. He re
fuse to eecape. tears up th pass given
him by th girl he loves and stay to be
ahot. But the surrender end the shooting
and he goes hi way. Fiv year later. In
