e. L. Palmer and II. II. Carpenter for the de-
Tense. The nature ofthe indictment, the high po.
sitou ofthe defendant heretofore, and the distiu-
guished abilities Of Messrs. Ryan and Carpen-
ter. the counsel specially retained for the prose
entiou and defense, have combined to gre the
casc considerable interest for the Mi1wau-
keeaus.
The proceedings thus far hare been mainly
taken up with the testimony Of Miss Cook and
her parents. The story told by the former is
very much to the poiut-riralling in indecency

The counsel for the prosecution stated that
they expected to make out four points required
bg the statutes to establish = caze of seduction
First, that Booth did hare intercourse With the
girl in question: Seooad. that she was unmar-
ried; Third, that she was Of previous good

third, upon which Is Jet there has been no evi.
