Proceedings This Morning.
RELIC.HUNTERS ABOUT.

The Court was opened at 10 o'clock, all the
members being present, and as usual, the pro-
ceedings were commenced by reading the long
record Of the previous days proceedings. The
prisoners appear much as usual this morning.
Mudd seems to be in good spirits, apparently
gathering encouragement from the evidence IN
his behalf on Saturday to the effect that the
clsndestine gatherings in the pines near his
residence were of parties avoiding arrest by
Gen. Sickles as long ago as 1861.
Among the witnesses in attendance on Satur-
day, but who were not examined were John
Ford, proprietor Of Fords Theater, and his
two brothers They and all the empI yees of
the theater excepting Spangler) have been un-
conditionally discharged from Gus tody, hav-
ng undergone rigid investigation and nothing
appearing to implicate any of them.
There is very large attendance OF ladies
this morning, the fair weather having the
effect of bringing them out. The relic hunters.
Is well as the artists for the pictorial papers,
have found their way to the court room. and In
Gefault OF any more available objects to carry
away, they on Saturday appropriated some
Spools OF the court room red tape, which was
quickly divided into short lengths and dis
trihuted pro rata.
The chairs, tables, DC, also begin to suffer
some, and 1t is probable that unless an Argus.
