NEW YORK, Sept. THE Heralds special
says: The revolving character of the evidence
now being adduced in the Wirz trial, in sup
port of the prosecution, is said to be weighing
heavily on the mind Of the accused, and tor
turing him with the most fearful apprehensions
as to the decision of the Commission.
Hearing the case, some people who have
been watching the demeanor of the prisoner
closely, gave opinion that should he continue to
be prey to the fearful doubts that now beset
him, he will not survive another month So
far about forty witnesses have been examined
in the case. The record makes eleven or
twelve hundred foolscap pages of testimony.
At the rate testimony has been taken to-day
four or five days more will suffice to close the
case for the government. The prisoner con-
tinues to occupy place at the table with his
counsel in writing and making suggestions to
them as to cross examination.
Brevet Maj Gen. Jno. Miller has resigned
his commission in the army and will in a few
days take his departure for his home in Cali
fornia.
