ton, in the murder case, were examined
this morning, Judge Peasants presiding
and the testimony for the prosecution has
closed. This afternoon the witnesses for the
defence were being heard, which will occupy
the greater part of the time, 80 that with the
close OF the testimony for the defence, and
the arguments, the case will probably not be
handed to the Jury before tomorrow. The
attendance to-day will not warrant the as
sertion that any special interest is taken in
the case, but there will probably be larger
attendance tomorrow.
