Evidence in the Trial Of Solomon David Moore,
at Mcrristcwn, N. j., Yesterday-A Strong
Fight Being Made for the Prisoner
Peculiarities of the Defence
MoRRIsTOwN, N. j., Feb. +,


The trial Of Solomon David Moore was resumed
at hal-past nine O'Clock this morning before
Judge Dalrymple. The counsel on both sides were
promptly on hand, and the proceedings immedi-
ately commenced. The jurors who were locked
up for the night, were brought into Court in the
custody OF two officers
The evidence yesterday was very interesting,
and the counsel for the defence manifested greater
animation than on the preceding day. stronger
case Is being made out for Moore than was thought
possible, and although the prosecution have
produced some very damaging evidence there
has been nothing yet elected which directly con-
meets Moore with the killing The prisoner himself
seemed more anxious than on yesterday and
manifested some feeling when his little son was
placed upon the witness stand. The court room
was crowded to suaocation, making the atmos-
phere OF the limited apartment foul almost to op-
preston. The gallery was filed with ladies, who
held on to their seats during the entire day. Be.
