Judge Treat opened court again this morning to a
packed house. The evidence introduced had no APP
parent bearing on the of Mcdonald, who was on
trial. and constituted very weak and puny defence

and 1t may be truthfuly said that they introduced
relevant testimony whatever, except that relating to
the previous good character of the defendant Tho
calling of witnesses most OF whom are among the
indicted to be simply for the purpose OF giving
the witnesses a chance to vindicate themselves.
william mckee, eX-C0lleCt0r; colonel Mcguire and
ex-Marshal Newcomb we're the principal witnesses.
MKER's TESTIMONY.
Tho testimony of William Mckee was regarded with
great interest from the fact that he has been prom
nent politician In the State for thirty years. and the
boldest advocate OF antslavery sentiment in anti
war times He Is controlling proprietor of the
Globe Democrat, and the weahest man yet indicted
Hisvtestimony quite lengthy but consisted chiefly
of elaborate denias OF his connection with the whiskey
frauds and denals detail of each particular charge
that has been made against him. He bitterly de-
nounced the charge of Fitzroy, that Joyce had paid
him $4 800 in FtZroys presence and said IL false
He denied that he had ever had any understanding
with Mcdonald, joyce, Megrue and Leavenworth,
whiskey Ring Mr. Mckee was visiby agitated during
the delivery OF his testimony, and spoke quito in
audibly.

clared he would not believe Megrue under oath. His

RUMQRs ABOUT THE JURY
The defence made by Mcdonald is considered poor
and his conviction is looked forward to certainty
Reports are still current to-day yesterday that the
jury has been tampered with in favor Of Mcdonald and
that Mcdonald know5 there Is man who will hang
the jury" II s of course impossible to get at the
truth ofthis report but there very large number
of people who think there Is good TO suspect
that the jury has been corrupted
