time simply to say that The testimony OIL
the part Of the prosecution was closed on
Wednesday of last week. Mr.. Tracy on
the same day commenced his opening re-
marks for the defence. II as much time
is consumed by the defence as by the
prosecution the case will not end till the

trial and its consequences. are less than
useless at the present Stage The theories
entertained by the attorneys. pro and con.
are not sufficiently developed to enable
anyone 10 form probable conjecture
as TO The guilt or Innocence of the accused.
The hope is. that there is but one side to
