work to laugh at some of Miss Moores replies to Mr.
Fullerton OF to whisper information to counsel.
Mr.. Beechers lawyers still very reticent as to
the order in which they will put in their testimony
Bessie Turner was in all day yesterday, and it
was thought that she would be witness at the
close of Mrs. Putnam's testimony. 1T is supposed
that she will testify next after Miss Oakley. and
that Mr. Beecher will follow, but nothing positive
is yet known as to the plans of the defense.
Judge Nelson carried ont his resolution to have
smaller number of persons in the courtroom yester
day, and few persons not directly interested in the
case were admitted. The result was that the atmos-
phere of the reOm was much purer than 1t has been
any previous day of the trai. During the recess
the windows were opened. and the air of the
room was thoroughly changed. Efforts are
making to supply better means of ventilation for
the -room and it is hoped that this, together
with the diminution of the number of spectators,
will make the air pure enough to allow the trial to
60 on without endangering the health of those com
