ST.. LOUIS, January 25.-Judge Dillon
rendered a decision upon the opening Of
the trial Of VIM. Mckee this morning,
ruling that the case must go on The
conspiracy had been one Of numerous
acts, and extending over a long period
Of time, and the declarations of the CO.
conspirators or accomplices must be
heard. II, however, when the case
should be all, in, and the connec,
ton Of VIM. Mckee with the con.
spiracy should rest solely on the
testimony Of the aecOmplices, then the
Court would instruct the jury how little
weight was to be attached to their evi
dence. The iutimation was that tn,
evidence Of the ring and McKee's con
nection with them would not be alon,
sufficient.
Following the decision Of the Judg,
the testimony Of Sanford NJ. Barton, TIL
manager Of the Bingham Bros St

tend the gas, supplying the place Of Mr..
Wilson, who formerly managed this i'm.
portant business, after some singing,
and the appearance Of something
not clearly seen by everybody present,
Peter put in an appearance and enter
tanned the audience by bantering Mr..
Shaw for not bringing a to take a cast
Of his toes according to promise. Peter
then retired, the curtains parted and the
r~edoubtable form of John King was seen
in close proximity to the stranger, who,
without any more ado, seized in his
grasp-not the spirit, bat the medium.
A cry and struggle was heard, the light
was turned on and Mr.. Herne found Sc
cured on either side by Mr.. Shaw and
the stranger who first seized him.
Around his legs we're found two news
papers, which had originally been pinned
inside the curtains to exclude any light
that might penetrate them; there was
also found a scarf wrapped up in such a
manner as to form a urban, the medium
himself having a sort of dazed, stupid
appearance The whole thing looked
like imposture of the grossest kind; at
least, such was the opinion expressed in
no mild terms by the sitters."
