There is another turn in the kaleidoscope
OF the More case, this time in favor of the
prisoner. Witness Stone some DAYS since
identified, by its marks, the ball found on
the scene of tie murder, as having been
iired from Lords Spencer rifle. This
morning two experienced shots were in
troduced, who produced about a dozen
cartridge shells fired from the same gun,
the marks on which varied on nearly every
she'll; besides this the prosecution had
known that Ferral, whom Curlte had
sworn was with hin on the fatal night up
IN Poli Canyon, was not in the county for
a month previous, nor since. The defense
now proved by the physician who pre-
scribed for him, by his brother-in-law, and
by a restaurant h. per, that he was in the
county at that time and long after, but was
hidden, as he did not wish to testify
against a man named Clark, who had cut
him in the arm. This evidence, if not sue
cessfully impeached, destroys the corrob-
aration Of Jones State evidence. which the
Court has he d to be necessary. 1t looks
now as though the arguments will not be
commenced until tomorrow.
