"Was he really sick, or Oft at the Centen-

f'Of at the CentenDia1.'
"Did not Burllng ascertain that, and for that
reason refuse to sign this leave Of absence!"
II don't know what Mr.. Burling did know
about it.''
"Was the application made before he went
away, or after he got bacG3'
"Aftcr he came. back"
This closed the testimony finally and ahso-
lntely, and the Court said he had concluded
that the proper way for the jury to visit the
building was in company with himself and no
one else.
j., ALI the counsel chimed in with an opinion
that that was the proper way to do it.,
An attempt was then made, through the me-
dlum OF consultation between Court and coun-
sci, to arrange as to the
ORDER OF THE ARGUMENTS.
The only thing on which all the counsel were
agreed, however, was on asking two DAYS for
each side, with the possibility in view, however,
that they might get through In three days With
the talking on both sides. .
The Court announced that as some Of the
counsel preferred not to come again at O'Clock,
when he did adjourn in the afternoon he would
adjourn until $50 O'Clock Tuesday morning.
lhe Jury would be present at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, IN order to make formal adjourn
1nent. In the Interval he and the iury would
visit the building.

particularly during the last twenty-three days.

IN black broadcloth ind without wings Tuesday
afternoon: although as to the amount Of time
to be taken b5 any Of the counsel nothing def
mite is as yet known. Mr. Lackner will follow,
tn order, for Prussng; Mr.. McCagg for Barlng;
probably Mr.. Boutelt for the Government; then
Mr. HoYpe for his clients, Mueller, Mills, and j!
Reed, In batch; and Mr.. Campbell will have |
the last word for the prosecution. !
The defendants confidently LOOK forward to |
an acQuittal about next Thursday or Friday. !
and the general idea seems to be. among those |
Who have kept the run OF things, that none Of |
them will ever wear the regulation garb at Joliet
At THE BUILDING.
The jury devoted an hour after lunch to the |
examination Of the Beuna Vista stone in the |
1ew Custom-aouse in company With judge
Dyer and the Superintendent. They seemed
specially struck with the pseltng qualities as
een in the basement, together NTH the patches
md hollow piers on which the building rests,
they worked hard during their hours inspec-
ion, and the result must be that they have
aimed some new ideas on the subject Of the
tructnre. |
