 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2e.-Dr. MacDonald's cross-exanination was resumed this morning. He had never known of an attack of insanity from which the patient recovered which last ed shorter period than six weeks or two months He had known cases which lasted only ten days, and even one day; such pa tients died. He reiterated his belief that the prisoner had been attempting to feign insan- ity. At this the audience showed disposi- ton to applaud. The demonstration was promptly checked, as all demonstrations by the audience are, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Dr. MacDonald's exami- nation closed about II o'clock. He has been of great value to the prosecution as wit ness.
 Dr. Barksdale, superintendent of the Gen. tral Lunatic Asylum, near Richmond, Va, who followed Dr. Mcdonald, full supported the latter's views as to the prisoner. He thought him sane, and that he was feigning. His direct examination was very brief.
 Dr. Callendar, superintendent of the State Asylum, of Tennessee. followed. His testi- :mony was similar in character to that of Drs. Macdonald and Barksdale. From an examination of the prisoners head, which he found to be somewhat unsymmetrical, though not more so than in many sane people, and from his observation of the prisoner in court he thought him sane.
