THE sTURLA TRIAL.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE bitterly cold
had dampening effect on the
public interest in the Sturla trial to-day,
and there was not the wonted rush to the
criminal court room previous to the hour
for the proceedings to commence, in order
to obtain good seat. The attendance of
ladies especially showed a marked de-
crease. Before the hearing of testimony
was resumed, however, the court room was
filed. Several physicians testified thst
they believed the prisoner to be insane.
Drs. Lacourrer, Brewer and Lyman all
gave evidence to this effect. Quite scene
occurred during the cross-examination of
Dr.. Brewer, between whom and ia ,roso
cutting attorney dispute arose. Mrs.
W. P. Black, ~1ra of the late
Democratic caru1date for congress. was
put on the stand and examined as to Stur-
la demeanor in confinement. She is one
OF 'ne most ardent of the sympathizers of
lie unfortunate woman. Lawyer Trude
testified as to interviews with his client.
Mrs. Stiles, the mother of the murdered
man, was called in rebuttal, and gave evi.
dence of her cordial relations with her hus~
band, and how he happened to be taken
to her sons house when i'll. J. r. Stiles,
uncle of Charles, was sworn also in rebuff
tai as to the circumstances of the death of
his brother and nephew, and Sturla's be-
havior when he had seen her after each oc-
currence. He swore Sturla told him she
was Charles Stiles banker and had as much
as $1,000 of his money at one time. After
rigid cross-examination was finished,
court adjourned until tomorrow.
THE BOND OUTRAGE.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
TAYLoRv1I1E, ILL.,, Dec. AFTER labor
ing earnestly and untiringly for several
days in hunting up the facts in the out
rage on Miss Bond, the grand jury found
and returned to the court true bill charg-
ing John G. Montgomery, VIM. J. Monts
gomery, Emanuel Clement, Lee Pettus-
and DR.. Varmillion as being the perpetra-
tors of the heliish act. When the parties
were first suspected, VIM. J. Montgomery
was arrested, but on hearing the evidence
that came up before the preliminary exami-
nation in August he was discharged. AS
soon as the grand jury returned the in
ri cfm emit this afternoon a hanph usrra n I
was issued for his arrest, and an officer is
now in search of him. Miss Bond
is still very low, and there seems
to be but little hope of her recovery. The
protrusion in the small of her back is
gradually growing larger and much more
painful, and cannot be checked by physi-
clans. Her extreme suffering seems to be
periodical, that is, she will rest easy one
day and be racked with pain the next. AS
to-day was expected to be one marked by
suffering, her physicians went to her bed
side last night, and remained there. They
used every precaution within their knowl-
edge, but with no effect. She was seized
with spasm about o'clock this morning
which lasted several hours.
