II the jury's verdict is in by the end Of the
tenth week the progress of the trial must be pro-
portionally more rapid hereafter than it has been
heretofore The trial of Daniel E. Sickles for the
shooting OF Philip Barton Key, which was con-
Quoted In the same court, lasted only about three
weeks while the three trials OF Stokes for the kill
ing OF Fisk together occupied about ten weeks
fhe greater portion of the time has been con-
suned by the examination OF the experts The
INTRODUCTION OF expert testimony is generally the
cause OF long trials. For instance the trial OF the
kew. MIR. Hayden on the charge OF numbering
Mary Stannlrd, In which vast amount of in
formation concerning the revelations of the micro
scope was displayed by pretentious professors
before the wondering jurors, dragged along
through more than three months. The first trial
or jesse Billings for alleged wife murder in which
the experts directed their attention principally to
the characteristics OF boot traces the power of fire
arms, and the ability of the human skull and win
dow glass to resist bullets, lasted five weeks But
none OF these murder trials compares In length to
the case OF Tiltcn against Betcher, which con-
Sulned six months.
