THE INNING TRIAL.
The Biz Suit Getting Fairly I'm
der Way.

/ NCA ~
Yesterday there was the usua
crowd in the cnnrt room watching
the progress of the trial. Many o.
the spectators were anxious to CT .
look at some of the famous experts
regarding them somewhat Ill the
light that Chi dren look upon wi d
beasts in q mensgerie. Hon. Thomas
Wren did most Of the talking TO,
tie Northern Belle people. Wren
has q very marked face. His fore
| head is slmost big enough for a
| creedmore target and his bushy
eyebrows hang out like clump OF
| chapparal on a mountain side. His
nose has almost exactly the same
angle that is noticeable in the
Northern Belle original location as
marked on the map, and his ample
mouth would be considered by ex
perts as 9 true assure No one ever
accused Wren of being a dandy, he
t.vels solely on his legal merits
and despises lavender neck ties, dia-
mond scarf pins and big cuff but
tons. His unusually jaunty appear
ance in Coart, however, would seem
to indicate that his fee in the case is
over $40 600. Wren is strong on
the cross examination and when he
closes with witness is pretty sure
to either trip Kim or shake him Mp
lively and tum BILE him about.
The day was consumed in finish
ing the cross examination Of Sur
veyor Reeves, taking the testimony
of Surveyor Anderson and beginning
that of expert Raymond. Nothing
of interest was deve oped in the
Reeves testimony. Anderson ex .
planned his model. and took the
Court and jury. with its aid and

tramp with him through the levels
of the Northern Belle from the sixth
to the second vertical shaft
level. In his direct examination he
was certain that the workings be
de,criked were continuously 10 ore
or ledge matter from the Belle sixth
level to the hot stope. Under
the skil!ful cross-questi"ning Of
Mr.. Wren, however, considerable
uncertainty as to that fact was de-
veloped. He found 4 foot wall, or
"a sort of a foot WALL" on nearly
every level or stope that he de
scribed. but in some places he
found his foot wal, running nearly
east and west, and in others near y
north and south, and he admitted
that he did not think these to be
one and the same foot wall.
Professor Raymond, the ex.
pert, next took the stand. He wore
. skull cap of the Garabsldi p .ttern
and the spectators supposed of
course that the Court would order
him to uncover the apex of his
head in accordance with its usual
rules, but no such order was made,
