 fty. ==
 BALTIMORE, Md, Oct 24-The Hazeltine trial was continued this morning The State rested their case without the introdue- tion of further evidence. It was expected that number of witnesses would arrive this morning from Jamestown, N. Y., but they failed to appear. Governor Whyte stated that in their absence he had other witnesses that he would put on the stand to prove the insanity of the prisoner The defense will be that the prisoner is not of sound mind The witnesses from New York, it is under stood, will testify to the dullness and ee- centricity of Hazeltine in his boyhood The first witness called by the defense was Sam uel E. Vanwitzen, young lawyer of Bal timore. He met Hazeltine at Jamestown, N. Y., two months prior to the shooting, and had travelled with him. He said Hazeltine had acted very strangely at times At hotel in Toronto he tore up his stockings and the sheets, and the wit ness had to sit up with him all night When they arrived in Baltimore the prisoners con dition was verging on acute mania, the re- suit of the prolonged debauch on which they had been. Hazeltine had tried to purchase morphine at drug store to quiet his nerves, but the druggist refused to give it to him. The court took recess until 2~o. m.
 At p. m. the court reconvened and the examination of Mir. Vanwitzen was con tinued. On cross-examination his evidence was similar to that given at the direct examination. William H. Pearson, the DOT ter of the sleeping car on which the party came to Baltimore, was then examined. He testified that Hazeltine's appearance was that of man who had been on a spree. stated that the prisoner had given him an unusual fee of $10.
 Dr. Edson E. Boyd, of Jamestown, N Y., testified that he had known the prisoner five or six years, and that what he had seen of him during that time led him to believe that Hazeltine not of sound mind.
 Lieutenant Fraser swore that bottle la belled morphine was found in Hazeltine's pocket when arrested. Clayton Wertzeger, of Baltimore swore that Hazeltine came to his gun store on the morning of his arrival here and purchased two pistols. Mrs. Jugg, an Ohio lady, formerly of Jamestown, is the aunt of the prisoner. She testified to his morose disposition in boyhood and that on one occasion in 1873 he was brought from school in bewildered, wandering state of mind; he had once told her he would commit suicide because he was tired of life. The testimony of Otis S. Browne, medical student, formerly 8 clerk in Hazeltine's wholesale drug store at Jamestown, was to the effect that Hazeltine suffered from melancholia.
