Sixth Day.
This Is Saturday and the crowds
around the court house are greatly aug
mented by large influx OF country peo-
pie, who are in the city to do their trad
ing for the week. Every available inch
of space In the galleries and auditorium
was filed to yerflowing by $3.50 Q. m.
and further admission TO the
court room had to be denied at
that hour. Court opened promptly
on time and there was . general craning
of necks to see the fair defendant, whose
reputation for lovliness of face and
figure has spread far and near. She ap.

who closely followed her and took g seat
next her daughter, immedisssly
in front of Judge Graves
wore an elegant black elk dress, with
white collar and cuffs, kid gloves and .
black bonnet; next came Miss mary
Jay, atEired in a maroon cOlored velvet
basque with bright buttons, and . black
silk skirt. She occupied . seat next 70
Mrs. Wallace, and remained, as has been
her custom, throughout the entire osy.
The first witness called was DIR. q. A.
Biddle. Direct examination. The hypo-
thetical questions asked DR.. Gardner and
the physicians yesterday were pro-
pounded by the prosecution. These
questions described Walkup's fatal Ill
Aess from its beginning, the Saturday
prior, up TO the time of his death, the
post mortem, and the chemical snAlysis
obtsined in his case. In the Doctors
opinion, Walkup might have had the
arsenic in his system four or i've dAyes
and dying as he did, the Doctor would
say that Walkup came 70 his
death by the administration OF three
large doses OF arsenic, the last not taken
longer than forty-eight hours before
death. It would not be possible II

previous TO his death. The doctor did
not think II an antidote had been admin

death, IL would haYe availed anything.
Cross examination-In the doctors

Walkup before the Saturday which
marked his first signs OF illness, had
been entirely eliminated from his system
before that time.
DIR. r. r. McCsndliss. Direct ex.
amination-The identical questions

the same IN each instance. The cross
examination was conducted in a similar
manner to that of the preceding witness
and ELECTED tho same facts.
DR.. D. F. LOugnecker, the next Wit
ness went through the same lengthy
hypothetical examination, and his evil
dehce was materially the same, and in
almost identical language with that
used by witnesses preceding him To day.
The doctor was present at the post NOR

DR.. J. ]. Wright: A repetition OF the
Hypothetical questions end answers
