The st. Louis Murder Case.
ST. LOUIS (Mo.), May 10TH Brooks,
alias Maxwell, ON trial for the murder of
Preller, was taken into the Criminal Court
this morning. The prisoner maintains his
quiet demeanor and processes great relief
at having been allowe by his attorneys to
make a true statement of the manner in
which Preller came to his death, and feels
confident that public opinion has already
acquitted him of intentional crime. All
the witnesses for the State were present in
body, and are kept under strict surveill-
ance by Sheriff Hunt.
The clerk of the Southern Hotel was the
first witness of the morning. and his exam
ination and cross-examination consumed
the greater part of the morning He testi-
fed that he was cashier of the hotel at the
time of the murder. He identified the
prisoner as the man who, in April 1885.
registered as W. II. Lennox Maxwell NJ
D." He identified the photograph as that
of Preller, who arrived at the hotel on
April Sd. His testimony was repetition
of the fact known of the intimacy of the
Englishmen, Maxwelrs apparent lack OF
money, the disappearance of Preller, the
departure of Brooks for San Francisco, and
the discovery of the body in the trunk.
During the cross-examination witness ad-
mitted that he had no means of knowing
that the man who registered as c. Arthur
Preller did not register that name as an
alias he had gone to the Morgue after
Preller's body had been placed there, but
could not identify it; could not even state
positively that the remains were those of a
human being.
William Lyon and John NanyOn, porters.
identified the remains of Preller. They
testified that Maxwell evidenced great de-
sire TO be closely intimate with Preller.
a witness named Warren met Maxwell
and Preller on the steamer Caphalona and
witnessed their introduction to each other
Maxwell cultivated Preller assiduously.
After recess, Renick Brown, who had
charge of the billiard-room at the Southern
Hotel at the time of the murder. testified

gether almost every afternoon. Preller
being inexperienced, paid for most of the
games and drinks, and in doing so exhib-
tied money in large amounts. Whenever
Maxwell paid for anything it was generally
with small change.
Maggie Cuddy, Il chambermaid, recog-
nzed the prisoner as the occupant of room
No. IA, during part of the month of April,
1885. The prisoner was a late riser, and it
was IL o'clock before she could ever get
into his room to perform her duties but
on Monday morning after the death of
Preller, the prisoner had arisen very early,
for she saw him in one of the corridors at
about 6 A. N. He appeared nervous and
excited.
