The defense moved to have the testi-
mony all stricken out on the ground
Of ''irrelevancy."
This was overruled and the cross
examina ion was begun. Witness
said he had been made no prom sss
by the States Attorney or officers
who Simply told him he had better
tell the Truth. He did not know that
his testimony or statements would
prevent his being tried for murder.
The Cross examination was severe

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Not dull moment elapsed during
the morning. Jury, lawyers, judge aud
spectators were kept fxeilY, without
the slightest relax alton, at the same
high tension TO which they were
raised when the day . exciting develop
ments began in the early morning
hours. Each juror and all the defend
sdts were provided with broad pam
leaf fame, but despite the heat OF the
hest Of tbs room, the cooling articles
were given scarcely a thought, while
the owners with beads Of Precipitation
on their faces listened with
strained attention. When Mr.. Foster
had resumed the cross examination Of
Seeliger, after the recess, the conduct
of L nRg was study, as it gradually
became evident that the main pa t of
the inf0rmer's disclosures were over,
and that the lawyers for the defense
were inauRurating vigorous series OF
attacks 10 break the rec Of the mans

part OF bis composure. His eyes
were furiively raised from the
hoor. Then the Just visible
down on MS upper lip was softly
sIoked, as the lawyer began to en-
tangle the witness regarding minor
features Of the testimony. Finally
Lingg rested one heel on the lower
round Of his chair and drew the other
foot up in such manner as to form a
support fer large pad Of paper, upon
which he procetde1 to draw carics-
lures OF the informer. He YVES i'll at
ease, however, and pursued the
occupation fitfuly. Apparently in
spite Of himself, his attention
went to the witne s, and it was neces-
sary 10 resort to other expedients than
the drawing board to succeed in the
effort to maint, in sn attitude OF indlf
