mouth Park Association, sat near the bar.
| McLean's case was first called. In OPEN
ing, the prosecuting counsel stated that the
! defendant was indicted under the common
law for keeping disOrderly house, because
| he had been carrying on unlawful practices
| in boOkmaking at the Monmouth Park

The Maxwell Murder Case.
ST. LOUIS, May 2Sth-The proceedings
in the Maxwell murder case were rather
tame this morning, i'll comparison with
the last few days. the time being occupied
with expert medical testimony. Louis
Bauer, Dean of the ST. Louis College of
| Physicians and Surgeons, and Demon
strator of Surgery, testified for the defense
that the probability of death resulting
from the use of chloroform was very great,
even when administered by skilled physi-
clans; that the same amount given to two
men of equal physical strength might not
even render one of them unconscious.
while it might instantly kill the other
that the best chloroform ought to be used
IN all cases, and 1t ought to be chemically
analyzed before use. Young and inexperi-
enced physicians were always more careless
in its use than those of mature years and
| long practice. The testimony of DR. Bauer
consumed the remainder of the session, af-
Ter several depositions, taken in England,
tending to show that the defendant. while
being there, bore a good character, were
read. 1t is expected that witnesses for the
prosecution in rebuttal will be examined
tomorrow.
