the Hertin case has been unahatet
throughout the day, and the crowd ha.
Increased rather than diminished. tn,
case has been conducted. as heretofore
not, however, without considerable spar.
ring between counsel which IL Witnessed
with apparent great delight by lockers on.
The demeanor Of the accused Is I'M
changed, no trace OF interest, emotion OF
concern being manifest at any time in his
couutenance. His mother and wife stll
attend him, aud the three form quite an
interesting group Mrs. Barradal also
remains constantly In court, and increases
the high opinion previously formed of
her. Continuing the line OF defense here.
totore adopted the defendant occupied
most OF the day with some dozen or more
witnesses of all sexes and ages, who
testified very freely and positively to the
insanity Of the defendant.
Tho testimony of some OF the fellow
workmen and all OF the relatives of the
accused, was particularly strong on this
| question, and many incidents, acts add
doings OF the defendant were put in evil
dcnce In support Of their opinions.
The jury, composed of some OF the bost
! men IN the county aud of very fair intel
ligeuco, while giving the testimony the
very beat attention aud mantle sting great
/ interest IN the case, have not by any
means lost sight OF the ludicrous features
/ Of the matter. As an evidence OF this,
Messrs. Ball and Furman, the Hot
| spurs OF the case, were nota little sur
prlScd to-day at noon when they received
| tnf toll hat fI.a.. h...l
lined twelve cigars for contempt
Of the jury Capt. Ball, IL is understood,
paid his part OF the iine, but it Is not
known what MIR. Furman win do.
Up TO this time the state has introduced
seven witnesses on the question OF in
sanity, Mesars. Claude jackson, w. A.
Aaron, Ed Mason, d. z. Blakely, James
Woods, A. A. Medley and DR.. Fltzhugh,
all OF whom testify that IN their opinion
the defendant was sane. OF these Messrs.
Blakeley, Woods aud Medley were guards
at the jail in Fort Worth, aud were intro
duced IN support of the position OF the
prosecution that the insanity OF the defen-
dant was fcigncd. They ali testified that
when lirst confined the conduct of the
defendant was quite natural, but that
on certain summers eve, after the first
visit from his attorney, he became a
changed man--reticent, moody and as
fredul az large drove Of poIcupines.
Wherein this change consisted, however,
was not very manifest.
DR.. Fitzhugh was introduced and dual.
He'd as an expert, though II appeared in
cross-eNamination that some few years
since he had found time from the press of
professional engagements 10 mix with the
hoaler's art the occupation of vendor OF
the "ardent." lie testified that he
had a conversation with the de-
tendant in the jail from which
among other things he believed him sane,
but disclosed the fact further on that the
conversation was made up solely by his
own talking, in which the accused said
never word. The examination of this
witness was picnic 70 the byatanders,
and II must be said here that more than
once the doctog fairly got the laugh on
Mr.. Ball With the conclusion OF the
dOctor's testimony court adjourned and
the state will continued tomorrow. It's
not considered that the case will be con-
cluded before Friday evening and possibly
may occupy Saturday.
