"MAXWELL'S" TRIAL.
Important Evidence Given in the
Case Yesterday.
PRELLER's BODY FULLY IDENTIFIED
Interest in the Case Undiminished--- The
Prosecution Still Bringing Forward
Witnesses.

ST. LOUIS, May 2l.-The interest in the
Maxwell csse continues undiminished, and
at the opening Of the proceedings this
morning the crowd OF curious spectators
exceeded that in attendance on any pre-.
vious day. This was due perhaps to the
fact that witness was to be examined who
had positively identified the body found in
the trunk at the Southern Hotel as that OF
c. Arthur Preller. This witness proved to
be J. A. Frazer, of Toronto, Canada, for
many years photographer, but now por.
trait painter and eulptor. Mr.. Frazer
was placed on the stand and testified that
he had met Preller in Toronto a year ago
last February. He described, Preller as
he knew him then, and exhibited a por-
trait of him which he had painted. 1t
had been pronounced an excellent likeness.
BE was shown by Mr.. Mcdonald, of the
prosecution during the lstter's visit to
Toronto post mortem photograph Of
Prellers body, and had made the portrait
from it. Witness described his visit to St.
Louis after the murder; had visited the
cemetery in company with one OF the coun.
sci for the defense; had seen the cssket in
which Prellers body had been placed ex.
humed and recognized body without o
doubt as that OF c. A. Preller; he recog.
nized the corpse by the face and peculiar
scar over the left eyebrow; considered the
body to be in remarkably perfect state o.
The witness identified two
different photographs of Preller. The
cross examination failed to confuse the
witness and he stepped down from the
stand. 1t was evident that the Jurors and
spectators alike entertained no doubts as
to the identity of the body found in the
trunk.
Detective Tracey who traced Max veil
to San Francisco aud brought him back to
this city from Auckland, New Zealand,
produced in court several articles Of cloth.
ing marked &c. A. P" shirt badly torn
and covered with blood and supposed to be
that which Maxwell removed from Preller's
body Immediately after the murder; during
the passage from Auckland. Maxwell told
him that he had purchased these things
from a man in San Francisco named Rob.
hsou.
The witness described incidents OF the
return passage and repeated conversations
which he had with the prisoner. During
one OF the latter he asked Maxwell how
much money he had just previous to his
departure from st. Louis on his way to |
San Francisco, and he replied, About
100000 but had spent great deal of it
IN the trip end in San Francisco When
asked what had become OF the remainder he
referred him TO his lawyers.

That Night Soil and Other Fiith Can be
Consumed by Fire.
Through the kindness OF Mr.. Reister,
Manager OF the Belmont mill, the Health
Department, last evening, made another
experiment in burning night soil, garbage
and bones. This time the Smith gas iur.
mace was used and it was found 10 be an
improvement. Two barrels Of night soil,
one OF garbage. and one OF bones, were de-
stroyed. The furnace was heated up md
u barrel OF garbage was thrown IN first IL
was consumed in a li'.,.e over three min.
utes. Next tie bones were con.
verted ir,o ashes and charcoal
in s5out five minutes Then half barrel
of soil, which was more than half water,
was mixed With cinder and thrown into the
furnace aud Was destroyed in something
like seven minutes. Then one aud one
half barrels Of soil were poured into the
furnace by means Of buckets through
three doors. The furnace Was at white
heat by this time, and each door
was used successively, starting
Oy pouring Duckeuui lDto No
l and so on up to No. ,. BY the time
they got back TO No. |, the bucke,ful
thrown into it had been consumed, and in
this way it was only few moments until
the whole had been consumed.
The Mayor and q number OF other prom.
inent gentlemen were present and were
highly pleased with the successful outcome
of the experiments, the credit for which is
greatly due Supt. Darrah. Of the Gas
Works. Mr.. Reister slso deserves hearty
thanks for his kindness. The question is
now definitely settled that night soil and
other filth can be consumed iD this man.
ner and all that is necessary now is TO
have q gas furnace erected OF suitable size
where the city's filth can be disposed Of.
