The immense crowd in the morning
had not only completely barred the
front entrance to the court room, but
had caused much inconvenience in va
riOus ways. This stuck in Deputy
Lukenheimer'S craw, and in the after
noon he admitted few besides those in
tereSted in the case. There are a lot
of people," said he, ''who come here out
of curiosity only, and have 10 business
whatever to do So" When court opened
at 2:l0 but few persons occupied the
benches. Judge Kelly announced that
he had considered the question of decla-
ration of citizenship, and had decided to
hold it before the court as prima facie
evidence.

tinued. He said he was engaged in
business OH Western avenue, and had
read the accounts of the murder in the
