Time.
When the afternoon session opened,

and asked if he ever saw Harry Exley,

seen Harry Exley there.

He saw him al the Capitol Rink in JAN

of the seats. Christie came in and wanted
a reserved seat. He had no check, ana

down there and said he saw Glenn. Wit.
ness fixed the night by his seeing several
people at the show, among them Col.
White and DR.. Hupp. Witness seldom saw

MR. JORDAN OPENS.
This ended the testimony, and after a

at 4 O'Clock, with crowded court room

the iury of his words ct the opening, that
IL was either murder in the first degree or

He then proceeded TO review the circum-

IL was a crime for which there was nc
pslliation or excuse. He quoted from
the law and numerous authorities IN
defining the crime, and then reviewed
the evidence item by item, commenting ~

best men on the force and Catholic man,
