Judge w. p. Whitehouse, Presiding

murder trial has not apparently abated. Mrs.
Beal sat beside her son just back Of the
defendants counsel She seemed quite
calm as did the prisoner. Her meetings with
her son have been quite affecting, but in
the court room she retains her composure
John c. Hall was the first witness called
by the government yesterday. He testified
that together with Mr.. Sanborn he sat up
with the body Of Mr.. Beal. Mr.. Sanborn
made the remark, That poison was never
put in the whiskey at Boston. 1t was put
in here for Mr.. Beal and Mr.. BeaI got it and
the one that put it in is going TO be found
out" Charles asked him why he
thought 80 and he told Charles they
were going tonvestigate the matter thorough
ly. Charles says, who is z The masons
Sanborn said, were going to the bottom of IT,
Then we told him what Furber said. Furber
said that Bcal exclaimed the id critters pois-

considerable talk by pack Of fools round
there. That if they would keep their noise
still there would be nothing said it would be

old man said. The old gentleman appeared
calm but Charles was bosterous.

sat near the stove smoking cigarette
when he went in. George soon said, I'm

out. His head twitched from side to side.
He said take me into some house, I'm
sick" Mr.. Dixon helped carry him out and
put him into the sleigh. George appeared to
be stiff. ~ he was being taken out some
