Goes 10 the jury,


NRw YoRK, Sept, 20,-Two bright re-
spots marked the otherwise pale face Q
Henry s. Ives when he went into tb
court room this morning, Mr., Ives ais,
looked tired and weary, The excite
ment Of yesterday owing to the com
plete change OF front in his favor hsG
unneTyed him. II was only when Mr.
Brooke, his counsel, with his face
Wreathed in smiles, took him warmly BY
the hand that Ives frightened up, The
neryine was not lasting for he soon
lapaed into a deep reverie and seemed
unconscious Of surroundings,
The yexed question az to whether OF
not Ives will or not be placed on the wit
nesa stand has been settled, Mr., Brooke
said when spoken to to-day that II had
been definitely settled that Mr., Ives
would not 60 on the stand,
AS soon as court opened there was an
other move made that fora brief period
seemed to startle everybody,
" want Mr.. Julius Dexter, President
OF the Cincinnati, Hamilton 4 Dayton,

"How can l get himP" asked the re-
II demand that the district attorney
may produce him, as Mr., Dexter Is a.
complainant in this case"
Mr.. Brooke then went on to say that
Mr.. Dexter had attempted 10 prevent
the colored porter Of the road, ]. II. Jen-
nings, from leaving Cincinnati, and In
consequence the witness would not be
able TO get here until tomorrow morn

sci made an effort 10 place Mr.. Cook, q
lawyer, on the stand, contrary to his
statement OF yesterday that Mr., Cook
would not be wanted. The recorder
was not at all pleased with this back
move and told Mr.. Brooke 80, and added
that the court did not intend 10 permit
a step OF that kind taken without admin.
istering rebuke,
Mr., Edgar johnson once more took
the witness stand, although the prosecu.

stay.

effect that j, w. Jennings, the colored
porter, was an important witness, and
was on his way, TO this city. Ives was

Mr.. Brooke then moved for an I'D.
journment until tomorrow morning.
The District Attorney opposed this on
the ground that Saturday, being a half.
holiday, the proceedings could only last
an hour. Finally an adjournment was
had until Monday morning at II O'Clock.
While speaking ON the motion to ad-
journ, the District Attorney took occa-
sion 10 say that 1t was wholly and un-
qualifedly false that Mr., Julius Dexter,
or any one else, had interfered with any
