marked the otherwise pale face of Henry s.
Ives when he entered the court room this
morning. Some people would term il
hectic flush. Mr.. Ives also looked tired and
weary. The excitement Of yesterday, owing to
the complete change Of front in his favor
yesterday, had unnerved him. The change
or transformation was perceptible to every
one. 1t was only when Mr.. Brooke. his counsel,
wreathed in smiles, took him warmly by the
hand that Ives Frightened up. The nerve was
deep reyerie and seemed lost to all the
surroundings. The vexed question e. to
whether or not Ives will be placed on the wit

be able to get here until tomorrow morning.
Failing to move the recorder, counsel made an
effort to 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 Ar. Brooke So,
and added that the court did not intend to per-
NIT step Of that kind to be taken without ad-
ministering rebuke.
MR. EDGAR M. JOHNSON
once more took the witness stand, although
the prosecution protested vigorously.

left his seat after such a short stay.

ground that Saturday being a half holiday the
proceedings could only last an hour. Finally

followed up with bitter denunciation Of the
accusations and insinuations made during the
course OF the trial by Mr.. Brooke for
the defense and directed at the office
OF the district attorney. Mr.. Brooke arose TO
reply but was cut short by the recorder On
Monday there is only one more witness to be ex-
amined-the porter Jennings. Then the case
