CROSS-EXAMNATION
AFTERNOON SESSION.
A Lively Time Over the Introduction OF a
Letter.


Several ladies made their appearance
in the audience before the opening Of
the afternoon session. On previous days
good many ladies visited the Court
House, but they have uniformly gone
into the third story corridor and looked
down on the Court room through the
windows.
The State announced it had but one
other witness to introduce in chief, and
she would be present at two o'clock,
her husband having gone to Elm Grove
to meet her. The defense also an
nounced that before the State closed it
desired to recall John Armstrong, Mr..
w C. Blair, Jacob Swtzer and Minnie
Marshall for cross examination. The
Court announced that the defense ought
to have its witnesses ready so it could
90 right on when the State rested.
