ined---The State Attempts to Im-

when court opened yesterday morning.
The knowledge that DR.. Garrison would
probably be placed upon the stand
whetted the public curiosity to keen
edge, and!before ten o'clock the court
room was crowded and iammed.
The Doctor was given a rent for q
while in the morning, however, and
several other witnesses were examined
before he went on. DR.. Garrison was .
good witness for himself, and was cool
and collected throughout the time he
was on the stand. He did not get mixed
once, and almost every time he answer
ed question he put in a few words Of
feeling.
His examination closed about 4 o'clock
and the License rested q few minutes
after5. Ilas morning the Febuttal be-
gins, and it now looks as ii the case will
be given to the jury before the week
closes. .-a
Col. Arnett:apologizcd to the court and
to the attorneys for having used the
words"it's lie' in court the day before
in connection with statement alleged
to have been made by him in the
Wheeling Register. Captain Dovener
very gracefully acknowledged the apol-
ogy, and found very plausible excuse
for the Colonel, and all was serene.
DR.. Il. w. Hazlett was the first witness
called. He has lived in Wheeling thir.
ty years, and has known DR.. Garrison
seven or eight years; he lives about
three blocks from DR.. Garrison, and
has known his reputation to be good.
On cross examination he said he had
known DR.. Garrison to be in quarrels
and contentious.

for the defense who testified to seeing
the shooting on Saturday, was recalled

Objection by Arnett. Captain Doyen-
er said he wished to show that what he

which such questions could have any
part in the case Captain Dovener pro.
