almost as large crowd as did the grand

through the streets with all the regu-
larity and precision of a troop Of veter-
ads, they presented one of the prettiest
sights that will be seen during the entire
gathering. The grand encampment
held another meeting H. the Masonic
Temple during the evening.

parade, in which over s.500 wheelmen
participated. Every rider carried at
least one Chinese lantern with him, and
many of the wheels were fitted with
elaborate designs of lanterns and bunt-
ing.

at $50 and at once went into closed ses-
sion. During the day will come the
election of officers and probably the
location of the next conclave The
exodus from the city has already begun.
Train after train is being made up foi

west for mountain trips or to Salt Lake
A large delegation OF the Illinois people
left at q late hour for that place. Most

ALICE MITCHELL EXCITED.
She Loses Her Composure Under tn
Cross-ENamiuation.

CAOsh-IlA hu1llaIlOn
MEMPHIS, TENN, July 27.-The case Of
Alice Mitchell. on trial in the criminal
court. attracted great crowd to-day. The
testimony of the exports, which uniformly
tended Co establish the theory OF Inherited
insanity, was concluded and the defendant
was placed upon the stand and subjected TO
a rigid examination, which she bore with
comparative equanimisy. She rehearsed
the story Of the killing with but little diver
gence Erom the story as heretofore pub
lished. She admitted that she was infatu-
ated with the deceased Freds Ward, that
she had tried to kill her on previous ooca-
sions and was prevented at one time by her
razor sticking In her dress pocket and at
another by the publicity OF the place in
which she found her.
THR INTENDED MARRIAGE,
The story of the intended marriage was
rehearsed with great amplitude, and the
way she intended to raise a mustache by
shaving was explained. She declared that
she used to like Miss Joe Ward, sister to
the deceased, until that young lady took the
stand in the present trial and told lot of
lies about her. Just now it would not be
safe for Miss Ward to trust herself in her
power, Miss Mitchell seems TO more fully
realize the gravity OF her situation, and Is
losing more and more of her former defiant
air OF self-confidence. Several times TO day
she showed excitemement, her voice became
tremulous and her face flushed whom she
discovered that she had been betrayed into
a blunder by the cross questions Of the
states counsel.
DRAMATIC RECITAL.
Miss Mitchell answered all questions
nationally. She said she had known Freda
ever since she could remember. She told OF
her folio wing Freda and of the latter wink
ing at her with her right eye, which signi-
fled 81 love you" When she came to follow
ing Freda down the hill, saying she wanted
to see her once more, she burst into tears
Then followed most remarkable scene.
This young girl, without displaying the
slightest nervousness, told down to the
smallest detail the story of how and why
she murdered FredH Ward. She said: al took
the razor out while going down the hill.
When l reached Freda | cut her with the
razor. AS l out her throat she tried
to say something. intended TO cut Freda's
throat and then mine, but her sister Joe
made me mad by striking me with an UNI
brella, SO after slashing at Joe | followed
Freda and cut her again. All l wanted TO
do was to cut her 80 as to kill. loved her
better than any one in the world" She ex-
pressed desire TO die now that Freda Is no
more.
No new features were developed. Gen.
Peters then stated that the state had moth
ing further 10 offer. Gen. Wright said the
defense was willing to submit the case
without further argument Judge Dubois
continued the case until Friday, when he
will charge the jury,
