A few more unimportant questions con-
clnded the crosf. examination OF Dr. whey.
TESTIMONY CONCLUDED.
Mr.. Buchanon then created a profound i'm
preston by arising and announcing IN a dlg-
nifed manner: May it please the Court we
are through.
Only five witnesses had been examined by
the defense. and as they had ten times THIS
summoned everybody thought that
the examination OF their witnesses would
last several DAYS vet. After "a short confer
ence the prosecution announced that they
were through and the pleading began.
The following are the names OF the counsel
and the order in which their speeches will
D.. F. Bailey. prosecution; F. 5. Blair. de-
Tense: J. G. Visor. prosecutions; James L..
White. defense; J. G. Summers: prosecution;
John r. Burson. defense; Daniel 1rlgg, prose
cution; c. f. Trigg, defense; John A. Blu
defense. +. b. Hutton. prosecution.
Before the pleading began DR.. Taylor re-
turned TO the stand to make some explana-
tions. He said he had made a further test for
chlorate of potash-the indigo test"-and
he had neglected TO mention this yester-
day. This test would not be conclusive IN
regard TO CELEBRATES If arsenic was present.
THK Up BEGINS.
Hon. ID. +. Bailey then arose and opened
the pleading. He began NJ 1885 A.. NJ. and
closed at $40 +. Nj. He described the enormity
of the crime. or rather series OF crimes, with
which the prisoner is charged. Following
the flag on which is inscribed, every barrier
shall be burned away he feeds his wife with
arsenic with a spoon. and not only murders
her, but also Stays his W. flesh and blood
his unborn child"
Mr.. Bailey made a good speech. but most
of his time was taken up in painting the enor-
nifty of the crime of adultery.
He was followed 10y Hon. +. $. Blair for the
defense. Mr.. Blair made al exhaustive
analysis of the evidence. and adorned his
argument with many classic quotations and al
lusions. He was just reaching the climax of
his peroration when the adjournment hour
arrived. He announced that he would finish
early tomorrow morning.
The pleading will take up the remainder of
this week and probably "a part OF next.
