when Landsberg's frie.lds tried to compro-
mise the case. The cross-examination did
not reverse anything material.

Nh M'INTYRE on THE STAND.
When Mr.. John p. Mcintyre was put
upon the stand Solicitor General Fraser be-
gan. by questions, 70 lay a foundation TO
bring out the confession which Landsberg
made to him. MIR. Way vehemently OBJ
jected, claiming that the confession, IL such
was made, was brought about by the hope
and with the understanding that the wit
ness was going TO endeavOr 20 have the
trouble settled for a monetary consideIa-
ton.
Judge Falligant ordered the jury to re-
tire IN order that he might PASS upon the
admissibility of the confession. After It
was detailed the judge decided that Mr..
Mclntyre's testimony was admissible, but
as Il was O'Clock an adjournment was had
until O'Clock.
When court reconvened in the afternoon
the crush was greater than in the morning.
People crowded In every direction in the
room, and the crowd kept steadily increas-
ing until. at O'Clock, it was 80 dense that
it extended from the bench clear back to
the walls. People stood In all the windows
and climbed on the ratings and backs of
the chairs to watch the proceedings. Miss
White occupied a seat alongside Of Solicitor
General Fraser.
RESCUE OF THE GIRL.
Mr.. Mcintyre said he saw a carriage drive
mp TO Laura Hopkins house and a man and
girl get out aud 20 into the house. Shortly
afterward the girl jumped out of the window
and ran up the stree crying. She was bare
headed and Mr.. Mcintyre called her and
asked what was the matter. The girl
answered: 20, didn't know it was that
kind Of house. Please take me TO the
Hotel Screven." Mr.. Mcintyre took her into
his house, where his wife Quoted her by
bathing her face. The girl said that Lands
berg had attempted TO assault her. Mr..
Mcintyre saw Landsberg doing down the
street and tried to stop him, bat he refused
to stop. Mr.. Mcintyre also told OF the con-
fession Landsberg had made TO him, ad-
hitting that he had attempted criminal
intimacy with Miss White while
under the Influence of liquor. Landsbergs
friends wanted Mr.. Mcintyre to try and
settle the matter for a money consideration.
He told Miss White OF the proposition,
which she indignantly refused, and said she
would jump out Of the window IL Lands
berg came 10. Landsberg also told Mr.. Nc
Intyre that he had furnished Mrs Grub,
who was in the city with her, money TO
bring Miss White to Savannah, but the
girl didn't know anything about it. Lands
berg also told him that he had offered Miss
White drink, which would have put her
under his control had she drank it. The
cross-examinstion was long and rigid, but
brought out only repetition Of the original
testimony.
THE DEFENsE'S SIDE.
The state rested after Mr.. MoIntyre's tes-
timony at 1850 o'clock. A recess was taken
until $3.50 O'Clock. when the defense began
its side by placing Proprietor Dub OF the
Screven upon the stand. He testified that
Landsberg had arranged for the accommo-
dalton Of Mrs. Grub and Miss White some
time before May week.
Teller r. ID. Mumford of the Southern
bank was put up as an expert 60 pass an
opinion upon the writing of Miss White and
the writing Of certain letters alleged to have
been written by her. There was a similarity
between the writing in some respects he said,
but still he didn't feel prepared to take an
oath on the subject. 1t was a handwriting
which could be easily initiated If any one
had an object in view.
Paul Clarke (colored), porter at A.
Einstein's Sons, testified that Landsberg,
in company with two ladies'. purchased two
pairs of shoes at the store one morning
during May week.
WITNESS LEHwALD UNDER FIRE.
Max Lehwald who works in the Screven
house barber shop, testified that one after
noon during May week his attention was
attracted by a crowd outside, and on in
vestigating he found the people were
watching Jim Landsberg hugging a girl in
the window. The witness got badly ratified
under the cross-examination of Solicitor
General Fraser, and caused considerable
amusement by his answers. Lehwald knew
there was a crowd outside. but he couldn't
name any one who was In it. He said he
called Mr.. Sam Gerst TO look at what
Landsberg was doing.
The attorneys for the defense sent for
Mr.. Gerst TO corroborate Lehwald's testi-
mony. but he didn't exactly doit. He said
he saw the two women sitting in the win
dow, but didn't see either Landsberg or a
crowd.
Moses Lilienthal testified to having seen
Miss White and Laudsberg sitting in the
Screven house window. He thought Jim
had his arm around her, but on cross exam
ination he decided not to swear to this.
Lllienthal also said Mr.. Mcintyre had
afterward offered to try and settle the
trouble which occurred for q money oon>
sideration.
LANDsBERG's FRIEND STRAUSS.
Jake Strauss, the friend of LandsberR.
was a great witness. He told his story 10
sohool-boy defamation style, raising and
lowering his voice and gesticulatiug with
his hands to emphasize matters He
seemed to be very particular about his
English. His story was apparently excel
lently studied, as he had the hours and even
the minutes down. frequently the crowd
broke out In laughter at his ludicrous move
| ments and statements. and Judge Falligant
| was much amused at the performance, es-
pecially when the witness raised and modu-
| lated his voice.
Strauss said he had been taken into q
room In the Screven, where he was intro.
| duced to two ladies by Landsberg, who
walked over in few minutes and picking
up the younger one, Miss White, placed her
Ia his lap and kissed her. He ran out of the
room In horror for fear he would be ex-
pected to 60 through the same performance
with the elder one.
AT THE OPEN HOUSE.
The next place Strauss saw Landsberg
and his lady friends was In the open house,
where Landsberg wes ordering drinks. He
couldn't say, though, that Miss White
| drank anything. When Strauss heard of the
| trouble he tried TO have the matter settled
TO keep it out OF print.
On cross-examination Strauss started out
Co make sweeping assertions about Mrs
Grubbs character, but when asked by the So
