The Boyd murder trial yesterday pre-.
osnted the unusual spectacle Of tho stats
being slapped In the face By some OF It's
Own unwilling witnesses, who aiserwaru
vent onto the stand aud added 10 the
force Of tbs blows by tessifying On behalf
Of the defense. When adjournment came
the worried and hafIled prosecuting OH
csrs had rested their case and six Wit
nesses had been examined for the defense.
The court room was jammed full OF spec
tssors, many women being p-csent-as
least 100 more than on the previous day
The excitement during some Of the sensa-
tioual scenes was intense. especially when
Mr.. Plies made his opening statement OF
che case for the defense. The sentiment OF
those present appeared TO have changed
completely and the sympathy for the de-
fendant manifested BY the spectators
Was often on tho posn: OF open
expression. Miss Unfug. with her mother,
was on hand in the court room
in good season. and rs usual Was accom-.
panied by her friends. both male and
female. Among the women present were
Mrs. J. r. Ludlow. Mrs. S. J. Roseeranze.
Mrs. II. J. Hargsr. Mrs. A. NJ. Duke and
Mrs. X. s. Greene. all Of whom were not
IN attendance until yesterday. Mrs. Greene

steadily through the entire session OF

time. however. TO the testimony.
While il has not been proven that the
defendant, Ursula Juanita Unfug. was
married TO Thomas Henderson Boyd. and
while no effort will probably be made to
show that she vas his wife, throughout.
the trial, by order Of the court. she Is to
be known ~ Mrs Boyd. the name under
which she entered her plea OF mot
guilty. She 10 spoken OF ~ Mrs. Boyd
BY attorneys and witnesses.
The state resumed its case by beginning
the crossexaminatton Of Mrs. Lille j.
Kennedy. who was on the stand when
court adjourned Tuesday evening. On
crosse examination she stated that Boyd
slways started the quarress that he had
with the defendant. When the witness

promise TO refrain from abusing his wife.
One afternoon tho witness heard quarrel

and went into the room without knocking.
She saw Boyd standing In the
middle OF the room with cary
Ing knife In his hand. threatening TO
strike the defendant. When he saw the
witness he skunk back as II ashamed Of
himself He Was so angry ho could not
talk and was In state Of terrible excite
mcnt. The witness had heard no CONVEX
sation before she entered the room. When
she was . few steps inside the room and
before Boyd had noticed her she heard
him say:
II viii kill you"
She thought he was in earnest and
meant what he said. When the witness
came In the defendant was standing Just
In front Of Boyd. The furniture in the
room was overturned and everything dis
arranged She continued:
