crowded at the second days trial of Hugh
Dempsey for completely in the Homestead
poisoning. Most of the forenoon session
was taken up with the examination of
men taken i'll while working at Home
stead and their physicians. The latter all
express the belief that the men had been
poisoned. The defense objected to the
physicians testimony. The court said
the proceedings were somewhat irregular,
but if |; could be proved that the de-
fendsht vas guilty of furnishing poison,
the evidence would be admissible. The
district attorney stated that he would
show this fact, and that the testimony was
admitted.
At the afternoon session several wit

the witnesses, said arsenical poisoning
alone would produce such marked symp-
toms as Johnston's case presented. Wit
ness also attended Benjamin Weaver. an
other witness, whose symptoms, he said,
could have been produced only by some ir-
Ytant poison.
DR.. A. r. Fogelman. who attended other
witnesses. testified that the cases did not
yield to treatment as they should have
done. He said the symptoms Of the dis.
ease could have been produced by some
corrosive poison. On cross-examination

large quantities. drinking water such as

changes would tend 10 produce disease
similar to that which affected the men.
Doctors testified that they were strongly

and inducements will doubtless be offered
which will enable Washington fruit to
compete with that of Oregon and Califor-
mia in the markets of the East The

planted throughout the state render
steps for quick and cheap transportation
imperative. It is asserted that over ], 200, 600

day fully 100 of Thurston county fruit
growers were present. as we'll as men in

fetal one. President Blackburn expressed

were examined. The prosecution relies
upon the stories Anderson told these wit
nesses after the killing to r..aks its case,
but nothing very damaging has been pro-
dueed. They say in substance that An
derson stated that he met Hardy at the
latter's ranch and told hlm he must make
no more indecent proposals TO Mrs. An
dvrson. III no did the country was not
big enough TO hold both OF them. Hardy
made a motion as though TO strike Andsr-
son with slab Of wood; and then Ander-
son fired. The defense will claim that the
killing was done in seIf-defcnse. IL is not
considered ut all likely that Anderson
will be convicted Of murder in the first
degree. as charged. lie sits stolidiy be-
