ing a total of III witnesses had been eX-
amined during the trial. The prosecution
showed that the character of Wesner for
peace and quiet was good, as a rule. some
witnesses admitting that Wesner was re-
puted to carry weapons. The judge re-
quested that witnesses as to character
should be concluded this evening. The State
has not attacked the character of Brown.
The important and vital point in the case
is as TO whether or not Wesner had his
knife drawn when Brown fired. The de-
tense claims that he did. The evidence was
not concluded this evening on account of
the absence of witness at Danville. The
testimony will close early in the morning.
There will probably be three speeches on
side and the case will probably go. to the
