O'Clock. But very little public interest
is being taken in the case and the num-
Der of spectators who hang upon the tes-
timony is very limited. When court op-
ened there were not thirty people in the
room, excepting, of course, witnesses, at
torneys and those connected with the
court.
The question as to whether or not the
defense could show by the witnesses for
the prosecution the defendants apparent
mental condition was for the third time
raised, argued and ruled upon, the court
holding that no such method was per-
missable.
Three more eye witnesses, John Caesar,
q barber, who rooms near the scene OF
the shooting, ]. g. Read, a harness
maker, whose rooms are in the Thomas
block, corner of Twenty-fourth and
Grant. almost directly across from the
Chinese wash house, into the door of
which Lewis fell when shot the last time,
and c. Z. Batter, a printer, who was
across the street from the laundry when
the shooting occurred, were placed upon
the stand. Their testimony was sub
stantially the same as that given by the
witnesses yesterday. Btaier stated that
after Borel had done the shooting he went
into the middle Of the street, broke
open his gun, threw out the
empty shells, and looking in the direc-
ton OF Lewis who was supporting him.
sell in the doorway of the laundry, called
out, "You damn s. of b., you have got
my money! He then hung his head,
tears started from his eyes and muttering
to himself, walked dejectedly down Grant
avenue to Twenty fifth street and then to
the city Jail. His arms were hanging
dejectedly at his sides and one hand still
grasped his revolver. His manner was
peculiar in the extreme and indicated eX-
cessive mental disturbance or distress.
DR.. NJ. N. Graves, the physician who
was called to attend Lewis, was placed
upon the stand and gave the location of
the three bullet holes in Lewis body, any
one of which he said would
have been fatal. When he reached the
bedside of Lewis the latter was dead.
Judging from the location of the holes,
the man who did the shooting was always
In the rear.
Court then took an adjournment until
2 O'Clock.
The afternoon session begun with con-
siderable sparrlng between the attorneys
over the gun that had been shown, but
not admitted in evidence. DIR. Graves
was called to testify as to the fatal nature
district attorney announced that he was
through and then Judge Rhodes
made lengthy, explicit and
interesting speech to the jury,
marking out the line of evidence and de-
fence which would be offered in behalf of
Borel. AT $40 he closed and then short
recess was taken. On court again being
called TO order, the defence began putting
in its testimony, the line being that of
insanity.
DR.. Joyce was first called, and he testi-
fed TO going to the city Jail to pump out
Borel, he having taken dose OF poison
Young Baker was also called, TO give his
opinion as to Borei's sanity. Baker said
he thought Borel was crazy at the time of
the shooting. Attorney Allison subjected
him to severe cross-examination.
AN ABANDONED PROPOSITION.
The stock yards proposition was practi-
cally abandoped this morning, for the
present at lesst, and two OF the gentle
men at the head of the enterprise have
left Ogden. Mr.. Hottie stated tonight,
however, that Ogden was the place for
the yards, and he and his associates were
still doing some lively figuring.
VILE NOT COMPLETE THE COLLEGE.
Charles R. Bliss, of Chicago, secretary
of the New West Educational COM
mission OF the Congregational church,
reached Ogden this morning, on a
tour of inspection of the schools of
the commission. The gentleman stated
to The HERALD's Ogden man that the
commission would be unable to take UP
the matter of the completion of Utah
University of the Methodist church for
several reasons, one of them, the most
important, being the near approach of the
Gate when the New West commission and
several sister societies viii be CONSOLE
dated into the American Educational
society. This change will go into effect
on July 1. The people of Ogden have
had great faith in the proposition which
was made TO the New West people with a
view to the early completion of the uni
versity, and this news will be received
with much regret.
