TENDER ga night session was held
last evening by Judge Jacobs in the

der of Friend Garner and the evidence
was concluded. 1t was quite a surprise
when the attorneys for the defense

the case, as there were large number
of witnesses for that side who were not
examined.
Higgins father and two brothers
each swore that they did not know who
struck the murdered man, but on cross
examination admitted that they had all
hit him. Higgins, the man 90 trial,
was placed on the stand and his evil
depce on REORGANIZATION was partlc-
ularly damaging 10 the defense.
Prosecuting Attorney Morris address
ed the jury last night at length and
concluded mis- charge about 10 o'clock.
This morning j. w. McIntire presented
the States side of the case at consider
able length. He was followed by Ca pt
Bob McEldowneY and Col. w. w. Ar
nett for the defense and Capt. b. b.
Dovener closed up for the State this
evening. The attorneys were given ten
hours by Judge Jacobs in which to argue
the case.
1t is likely the case will be submitted
10 the Jury late this evening and 1t Is
not expected a verdict will be reached
before tomorrow
This trial has been attracting con-
siderable attention and the court room
has been'crowded daily with curious

"Reminiscences Of Jerrold.

or Jerrold's quick and pungent wit
Mr.. Vizetelly adduces several sparkling
instances. One evening when Mrs. Jer-
rold, whose waltzing days might be con-
sidered over, had "taken the floor" with
a casual partner, somebody asked Jerrold
who it was dancing with his wife. He in
stantly replied, "Some member of the HUI
name society" Having read in manu-
script an ambitious production of a youth
full poet, he was mildly interrogated short
ly afterward by its author as TO whether
he thought the poem good. GOOD, my
dear boy is not the word" was the dou-
BILE edged answer, riposted like a swift ra-
pier thrust. Another such piercing re-
joinder was thar he made to Heraud when
che latter asked him il he had read his
s Descent Into He'll, IA an epic poem lately
written by that poet. "No," responded
Jerrold, "but | should like to sec il. 7"
Heraud was notoriously neglcctful of his
person, and somebody having expressed
10 Jerrold his wonder that "the careless
bard always had such dirty hands" was
assured that ait arose from his habit Of
constantly putting them to his face. -
