the blood of the turkey shaped itself
into oblong shaped corpuscles of the
blood of fowl.
On cross examination, the micros.
copist, DR.. Coplin, of the University
of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, said
the edge OF the corpuscles of the
blood of man diseased with syphilis
is ragged, or serrated. The direct
examination on the things mentioned
was startling in revelation and rich
in information and still more inten-
sified the people with determination
to get into the Court House by a
rush for the Thursday afternoon
session.
THE sHERIFF's PISTOL WARNING.
1t was balmy noon, and hundreds
of people assembled at every door
leading into the Court House hours
before the time for the opening of
the doors. Guards We're placed at
each outside door so that the rush
and crush Of the previous day should
not again take place in the corridors
OF the building, with instruction to
admit the people slowly till the seats
had all been filed and then to keep
out all others. A good many young
men climbed up the pilasters of the
portico in front of the building and
got in that way, and some got in
through windows aud under false
pretense by telling the guards
that they are among the wit
nesses. The Objective door was the
one on the south side of the building
Ia front of that door was massed an
unrumberei crowd, Judge Lyons
a idressed them and said the dignity
of the law would be m aintainel aud
that they should deport themselves
like law abiding and order aspect
ing citizens. A strong guard was
placed at the door, consisting of Col
Onel ]. X. Robson, G. w. Wilson,
NJ. S. ESb, d. l. Swertz. George
Swartz, Eli Farliman, Joseph Weber,
William Kaufman, Thomas Kennedy
David Guss, Charles Beashore, j. p.
Leach, who stood across the front
of the door like a Grecian phalanx,
and admitted the crowd slowly. The
struggle to get to the door by men
and women, was worth a days jour
to see. Women took chances with
the men and some of them lost
heavily in torn dresses, and few got
iu that way without looking as if
they had ridden day and a night
or two on the cars, a number tainted,
and the most of the rushing crowd
of both sexes were in sweat ike in
mid summer. There was a strange
subdued roar about the crowd that
was plainly heard two squares away.
When the house was full guards
closed the doors. Some people who
had come 20 mills failed to get in,
or get n glimpse of the prisoners.
The sheriff and his deputy with the
prisoners were much crowded, and
the Sheriff carried his revolver in
hand as a warning to Jim not to try
to escape, and as warning to the
crowd not to harm the prisoner.
WIDE RANGE OF TESTIMONY.
Tie testimony of the afternoon
took in the wide range of the first in
formation of the missing man that
was given to the people of Port
Royal and the organization of a
searching party. The finding of the
bloody trail made by the taking of
the body cf the murdered man to
the creek. The exhibition and the
indentitication of the shoes that the
murdered father had On his feet
when he was killed. The dramatic
exhibition of the clothes that the
defendant wore on Sunday was
thrilling in the men tai impressions
that it impaired to good many
people. The manner of the defen
dants during the time of the search
for the body of his father was de
scribed as being nervnIR which
brought out remarks from spectators
that guilty or not guilty the state of
affairs that surrounded the mother
and son at that time was sufficient to
make them nervous.
When court adjourned on Thurs
day evening the lawyers for the de-
fence had not indicated the lines
along which they would conduct the
battle for the life of the accused.
The people withdrew from the
building feslinG that the defense had
not yet made an attack upon the
solid lines of the Commonwealth and
that knowledge created n deeper
desire than ever on the part of many
to get into the room ON Thursday
evening. The guards were talking
about stretching ropes from the court
house to the court yard fence gates
to enable them to keep back the i'm
penting evening rush.
The Judge however, saved all that
by announcing that court adjourned
to meet on Friday morning at
quarter to 9 o'clock.
A rain all Thursday night and Fri
day morning lessened the numher of
applicants for admission and two tip
slaves IN the Corridors down stairs
and a guard at each door up stairs
easily managed all comers and ap-
plicants for admission.
REvELATIoN OF WITNESSES
The revelation Of witnesses was no
less startling than on former DAYS.
They told how the wife Of the muir
dered man spoke of the blood spots
about the stable and shop and ex-
pressed the fear that her husband
bad been killed, that he had $50 in
money silver check punch and
$3.50 watch on his person, that she
and her son had gone to the shop to-
gether, and that jim had gone to
feed the horse between ) an 6 o'clock
on Sunday evening. The prisoner
had seen his father last standing
