DR. LEE'S CASE WILL BE GITEN ITO
 THE JURY NEXT TUESDAY.

|
 only the Arguments and Judges Charge
 Remain to be Made-COunsel for Each Side May Occupy Four Hours-Much FIX pert Evidence Introduced Yesterday. All the testimony in the case of pr. J. Edward Lee, charged with the mur-
 der of Maggie Schloss, was finished yesterday afternoon at s;So o'clock, and on next Tuesday morning at 10
 o'clock the arguments will be offered
 On motion of Attorney Chase Judge
 Wheeler assigned four hours to each side in which to complete their argu-
 ments. In all probability neither the prosecution nor the defense will occupy
 all this time, and so it is thought the case will be handed to the jury late Tuesday afternoon, and a decision reached before night.
 The most important witness Of the day was Dr. Francis Bacon of this city,
 who took the stand as an expert in behalf of the state to especially retute the opinions of pr. Arthur J. Wolff of Hartford, the well known microscopist. Dr. Bacon stated that in his opinion the wound in the organ of Maggie Schloss was certainly inflicted before death, thus directly denying the allegations of Dr. Wolff that the organ presented post mortem incision. The witness further stated after a hypothetical question by Attorney Blydenburgh that if Maggie Schloss had had a putrid mass in the organ the result of de- ceased foetus, she could not possibly have traveled about the city from early evening until midnight suffering from the condition of things which surely must have existed under the supposed circumstances.
 pr. Austin B. Cheney in his testi- mony for the prosecution practically oorroborated all that Dr. Bacon said. He contradicted the opinion of pr. Wolff to the effect that the organ of Maggie Schloss presenteA indications that it had borne a full Termed child. Neither pr. Bacon nor Dr. Cheney were shaken by the cross-examination of Attorney Chase. There was stir in the room when Dr. White was called to the stand,
 Ex-Judge Blydenburgh-Dr. Wolff testified yesterday that the uterus of Maggie Schloss by certain indications must be that which had passed full termed child.
 Dr. White-It presented no such indi- cations. The indications inside of the womb were those of recent pregnancy, and the conditions noticed could not exist without recent pregnancy.
 To a hypothetical question by Att torney Blydenburgh relative to the of the girl before the all legged abortion Dr. White stated that it would be highly improbable for her to do any kind of labor if suffering from blood poisoning; also that the high pulse noted by pr. Lee was the re- suit of complications attending abor- ton.
 Considerable interest was aroused when wDr White was ordered to pro- 1uced the organs in question. This was done to show that it was impossi- | nle to confound them with the Schloss organ. Dr. White stated that each | organ had positive and distinct marks | by which they could easily be dis | .inguiIhed one from the other. Both | 1rgans had been taken from subjects ,f criminal abortIons, Dr. White ad- l nitted that each had been cut and | lpon further examination also stated | hat the Schloss organ had been cut | Or the purpose oS ascertaining to | what extent the blood vessels had been
