What time of the night was it you

1T was between l and o'clock"
Officers Plummer and Fay were next
examined by Erwin and corroborated
the former testimony.
Merrill Bartlett head usher of the
Grand opera house, was the next wit
ness. Before Mr. Bartlett took the
stand Mr.. Erwin called for two other
witnesses. who could not be found. He
was evidently considerably put out, but
stated to Judge Smith that he would
take up another branch of his case,
although it was not in the order in
which he would have liked to pre-
sent it.
Bartletts examination, which was
conducted by Attorney Sweetzer, was
very tedious and trivial. He testified
that he saw Harry Hayward enter the
theater about 8:15 with Miss Bartleson
on the night of the murder.
F. w. Murphy, Democratic candidate
for alderman of the Eighth ward, was
called to the stand He testified that
he occupied box at the Grand on the
evening in question and after the per-
Torrance met Harry Hayward in the
foyer
Ole Thorson was called and testified
that he lived at 2216 Twelfth avenue
south in rooms above Claus Blixt; that
he was at home the night of Dec. 8,
1894. That he was not in bed until $3.50
p. M; that he had not heard any one
knock at Blums door.
After cross-examination by Mr.. Nye,
an adjournment was taken till 10 a. m.
this morning.
