fact that Eidam's testimony was os-
tensibly in rebuttal. Gradually En-
win drew from the witness the fact
that in this wood there was hol-
low with a creek running through it,
which was a lonely place at night.
H ere the mind of the alert advocate
pictured the third man engaged in
loud and excited converse with Blixt,
and poss IDLY the dropping of the
rail in the babbling waters of the
ice-bound brook. Eidam was then
allowed to go, and the faces of the
defense We're wreathed in smiles.
The impeachment of Grindall did
not amount to much. The East
slider was asked if on the night of
the murder the Maish boys did not
chase him under the stone arch
bridge on Central avenue, and
Grindall replied that all that hap
pened in September. The Maishes
We're not introduced.
Mrs. Walker, whom it was also
intended to impeach, was not in
court, she not being at her resi-
dence when Attorney Smith called
to request her attendance.
Paul Born, the messenger boy who
took the note from the West hotel
to Kate Cling the morning before
her murder, described the sender as
q heavy-set man, of middle age,
with a dark moustache and full
face. He wore a Prince Albert coat,
unbuttoned, and no overcoat.
James Ward said that M. D. Will
son had told him that the state
could not do anything with Harry,
as it was not Harry that was driv-
ing with Miss Cling on the boule-
ward. He was not sure whether
Wilson said it was Adry or not.
BliXt was then recalled, and, while
the court was waiting for him, as
he does not ordinarily arise until
about noon, the statements which
he made to the court of inquisition,
as revised by the district court,
We're submitted to the jury with the
understanding that where contra
dictions occur the statements were
not to be considered as evidence,
except as to the contradiction. Blixt
denied that he had ever told ex-Dep-
uty Warren that he kept his feet
out of the buggy to keep from get
ting blood on them.
Mr.. Warren was called, and testi-
fed that BliXt did so state.
BliXt's attorney was then called,
and denied the story of the inter-
view with BliXt in the Jail, as mar
rated by Maggie Wachter
Sergeant Linehan and Patrolman
Robinson told of shoveling the
bloody sand where Miss Ging's body
was found into the ditch near by.
j. II. Russell, a son of DIR. Russell,
told about turning his buggy around
near the place where the body was
found, and then came Ed Eidam's
story.
Last of the day came the testi-
mony of John A. Olson, an eX-real es-
tate man, who has led a precarious
existence lately as a private de-
tectiVe, AID since the trial began
has been holding down a chair in the
office of BliXt's attorney. He testi-
fed that Maggie Wachter had told
him that if he went to Erwin and
told him that he knew something
about Blixt, Erwin might give him
$1,000. Olson made a poor witness.
and the attorneys on both sides had
good deal Of fun at his expense.
1t is possible that County Attor-
ney Nye's illness may be consid-
cred sufficient reason for an adj
Journment by Judge Smith if he is
unable to appear today and is likely
to be able to come in by Monday
morning, although the court is anx-
1ous that the case be pushed through
as rapidly as possible. 1t has now
dragged out for nearly six weeks.
and every day increases the mani
fold chances Of an interruption
through the long confinement of the
jury and other causes.
