the Interpretation needed and it was far
into the evening before Mr.. Grouse had
finished.
TODAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
An Unknown Girl or Girls Intro
dueed Into the Case
Hurrying the Trial.

| Yesterdays proceedings closed at few
minutes past six o'clock and Justice LIP
pincott, in adjourning court until half
past nine O'Clock this morning, said that
he would sit until ten O'clock tonight.
Late sessions will be the order until the
trial is finished, becau use it must terminate
before Tuesday, the first day of the new
| term.
There was no delay in resuming the
trial this morning at half-past nine
o'clock. Justice Lppincott, the jury and
the counsel were in their places before the
clock marked the half hour. The prisoner
was brought in and appeared as uncon-
cerned as ever. He looked around the
court room and perceiving his wife and
child merely nodded his head and didn't
look. at them again during the morning
| session.
Stelling Schiller was once more sub
| jected to Mr. Crouse's cross-examination
and the sturdy Dutchman complained
that the interpreter spoke too quickly,
| and as his hearing was bad he requested
counsel to go slow.
Witness took up the thread of his story
dropped yesterday. He was explaining TO
counsel what time 1t was when he ar
rived at Engelbrecht's saloon on Sunday
night. He had looked at his watch and
| found it was a quarter past eleven, put

Yes he replied, '.Weinrauch's name
! is Theodore, not Otto.
Ibid you talk with him?"
"YeS, Weinrauch was coming out OF
Engelbrecht's saloon and l asked him
where he was going"
This statement apparently knocked out
| Weinrauch'S testimony that he left the
saloon at eight o'clock into a cooked hat,
! and the defense looked pleased, because
| they are trying to shift the blame on
Weinrauch, who was arrested on suspl-
cion.
But when Schiller explained that he
| had made a mistake and that ne met
stranger AT midnight and Welnrauch
at eight o'clock when he was on his way
to Union Hill, thus supporting the state
witness, Mr. Crouse's point vanished and
counsel angrily said -,

Mr.. Grouse extracted from the witness
that the watch he carried was held by
