ernoon was the temperance of the much
prosecuted Lawyer Pillsbury, who came
from San Francisco this time, however, I'M
der the protection of his counsel, Judge
Hayne. He was put on the stand and the
battle of the previous day as to the admis-
sibility of his testimony was renewed,
Judge Hayne taking an active part in the
discussion. The strong point for the con-
