AN ADJOURNMENT.
The attorneys for the prosecution
held a. consultation and rested their
case. An adjournment was then
taken until 2:9O in the afternoon
When the hour of opening in the
afternoon came Judge Powers some
what unexpectedly announced tndl
the only witness the defense desired to
place upon the stand was the only eye
witness Mrs. Hynds) to the affair out
side of the principals. He was IN
formed. however, that the lady was in
a critical condition, but asleep at the
time and on advice of her nurses, it
was deemed prudent not to awaken
her then. The court took a similar
view and a postponement until
% clock in the afternoon was then had.
AN INCIDENT EXPLAINED.
When the court convened at this
hour the first thing that was done
was to swear the stenographer which
had been overlooked.
Judge Powers then threw some light
on the shoe story by explaining
that the footwear was given to Mr..
Moyle by the coroner, it having been
found that Walter had taken the
wrong pair. There was nothing in that
affair that in any way was intended
to reflect upon Mr.. Moyle, as he had
simply brought the shoes back in good
faith.
The defense was then ready to put
in its testimony. Owing to the preca-
rious condition of Mrs. Hynds. it was
deemed advisable to retire into the
back room where she was resting on
cot and take her testimony Accord
ingly the attorneys, StenographerS and
newspaper men repaired to the room,
to the disappointment of the throng of
spectators.

BILE.
Mrs. Hynds was lying on cot weep

face was swollen evidently from cry

The scene was pathetic in the ex-
IRENE. Mr.. Hynds, the husband, seat

and his face was cast downward
throughout the proceedings. He was

as might be expected. was completely
overcome at first but gradually recov-

MRS. HYNDS' STORY.
Briefly her opening statement was
to the effect that her name was Maud
and the wife of Harry Hynds. They
were married at Denver in 1885 by
Father Quinn. She was at home when
Mr.. Hynds came to the door about 10
o'clock and went to open the door
herself. She was in her nightgown.
