gardirIs his entrance into the rom
yesterday. Accordingly. When h This
morning stepped into Judge Tu,hill's
ccurs room for the 1871 day of his trial.
he repeated his smiling salute 20 the
jury. and ignored the spectators. who
evidenced their disappointment. n, he
slight.
The prisoner attempted 20 each he
eye OF the presiding Judge. but the lat
ser dignitary completely ignored the at
empt Of the big sausaga manufacturer
to bid him good morning. Lu2sge-t held
a familiar conversation O. a minutes
length with the newspaper reporters
near his seat. and then settled down to a
consultation with his attorneys. He
seemed to be in unusually good spiri S,
despite the damaging evidence heard
during Yesterdays sessions.
The spectators continue to be mostly
women, and the crowds are growing
larger daily. A. greater crowd than ever
c~ongregated today at the huge stone en-
france to the criminal court building,
and a score OF bailiffs and many OF In
spector Schaack's officers were required
TO keep cren the passageway.
The frs: witness called was Eugene
p. Palmer, a reporter for the Chicago
Journal. Palmer testified TO having held
a small hottie under the stream OF pink
ism matter which flowed from the sluice-
way c. the vat when the police opened
the valve. Palmer was followed by w.
H. Stuart, also a Journal reporN~, who
corrcbera.ed the testimony o. his con-
frere. and also testified to having deliv-
cred this same bottle OF pinkish slime
INFO the hands of an expert, who will be
called later in the case.
Policeman Bernard Preuss was called
and identified two bits OF steel as the
pieces he found in the ashes where the
supposed residue o. bor IS and other ma
:eral which was scooped from the vat
was dumped.
Policeman Fred Taloritz testified as

pile Of refuse. and the hairpin was pro-
duced as evidence. after an obj sc,iOn by
Attorney Vincent to the effect thai it was
improper to introduce as evidence any
and every object. owing to its similari-
ty to objects worn by any and every wo-

cessi0n, and positively identified the Two
alleged corset steels as having been the
product OF their factory. Certain marks
on the TWO bits ot metal were shown to
correspond with similar marks on new
steels which were produced in court.
The witnesses each testified positively as
20 the similarity. and also to the fact
that the new steels were Of the pattern
usually sold by their factory. 1t was
considered by the state to be a great
blow to the defense. and was unexpected
