Lawyer Howe's Pisn or Defepce-Sury Com-

Howe wants the Pickied Remains In Court.
Tho trial Of Martin Thorn progressed yester-
day through the completion Of the jury and that
part OF the testimony relating to the finding OF
the three parts OF William Gieldscnsupps's
body and their Identification. II the prosecu'
tlon were to follow the same order as before,
Mrs. Mack would take the witness stand this
morning and toll her story Of the crime.
Whether or not this will occur to-day or
whether Mrs. Mack will be a witness at all is a
matter OF conjecture. The attorneys for tho
prosecution will not commit themselves and
their manner Of procedure has given rise to the
conjecture that they will attempt to surprise
the defence by eliminating their star witness
from the case.
Mr.. Howe, for the defence. hoped. by weaken
ing the evidence of the States chief witness, to
raise enough doubt in tho minds Of the Jury to
save his client. When It dawned on him yester-
day that the State might avoid these assaults
upon their case by Mrs. Nack's elimination as q
witness he seemed worried.
1t 10 by no means certain. however. that Mrs.
Mack will not testify. The chief reason for sus-
pocting such a play was that District Attorney
Youngs made no mention Of her in his opening
statement to the jury. He used the Identical
ststement that ho, delivered at the nrst trial.

Beginning with the afternoon session. Mr..
Youngs made his opening, statement; Then
came the witnesses to the finding of the body.

the lawyers, SO often have these facts been
rehearsed. Even Mr.. Howe almost nodded.
Witness alto" witness passed without a
word Of cross-examination. At. the last
trial all this evidence was objected to
by tho defence. MIR. Howe made no objec.
tion yesterday. He, made another demand,
however. that the picked remains be produced
for Identification. The morbid spectators pricked
up their ears in eager hope. but the Justice over
were frustrated.
At 4:45 o'clock court adjourned until this
morning,
