yond few brief days. Some of the mos,
important witnesses were disposed Of TO.
day, and those who are to follow win con-
sumo but little time.
Early In the day the State put on Wit
nosscs who swore to Gallahcr,s own con-
fcssion OF the crime In all It's details. The
defense was apparently unable to attack
this in any way, and the horrible story
went to the Jury In all It's ghnstllness.
Chief OF Police Jones and r. j. Grechan md
pubie Chubb. newspaper reporters. testified
TO his confession. After his arrest Gal
laher called for reporter and, though
warned BY the chief of police not TO do 80.
insisted on making a full confession, which
was printed at the time.
The demoanor Of the prisoner has
changed considerably In the past day or
two. During the examination of the Wit
uesses today the defendant sat In his chair
with his head bowed down. most of the
tilne resting his face in his left hand. He
did not utter word during the proceed
tngs, and when the shirt he wore at the
time, the razor With which the deed was
committed and tress OF his mothers hair
were exhibited TO the jury. he did not raise
his eyes to look upon them.
The line of the defense has not yet been
disclosed
Court was adjourned until 10 o'clock this
morning, when the case was opened by the
introduction of testimony on the part OF
the State.
During the early morning hours the rain
descended I'm torrents, and the sky was
overcast with heavy clouds. all OF which
tended 10 exercise a depressing influence
on most Of those who were called to the
court house on business,
There was large array OF witnesses be-
fore the hour for opening, and they were
ushered into the court room aud seated
outside the railing
The prisoner was brought into court and
took his seat In the dock close 10 his at
tornoys and his father.
At 10 o'clock court was opened by Deputy
Sheriff James w. Wood
The names OF the witnesses for the State
were then called aud ms they responded
the list was checked off. Several failed to
answer.
The witnesses for the defense were
called next. Quite a number failed to an

them-Mss Carroll and Mrs. Casey. The
witnesses were sworn and placed under the
