Lochner enjoyed the discomfture of Prieur and smiled broadly at his errors.
 A motley crowd filled the Coroners of flee and listened with rapt attention and evident relish to the vile testimony intro duced to show the depravity of Joe Lochner. Captain Seymour was there, of course, to prompt the Coroner when he overlooked anything.
 Mrs J. Q. Anderson, mother of Sadie Carpenter, dressed in deep mourning, ar rived before the crowd. She was greatly agitated and with difficulty controlled her feelings She listened to portion of the testimony and then went to an adjoining room, and remained until she was called to the witness stand to establish the iden- tity of the deceased.
 Dr. John Gallagher the autopsy sur geon,. was the first witness called. He read from notes taken when he performed the post mOrtem and explained in detail to the jury as he proceeded. He said

 In reply to a question as to the cause of death the doctor gave his opinion that death was the result of asphyxiation, due to strangulation.
 Coroner Hawkins handed Dr. Gallagher the rag which was found around the dead woman's throat and asked him if it produce the strangulation referred to- The doctor answered in the negative
 Lizzie Riley Spanish tS6 s,d Lizzie all stand next. She told of being awakened by a noise which seemed, to come from Sadie's room. She. heard a door slam and retreating footsteps. Becoming alarmed, she went out and called the night watchman. He did not respond and she called again. She told him there was trouble in one of the rooms, she thought in No. 10, and asked him to knock on Mrs Carpenters door, He demurred and she told him to waken Lochner. He rapped twice on the latter's door before peceiving a reply. Lochner came out in the hail. the night clerk unlocked the door and the two men entered room 10. She heard one of them say, "She is dea" After the gas was lighted she looked in and saw Sadie's face on the pillow. Then she went. into her own room. She swore that she did not say anything to Lochner or Prieur about hearing a noise like some one being choked or strangled.
 Incidentally it might be remarked that the police have not yet learned the name of the party who was with the Riley
