Days.

and consequently has proved n sore dis
appointment TO tho~c who expected TO
zee or hear something sensational.
The whole OF the testimony given
thus far has been largely a repetition
Of what was testified TO before the
committing magistrate. Justice Me
Master.
The most interesting part 81 Mr..
stoutt's testimony was that portion
the formers whereabouts the day
VI the shooting. Mr.. Stout
admitted that he went to Murray, but
had no business there. that he went
on the railroad and walked up and
down the track. even going no far as
rat. or gopher. This incident. there
can be but little doubt. will be used
by the defense In an cndeavor 10 I'm.
press upon the minds u the jury the
suicide theory. ns advanced by Mr..
brown In his argument dt cannot be
called n statcmenD TO the Jury on
Tuesday. II Will no doubt be urged
that Mr.. Stout was suffering with
melancholin. the day he went to Muir
ray and resolved upon suicide that
same evening.
