THE KNIGHT TRI AL.

Augusta, Novem Der 9.-Thursday fore
neon In the knight case was taken up
with the examination Of the government
witnesses. The testimony related to his
movements after the muIder and his arr
rest. There was no. much Of special In
terest, one witness following another and
telling substantially the same story Of
the facts. The most important witness
was g. W. Richards. night editor Of the
kenneheo Journal TO whom knight made
a full conf, ssion soon after his arrIst.
This was important because 1t shows
knights condition shortly after he had
com mit1sd the deed ami was the ouly au-
thorized version of the affair obtained at
the time.
In the afternoon the examination of tho
witnesses for the state was concluded. II.
Al. Heath, counsel for the defense made
his opening and examination Of the Wit
nssses for the defense was commenced.
Their testimony related to the insanity In
the knight family aud the insanity Of
Knight himself. The defense is making
a strong fight along this line and the
question OF the insanity of the respondent
will hold the center Of the stage during
the remainder of the trial. The court
room was crowded this afternoon and the
interess In the trial is increasing. Some
sensational developments ara expected
later.
