Social Brief Mention.

Hines, an undertaker, was on the
stand. lie will be recalled Monday for
cross examination, and there are other
witnesses to fellow. The attorneys
may begin the argument Monday The
discussion OF instructions will pot take
long, as practically the same will be
| granted as used in the James Brittle
case last fall. Brittle was an Access
! sorry, who is now serving his term of
! five years. With the case nearly
through. there is considerable differ
| cnce ST opinion as to the outcome.
| Lawyers for the defense claim the case
| is not rs strong as that against Brittle.
| y hung jury is not improbable.
DIR. PHILLIPS ON.
| called to-day to give expert evidence.
His testimony was purely hypotheti-
cal. lie answered propositions pro-
| pounded without the names of persons,
| times or places.
DIR. Phillips was on the stand about
two hours. The defense sought to
throw doubt OIL the proposition that
the wounds made on ArcDonald's head
in Beale's yard were the same as those
which produced the skull fractures
The doctor testified 1t was possible for
different times. He said the victim
did things after receiving the first
blows which would have been unlikely
had the skull then been fractured
Wiley L. Bradshaw and j. Bridges
preceded DR.. Phillips eH-the stand.
WHAT THE UNDERTAKEN SAW.
Thomas Hines. n Windsor under
taker, who viewed the body OF Nc
Donald the day it was found differed
from most of the other witnesses in one
particular. He saw more blood which
came from The leg stumps. The pre-
pondercncc OF testimony was that lit
tie blood flowed from the places where
the train severed the Victims leg.
Further evidence was introduced to
contradict the States star witness.
Luke Warren. The witnesses whose
statements differed from Warren's to-
day We're George Uzzell, Edwards and
Barham.
There was perhaps more feeling
shown in the courtroom to-day than
a any time during the trial.
The case will likely be ended late
Monday evening or Tuesday The law
ycis were tired tonight, but Beale
holds up well.
