The end of the second trial of the
Hissom damage suit is in sight, and
the case will probably be given to the
jury to-day. The plaintiff yesterday
introduced evidence in rebuttal, and
the defense placed number of char
acter witnesses on the stand Several
character witnesses will probably tes-
tify this morning, after which counsel
will make the arguments. The division
of time will be decided upon, and the
time for each side will probably be
so limited as to conclude the case
and give it to the jury to-day.
All the evidence in rebuttal was
offered yesterday, and, as was anti
cipated the plaintiff made its strong
est case. The plaintiff introduced char
acter witnesses, and the defense also
placed a number on the stand Mrs.
]. r. Hissom first went on the stand,
and testified to her relationship to
Luther B. Hissom.
Ex-Chief of Police Thomas D. Ben
nett testified that Mrs Hissom rep
resented to him that her husband was
directed an officer to watch the house
at night
The plaintiff was recalled for cross
examination concerning testimony
given by him at the first trial. He
said the rule in insanity is that the
sight Of blood often incites lunatics to
commit murder. The defense rested
here.
The first rebuttal witness placed on
the stand by the plaintiff was Charles
Woods, a farmer living on the Cadiz
pike. who testified that the relations
between Sam and William Hissom had
always been pleasant. A question as
to ]. r. Hissom's reputation was not
allowed
Charles J. Schuck, one of the attor-
neys for the plaintiff, testified con-
corning a conversation he and Geodge
Moser had with Witten Hissom on
Fish Creek Island. Witten Hissom had
denied on the island that he said
his father had abused the family, and
that he said he never thought the doc
tor was insane. Mr.. Schuck testified
that Witten Hissom said these things,
and agreed to testify to them. Wit
ness wrote out a statement Of the
facts, which Witten agreed to sign,
promising to come to Wheeling for
that purpose. He went to Woodlands
to get the affidavit of witness, but was
unsuccessful

R. T. McNichol was recalled and
testified to a conversation with J. R.
Hissom, in which the latter asked
him to go to Huntington for him, and
regard the matter as confidential. His
som said he was completely upset be-
cause his wife told him she was en-
gagged to Eskey before their mar
riage.
'He wanted ME to go to Huntington
and get Eskey drunk to see whether
he ever had improper relations with
Eskey's wife. l told him l could not
go until after the State Fair. l had
several conversations with Hissom.

very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
