nionished them not to read the accounts
of the trial published by the news
papers. He said that the jury knew as
much about the case as do the news
papers, and that while the latter, he be-
lieved, try to make impartial reports of
trials, sometimes mistakes creep into
them.
The Brown trial will be taken, up again
when the court cOnvenes OnN Monday
morning, and the witnesses werel.xcused

side of the case was to open this morn
ing, and it will start on Monday morn

Although much curiosity has been ex-
pressed as to what evidence will be put
in by the defense in behalf Of Brown,
when court opened this morning there
was only small assemblage of people
present. The attendance at the trial
was large yesterday. and the slim at
tendance this morning may be accounted
for by the fact that the opening time
was an hour earlier than usual.
All matters on Judge McClernan's cal
endar set for consideration next Mon
