The Testimony of the defense in the
Ellis Glenn trial is now practically all
In and II will take but short while
to complete the rehuttal and sur-rcbut-
tai testimony
One strong point was brought out
by the State to-day from the cross cx-
animation OF witness for the defense
and II was to some extent corroborated
by Mr.. Caldwell. Ellis Gienns chief
counsel. who was put on the stand for
the defense. This point was that Ellis
Glenn had on her head when she was
first brought here scar In the same
place where Elbert's scar was said to
by several witnesses to be.
Ex-iailor Cook. who was in charge
of the jail at the time when Glenn was
brought here, testified that she had at
that time a scar on her head. Her
hair was short and he could see Il
plainly. No hair grew on it. The de-
scription Tailed we'll with those Of H.
bert Glenn's scar, which has been 90
much discussed. Mr. Caldwell testifI-
ed, on cross examination. that In hio
examination OF her head he had found
a small bald spot. which corrobratod
to some extent the testimony Of Mr..
Cook. Hitherto Glenn has positively
refused to let any one see her head OK
cept witnesses for the defense and tho
State has been unable to show by its
own witnesses whether she has this
scar or not. which is so important In
her Identification as Ebert Glenn.
The witness for the defense contra
dlcted each other to-day as to the color
OF Gilbert Glenn's hair. Rev. G. w.
Kepler. of the Elbcron M. e. church,
who lived at Williamstown, and vas
shaved by Gilbert Glenn. testified that
Glenn had light hair, while other witt
nesses said II was dark. Ellis Glenn'sl
hair is brown. lie could not positively
state whether Ellis and Ebert were tho
same but thought they did< not look
alike.
Miss Agnes Reilly. who board6d t6f
while with Ellis Glenn, and Is her
closest friend, said after long cross ex-
animation, that Ellis wears false teeth.
Other witnesses testified that Ellis
and Ebert did not look alike, the
shapes of their heads being different
G. L. Hammett told OF Glenn's atten-
tions to ladies. and of his marked at
tentions to Miss Addie Sarber, who u
now married and lives In Wheeling.
Several witnesses were called to ter
tify that there had been no operation
on Ellis Glenn for the removal Of .
scar. The jailer and DR.. Blubaugh. Of
the hospital where she was sick, teotis
fed to this, but the jailer, when croeo
examined, let it out that the prisOnes
had scar when she was first placed IN
his custody.
Charles r. Caldwell her attorney
testified that he had examined GlcnnA
head and hands for scars and found
none such as had been described ~
those Gilbert Glenn had, but he had
found bald spot on her head. He had
aided the physicians in measuring her
limbs and one was longer than the
other. He said that Vim. Richardson
had met him on the street and said:'
"If Glenn will swear to what ! want
her to, / Will send Wally Beeson TO the
penitentiary."
The case has strung out immoderafely
and the record, as taken by the steno6-
rapher, is one OF the longest ever takeA
in this court. Already he has notes
enough to make over 1000 pages q
typewritten matter and the evidence y
not all in yet.
