there IS every prospect that during sew
eral hours the narrative he will unfold
will claim absolutely the attention OF
all. Thereupon will be brought to a
finish the case for the defense. One
more witness Is still to come II he can
be forced here. but there will hardly be
any others. Judge Campbell will be the
central figure at the close. and there can
be no doubt that the throng who will
stand around him and gather up his
words will be great Already last night
people We're preparing to flock to the
Capitol to-day. They expect that they
will be repaid. The Investigation up to
this time has been such as to warrant
the belief that 1t will close this chapter
in blaze OF glory.
The Announcement.
During the course OF the session yester-
day Major Conrad. counsel for the de-
Tense. made statement to the effect
that he was through. with the exception
Of Judge Campbell ma the -four Wit
nesses for whom attachments have been
issued. Three OF these four came in
later, and We're examined This left but
one-Woodruf-the juryman over whom
there has been SO much talk. an i'm

at all cannot be said Up to last night
the defense had heard no late news from
him.
1t was impossible for Judge Campbell
himself to take the stand yesterday, be-
cause he was not ready. He wanted to
go over the whole testimony and get the
case firmly in his head. To-day he will
be thus prepared, and when he takes the
stand he will be enabled to proceed clear
~ without delay. He will produce all
the letters and papers asked for by the
committee and the counsel for the prose
cution. They will all be included in his
narrative" said Major Conrad in HIS an.
nouncement yesterday.
Should Woodruff come in late he will
be placed on the stand. But he will
in all likelihood be tho last The de-
Tense is through and to-day the curtain
drops on n second act.
THE REBUTTAI1 AND ARGUMENT.
Inquiries yesterday elected the detin-
ite information that the argument is not
yet to come. When the defense ends
the prosecution, after recess probably,
will go In strongly for rebuttal and will
have as many witnesses as the commit
tee will allow Mr.. Strobe said rs much
last night. Judge Campbell also will
Introduce witnesses by way of rebuttal.
He will be guided by tho extent to which
the prosecution goes in this direction.
Is e Chairman Soutlrall of the committee
was asked about the reb'lttal. He said
the committee would permit the intro
Fduction by the prosecution of witnesses
on rebutthl. How many witnesses would
&bc allowed has not yet been deter
mined,
The Sessions Yesterday.
Whatever is said about the sessions

We're strongly for Campbell in their ten
dency and that the day as q whole was
q sort Of hed-day for the defense.
In the morning Mr.. S. A. Day, the
5whiskey-selling druggist of Amherst,
whose testimony has been awaited with.
SO much Interest, appeared upon the
stand. and for two long hours or more
submitted himself to rigid and severe
examination. Mr., Day was eminentlyJ
,self-contancd. No noneuvres by coun-

There were other witnesses In tho
