THE BOYS, TRIAL.
Looks as Though a Verdict Would De
 Reached by Wednesday,.

The trial of the nine boys in the su- perior court is nothing more nor less than repetition of the case against the strikers heard last June before Judge Thayer and a jury. The same lines in almost every respect are being followed and but for the occasional tlfs between counsel and the reproofs by Judge Wheeler there is not the slightest difference ill the conduct of the two cases. Both sides are watch ing every little slip and taking full ad- vantage of it. For instance, when Ira Farnsworth testified that he was sure it was 9:30 o'clock when he left Ex- change place for West Main street the night of the assault, he said he knew that 1t was the time because he looked at his watch at that time. He also said that he testified so Ain the first case. The record of the first case was produced and 1t showed that Earns worth testified it was about 10:30 o'clock when he reached WolcottSs pool room and that he was not sure that there was a clock in the room. AIT O'Neill objected to Mir Kellogg's man- her of questioning Farnsworth about the time he left the center and the time he got to Wolcott's pool room Mr Kellogg objected to being interrupted by Mir O'NeilI. and Mir O'Neill insisted he had the right to interrupt because Mir Kellogg was trvirg to nislead the witnesses; was re~eatfng witness's an- swer in a way that confused and mis- led him, and matters were getting quite interesting between the lawyers when Judge Wheeler interfered, bade Mr O'NeiIl not interrupt again, and said it was not necessary for him to prompt the witness. Farnsworth soon after left the stand
 Again, when Edward McGrath was on the stand Mir Kellogg found fault with the manner counsel for defense prompted each other. Mr McGrath had said that he knew Wolcott's Tepti- tation by the speech of the neighbor- hood. was below par, but that he did not know of certain criminal proceed ings being brought against him. when Mir Kellogg asked the court to redurst counsel for the defense to keen stil1. adding that he distinctly heard one of the attorneys remark to the othe that WoIcott was hound over fol forgerv. Judge Wheeler comnlied with the Teauest and added that he hared he would not have to meke similar request again. Attorney U NEIL SA1n fn nHd QeAF0 nO SucH Ie<s mark as MT Kellogg mentioned.
