to continue through the whole of the com ing week and 1t may possibly even go 1 over into the following week.
 Anticipating that 1t will require more than another week for completion the clerk of the Criminal court has given notice that the entire jury docket set for the week beginning November 25 will be passed and all jurors and wit nesses who had been summoned to at tend that week have been notified not to come.
 l Two colored witnesses were placed on the stand yesterday at the Wise trial and their testimony furnished much amusement for the spectators whether It will have any weight in the verdict of the 1 jury or not. The counsel for the state went more directly into the efforts to establish a conspiracy between Wise and Havis to take the life of Elias M. Lathem that they have heretofore done.
 Mrs. Wise. Mrs. William Wise, the wife of the de- 1 fendant, was in the court room during the afternoon for the first time during the progress of the trial and with the other members of the family sat within the railing near the defendant. No accurate estimate of the number of persons who attended the trial can be made, for the crowd is constantly chang ing. Many drop in and listen to the evil dence for a few moments and leave and 1 their places are immediately filled up by others Among the spectators many well known business men can be recognized showing the universal interest that is being taken ir the matter.
 Jury Instructed. 1 Just before the adjournment of court yesterday afternoon Juus D. A. Greene gave the jury instructors as to how today should be passed. He refused to allow them to attend church, but save them permission to take a walk 50 long as they remained in charge of the ballff, but he cautioned them particularly not l to hold communication with anyone about the case and not even to talk about 1t among themselves.
 | When he had finished Juryman Weiss arose and said they wanted to register kick against the sleeping quarters fur nished them. He said they were well fed, but that the sleeping rooms were miserably ventilated. The judge told them if the ventilation was not remedied to notify the court through the bailiff and | other quarters would be procured for them. He said it was the wish of the court to have the jurymen comfortably quartered.
 Animated Tits.
 Several animated tlts took place during 1 the day between the counsel for the two sides over the admissibility of certain testimony and the manner employed of | examining witnesses, but on the whole the trial has so far gone very smoothly. 1 T. w. Cox was on the stand when court adjourned Friday evening and at the opening yesterday morning he resumed, the cross-examination being conducted by 1 Hugh Morrow.
 Witness Cox. I The witness testified that he was sum- moned instanter to testify at the former trial; that on Tuesday preceding the day l he testified at the former trial he went to Captain Whites office, but did not tell him he was a poor man; that he did not tell Captain White that he saw Wise and Havis on Second avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets; that the subject of money was not mentioned during their conversation. l The witness was carefully examined as on April IT, the day he saw Havis and l it was the 17th because he saw it in the papers. Regarding his conversation with Captain White the witness said: T told Captain White that I knew something about the case and did not want to testi- fly against Wise or be mixed up in the case at all. and asked his advice about leaving town"
 He further said that MT. Pinkerton and MT. Austin, the detectives, had never spoken to him about the case, either be- fore or after he gave his testimony at the former trial.
