Hours Given to Finish
This Morning.

Two hours more of argument by coun-
sci, and the Haywood habeas corpus hear
ing viii be over, and only the decision of
the judges Will remain to be given.
Yesterday the taking of evidence went
on from ten o'clock in the morning until
about four in the afternoon. Then, by
request of the prosecution, argument was
allowed, although it had been tentatively
agreed on Saturday that the hearing
should close with the evidence and the
filing of written briefs.
The crowd yesterday was, # anything,
a little larger than on Saturday. The in
terest is still intense, and as the time for
the decision comes closer, the topic be-
comes more and more absorbing.
Mr.. Ernest Haywood begins to show
the effects of the fearful ordeal since the
hearing began. He seems to grow thin
ner, if that were possible. darker around
the eyes, and there seem to be deeper
lines in the face than or the first day OF
the hearing.
