THE TRIAL.

The inevitable day of the trial ar
rived, and for those it most concerned
suspense was to end, though certainly
might bring the realization of their
worst fears. The sensation It caused
far outstripped the county and brought
to the hearing Of the case a crowd
SUCH as might have seven times over
filled the court.
The evidence already given aft tha
coroner's inquest was gone through cir
cumstantially and infinitely; one Wit
ness after another being examined and
cross examined, no question being left
unasked that might elicit information
or provoke suggestion. Then came the
crown prosecutors speech mmar
ing the chief points against the prts-
oner.
h case had already occupied tba
greater part Of the day, whose light he
gan to fade as Godfrey Bysshe rose to
make his defense. In It's purport and
the Impression 1t might make on the
jury lay the prisoners sole hope of e.
cape from h gallows.
Geoffrey Bysshe was not an eIoo,ent
man. Deliberate and emphatic hIs
facts were built n upon the other un-
til a solid wall Of we'll considered do
Tense gradually rose around and pro-

NO NEWS OF IMPORTANCE.
Only Factor in Far Eastern War Ii
Japanese Reinforcements.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-There is no
news of immediate Importance from
the far East. The indications are that
both sides are heavily entrenching,
though it is believed that General Ku-
ropatkin will be ready for a forward
move at an early moment unless heavy
Japanese reinforcements compel him
to remain on the defensive. Reports
that Japanese reinforcements are ar
irving, taken in connection with the
enforced inactivity of the Russian
forces on account OF the weather, are
felt to be a grave factor In the situa-
ton. There is reason to believe that
the Japanese are drawing heavily up
on the Port Arthur army as we'll as on
Japan, in hopes of securing a numeri-
cal superiority that will enable Field
Marshal Oyama to inflict a crushing
blow upon General Kuropatkin when
hostiLties are resumed.
