(From Thursdays Advertiser)
Despite many arguments on the adj
missibility of evidence, in the course of
which the jury would be excused from
the courtroom the trial of Jose Miranda
for the murder of Samuel Edward Dam
on made good progress Yesterday. Pros
poets are good for conclusion OF the
trial today.
The prosecution has but one more
witness to call This is the woman,
Marie Antonia Colona, who was with
Miranda and ''the blind boy" Chito,
when Damon was stabbed. An interest
ing coincidence in respect to this wom-
an is that George A. Davis, first coun
sci for Miranda assigned by the court,
when a Circuit Judge sentenced her to
a years imprisonment for some offense.
Some evidence offered was ruled out
on the questions and other evidence
struck out on motion OF the defense
after the answers had been recorded.
Messrs. Davis and Thompson were both
alert in seizing upon every legal objec-
ton they could raise from the books to
intercept points attempted to be made
by the prosecution.

SHOULD CHAIN STREETS.
There seems need for claiming up
Militant street between King and Queen
streets during sessions of court under
Judges Gear and De Bolt. When
wagons pass by, witnesses testimony is
drowned out and a serious interruption
to the progress OF cases occurs. Dur
ing court sessions in New Orleans, the
streets surrounding the court house are
chained in.
