F,ldora, Iowa, Jan. 28.-The defense
in the Blydenburgh murder trial oc-
/ cupied most Of the day in the intro
! duction of expert testimony in AN Ell
fort to prove that the presence or ar
! senical poisoning in the organs OF
the dead woman might have been
lproduced by the embalming fluid used.
+ DR.. Pagelson of Iowa Falls testlt1ed
that it would be impossible to tell
from an examination after death
whether the arsenic found in the or
gans came there from the embalmlng
process, or prior to death. IT.
Charles II. Hoffman Of Des MONIES
testified to the same thing. :. So
He was followed by. experts from
Marshalltown, Grinnell and other
points, including DR.. E. w. Clarke OF
Iowa college. The state says it has
scored g. victory in the testimony OF
the defendants witnesses, 1T being al
legged that their evidence was con-
Trajectory, and will therefore not have
weight with the jury. "' '"
: Professor Vaughn is here to-day
and will bring exhibits OF Mrs. bly,

defense feels that it scored heavily
with the testimony Of DR.. N. c. Morse
which was admitted yesterday. Judge
Richards told the lawyers that from
now on the court must proceed
whether the witnesses were here OF
not, as no further delay could be
made.

Special to The Journal. ,....--..--,. -..s-.- -a
Helena, Mont, Jan. 2S.-The Butte
city council, which is just now re-
strained from proceeding with its I'M
parchment charges against Mayor
Patrick Mullins by an alternative pro-
hibition issued out of Judge Harney's
court, came to the supreme court
yesterday with an application for a,
writ of supervisory control, the OBJ
ject being to have the higher tribunal
alinul the writ issued by Judge Har-
.ney. --- - -
The REALTORS in the case allege that
the writ was the outcome Of an &C
ton brought by Mayor. Mullins for the:
sole purpose of defeating the counc.;
in it's investigation of charges brought
against the executive of the big cop
per camp. -5ess
The writ prayed for was denied by
the court for the reason that the
court could not on the face of the
application see that setting. the hear
ing on the writ sixteen days from the
date Of it's issuance was an unneces-
sary delay in the date of'hearing, and
for the further reason that the court
could not, anticipate that the action
Of the district court upon that hear
ing would be erroneous, adverse or
dilatory. Presumption in favor of
proper action by the district court, the
supreme court added, must be III
dulged in in this case as in all others.
The city council seeks to GUST the
MAYOR on the ground that tribute was
Illegally collected from gamblers and
others by orders Of the mayor in pur-
suance Of a plan to make Butte a
