Afternoon Session.

At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion at o'clock the examination OF

which he had shown in previous testi-
mony.
Several long splashcs We're shown. he
ginning at 4 narrow point, broadening
out in the middle and ending in a point
at the lower extremity again. The larg-

inches long and all showed a tendency
to slant towards the kitchen door. and

all there were about 25 small blood
stains which were too diminutive to be
intelligently measured.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Heath. the
court permitted Mrs. Cooper to leave
her place to arrange the lace curtain
which was brought into court. about
the section of the window as it was on
the day OF the tragedy. The ordeal was
a trying one for the woman. but she
met II bravcly and assisted one of the
deputy sheriffs in lacking the curtain
in it's position on the portion Of the
window frame attached TO the wall.
Mr.. Heath then requested the wit
ness to make an examination of the
curtain. He did so and reported that
he found reddish discoloratiOn on
one Of the tassels that held the curtain
in place and also on the fringe sur
rounding 1t. This concluded the ex-
animation Of the witness and after an
swering few questions put by the
county attorney, he was allowed to re-
tire.
Including Saturdays session. Engi-
ncer Getchell was on the stand about
five and one-half hours and the testi-
mony furnished by him will be of great
Importance in later developments.

mOned by the State. He read the list

places in the narrow aisle between the
bar enclosure and the jury box.
In order to take places facing the
desk of the clerk of courts each wit
ness was forced to pass directly past
or very near the defendant, and many
as they passed, touched garments with
her. MIR. Heath noticing that this
caused some Inconvenience and an
ncyance to Mrs. Cooper. escorted her to
the prisoners dock where she sat until
the witnesses We're sworn.
The witnesses stood in three long
rows and with uplifted right hands lis
tened to the solemn oath as it was i'm
posed upon them, one. each and all.
by the clerk of the courts. c. w. Jones.
When the witnesses had been sworn
the court ordered the sheriff to clear
ire two stalls on each side of the court
room ana the seats in the rear of the
room SO that the witnesses could be
provided with seats. About 200 specta-
tors were forced to leave the room in
ofder TO make room for the witnesses.

witnesses occupied but a few minutes
and the second witness for the State
was called to the stand at a few min
utes after o'clock.
