section of the dining room once more
and the witness placed the chair, as he
thought he first saw it, and this time
he placed at or s inches nearer the
door. After some questioning by Mr.
Heath, witness decided that the cor
rect position of the chair was as he
had placed it in the morning. and he
STOOD it in its original place again.
Mr.. Heath asked permission of the
court to go through the same process of
exhibiting Il man on the floor as a
model of young Northy and for this
purpose introduced George Peaslee, u
court messenger. Mr.. Heath stated
that his assistant, Mr.. Hadlock, who
had played the part of the dying man
on the previous occasions, was out of
the city and that he wished to sub
stitute Mr.. Pcaslee. whose height he
gave as about feet and 10 inches, the
same as young Northy. The county at
torrey questioned the height of Mr.
Peaslee. and lively tilt between
counsel ensued.
Said Mr.. Heath: you are altOgeth-
err too free with your adjectives."
MIR. Leigh answered: II must take it
from YOU
The court interviewed here saying:
Let US be calm"
1.-The counsel for the defence is quite
calm. if Your Honor pleases," an
swe-ed Mr.. Heath. "Will the county at
torney measure the witness?''
mo. I'm not measuring your wit
nesses," rejoined the county attorney.
I've noticed that" was the terse re-
ply of Mr.. Heath.
1t was shown that Mr. Peaslee's
height was : feet, 93s inches, subst2n-
tally the same as that of young
No~thy. ans he assumed the position
ci. i.:e floor by the direction of the wit
"ess. as that occupied by young
NLrthy. when the witness first entered
the room.
And then for the third time since
Nond1y. the tragedy was rehearsed in
all its horror, and for the first time
since the trial began. Mrs. Cooner lost
complete control of her feelings and
cried pitifully, leaning her head over
the rail which separated her from her
husband. 1t was several minutes be-
fore she could regain control of her
emotion and She wept softly at inter-
walls during the remainder of the af
ternoon.
Tie position of young Northy on the
floor of the dining room was about the
same as that indicated by Mr.. Gray
and there was no material change in
his testimony regarding the relative

was taken and for the first time since
the trial began. Mrs. Cooper took adj
vantage of the short respite and in
company with her husband passed out
between the great pressing crowd of
spectators and spent the recess period

In rcsuming, Mr.. Heath stated to the
court that he could not do Justice to
the cause with the court room in the
condition that has existed since Mon
cay ana more particularly on Wednes-
day afternoon. He said that the circu-
