 During the wait for the messenger despatched for the paper. Mrs. Thav underwent the closest scrutiny by those in the court room. She was attiret 1 precisely as on every other day of tho | trial She was pale but entirely com posed and seemed to have been re- freshed by her rest over Saturday ana | Sunday.

 Justice Fitzgerald held that ther was no rule of law which will alloy the defendants own claims that threat were made against his life. Mir. Del mas claimed that if he could show ths the defendants statements were the re suit of Insane delusions he would hay . the right to show them.
