cation as to the summonipg of the Grant

Had the court been apprised of this at
the time the party went into Grant county

KNOX MURDER TRIAL.

Evidence Yesterday Not of a Very
 Thrilling Nature-FOur Boys Pro-
 duced Yesterday as Witnesses by the PrOsecutiOn-John E. Bassett De-
 scribes Technical Points of the Pistol
 Judge Warns the Jury.
 The evidence produced in the Knox murder trial yesterday was not of a very important character and little was told by the witnesses to strengthen the case for the prosecution After the evil dence of the boy Caplin, another news boy named David Proctor was placed upon the stand. He testified briefly as iuo what he saw on the night of the fray In his evidence he told that Mrs. Knox treid to prevent fight. But he couldn't remember hearing anyone say, XII the Nigger" The state next pro- duced another boy, who said he wit messed the tragedy. He was described as a messenger boy, bearing the name or Charlie Lpson. Charlie lisped out a story similar to the previous wit nesses. He said that the white people ran into the eolored contingent. He also testified that the white fellow threatened to strike the colored people. Asked by MT. Williams if he ever heard gun fired, Lipson answered in a mat ter of fact way, "Yes, sir; on the Fourth of July" The answer set the spectators laughing, and the sheriff had to call for order.
 Still another boy, the fourth one in succession, was produced by the state. His name was Layinsky. He virtually supstantiated the evidence already giv- en. The remainder of the afternoon was taken up with the evidence of sergeant Smith, Officers Hoffman and Roche, who arrested Knox. All gave direct testimony to show that the pis- tol held by the court was the one with which Knox did the shooting John B. Bassett of Church street, the we'll known gun and pistol dealer, was the last witness put on the for the day. He was questioned as to the style of the weapon shown, it's carrying power and other technical points. In an attemnt to show that Knox had fired the pis- twice. MT. Bassett was asked to ex- plain the meaning of a dent in the primer of the next cartridge to the one fired, and if such a dent could be caused by any other means than that of the trigger. But on this point MT. Bassett could throw little light, claim Ing that the dent might be accounted Tor in a great many ways Asked by MT. Isbell if there was a possibility of the trigger skipping one of the cham .oers and striking the next, he said there was. The court then adjourned until 10 70 clock Tuesday morning. The judge warned the Jury against discuss lng the case with any one, and advised them to let thegnewspapers alone.
