Will 60 to Jury Monday Afternoon.
The evidence in the case was closed a
little before O'Clock Saturday after
noon, and though there would have
been time for one of the arguments be-
fore the usual hour of adjournment,
Judge Whitehouse decided that he
would not ask it. Accordingly court
adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday
morning. As the Democrat goes to
press Hon John P. Swasey Is making
the argument for the defence. At the
afternoon session Hon. W. G. Pbilbrook
will make the argument for the state, to
he followed at once by the charge OF
Judge Whitebouse, and it Is expected
that the case will be given to the jury at
about O'Clock Monday afternoon.
The trial has been rather shorter than
the one in October, and though there
has been but little new evidence, the
evidence on both sides has been pre-
sented in better form than at the first
trial. Some matters which were not
material have been omitted, and the i'm
portant facts have been more fully
dwelt upon, and the evidence marshaled
in such way as to enable the jury to
get clearer view of 1t.
Judging from the number which have
crowded the court room and been turn
ed away from the doors, interest in the
case Is undated.
