ennial witness!" exclaimed Samuel
Kalisch, of counsel for the defense,
when Mason, for the fourth time in rhe
course of the trial. made his appear
ance on the witness stand.
1t is likely that the trial, from which
all but those directly interested in it
have been shut out, partly because of
the bad ventilation in tho courtroom
and partly because of the character tf

into next week. 1t WAS announced by
Mr.. Mott upon the adjournment yes
terday afternoon that today, If not
more, would be still used by the State,
and at the same time Mr.. Kalisch an
nounced that he had a large number
of witnesses to be heard in the defense.
The defense. it is understood, will be
a complete and specific denial of all the
allegations that have been made
against CORDIALLY, and the characters
of the prosecutions witnesses will be
attacked.
Mr. Mason was called to testify to
the raid made on the Prudential Hotel,
