II don't remember returned Adams,
growing more and more impatient
The small inquiry room crowd, some
three score men and women In equal
numbers listened breathlessly during
this recital Occasionally there were
low muFmuTs of surprise, and more than
one adniriug eye was upon Mrs. Parker
who sat with an amused smile as Adams
attempted 10 nullify her statements.

Most assuredly, and by competent
testimony" said Mr.. Davis.
This settles the fact that Mrs. Rose
Sutton Parker is herself to tell a dra-
matte story Of her long interview with
lieutenant Adams nearly two years
ago
It has been decided to convene the
court OF inquiry each morning at 10
o'clock. Adjournment viii be taken at
! and the court viii TecOlV6ne at and
be in session until Z O'c'0ck.
Al the present date OF the tedious eX-
animation It appears that at least ten
days viii be consumed in the second
hearing TO develop whether Lieutenant
Sutton shot himself because he had shot
q feIOw-otficer, whether he was aCci-
dentaiiy killed, or whether he was muir

Attorney Davis and Van Dyke. repre-
senting Mrs Sutton and her daughter
expressed satisfaction with the progress
made so far, and continue in their con-

Crowd Expectant.
After a skilIfuI cross-examination in
which Adams was made to repudiate
come of his testimony given at the first
hearing two years ago, Attorney Davis
had Just gotten the witness up to the
point OF his interview with Mrs. Parker
when the court adjourned yesterday
afternoon. At that time Adams had aD-
pareEtiy become a little nervous by the
cross-questiOning and was showing i'm
patience. The crowd, therefore, expect
cd nothing less than a scene when he
came 10 mis- four-hOur interview with
SuttOn's sister. II was known that she
told Adams 7on that memorable occasion
how she wished she was man. that
her eyes had flashed and that she had
advanced toward him in anger as he
told of the beating administered her
brother
There was some air OF expectancy,
therefore, today.
Il told Rose she ought not TO gaze
At Adams so hard while he is testify
ing. Her eyes seem just glued upon
him." said the mother
i just cannot help it, mother" re-
BpOnded the daughter.
Adams Re-examined.
In the early hours Of the session to-
day Adams was made TO 90 over again
some points OF the midnight campus
Attorney Davis # he would say that
Sutton killed himself. Adams replied:
"A shot entered his head. I simply
saw him move his head and body as
be lay on the ground, raise his arm,
and then I saw the flash. I could not
see the bullet" he continued. rather IL
Fitated- Il saw him go through the
action Of shooting. 1 have not said IN
30 many words he killed himself
A question by Davis as TO whether
Adams gave an interview 10 q New
York paper in which ne said ne did not
believe il was right TO trump w
charges OF murder against two who are
Innocent" precipitated a long argu-
ment between the attorneys. Davis
Eaid
7 have the right to find out whether
this witness considers himself under the
charge OF murder, and whether his te6-
Eimouy Is given under the spur Of de-
Tense. OF whether he is testifying as
any other witness"
The court ruled that the question need
not be answered
