FRIDAY, JANUARY !
MORNING SESSION

On account O! the district attorney being occupied with the grand jury, and some minor matters of the federal court being under consideration this morning, the district court did not resune the Pfsnkuche case until 1915 and adjourned at li.3o. the only witness being called was Henry c. Pfsukuche of San Antonio, and brother of the defendant.
 Although only 6 little over an hour was used this morning on the case, it wac irsught with moments of intense excitement at times, there being no less than three demonstrations on the part of the defendant. Through the witness, the defence sought 10 prove that insanity run through the family and that the mother of the witness and defendant was at present m Chicago in . retreat on account of mental troubles.
 When testimony along this line was brought out, the de eudsnt called his brother . liar, and latter appealed to the court.
 Three times he stated he would plead guilty, and at Une time he was visibly affected, and with his eyes streaming with tears, he arose and said: Your honor, rather than have this cor. of testimony proceed, l will plead guilty"
 IL is very evident that William Pfsukuche's love for his mother and dead sister is very strong, ss st no time during the proceedings has he been a. sgitsted as be was this morn ing, when the names of his mother and dead sister were brought into the case.
 At one time, upon the mention of his mothers name, he started toward hi; brother withjthe evident intention of injuring him, and it took the entire strength of.seversl bsiliffs to restrain | him.
 Judge Dosn, in sdmonishing the prisoner this morning. told him that he would again have as chance to go upon the. witness stand and contradict any evidence that had been offered. Yesterday. when Mrs. Frsncis was giving her testimony, m that part where she stated that she heard noises from Pfsnkuche's room, which were those ofla man endeavoring to climb up the wall, he turned to one Of the bsiliffs and said, "I must have had drink of squirrel whiskey." :is evidsnt.that the territory is expecting to make out one or two perjury csses against 6 couple of wit- nesses, from certain actions. that are apparent to the onlookers. AFTERNOON SESSION This afternoon H. C. Pfsnkuche and Mrs. H. c. PfAnkuche, hie vile, were on the stand, their testimony following the line of defense to prove the prisoner was insane; also relating circumstances of the alleged insanity of the mother.
 During the afternoon the prisoner wac quiet and no outbursss or scenes of the morning session were reen- acted.
 It is not likely that the case will be concluded before tomorrow noon. WILL HOLD NIGHT SESSION
