On cross examina- ton her tory was unshaken.
 A hundred persons, men who could not find seats in the court room and boys, barred because of their youth, vied with one another for the places near the entrance to catch word ol her testimony. The girls examination lasted about half an hour.
 With the completion of her testi- rnouy the state rested it's case and the defense immediately began exam nation of it's witnesses. Ten had been questioned when adjournment was taken tonight.
