The sensation of this mornings ev idence in the Macdonald case was the introduction by the defense of two ser ies of photographs; one of them to establish the contention of the defense that the blueprint frame in a window of the house occupied by R. A. Kin zie, assistant superintendent of the Treadwell properties at the time of the shooting. a part of which at one time had been use as offices, had been from the window of the room that afterwards was used as kit chen and not from the window of one of the rooms that had been afterward used at a bedroom, and the other to show that it would be impossible for one looking from a window in Mrs Tubbs' house to see Mrs. Macdonald standing in the down stairs bedroom window of the Macdonald residence, as she had testified. (Mrs. Macdonald had testified that she was upstairs at the time of the shOOting0
 The point of the controversy over the room in which the blue print frame had been located is the testimony of Anna Olson, then Anna Hain, who tes- tified that she had seen the shooting of Jones from one of the bedrooms in the Kinzie house. Kinzie and many others have testified that thes windows were all shielded by a high hedge of raspberry bushes and that it would have been impossible for her to have seen anything taking place on the plaza from there. The government tried to impeach this testimony by proving that there was a blue print frame in one of the bedrooms the year before. This was to prove that there were no berry bushes there that would shut out the sun. The defense then introduced testimony to show that the blue print frame was from the win dow that is now the kitchen window, and not the bedroom window.
 Witness Tells of Photographs.
 Lloyd Winter. a Juneau phOtOgra- pher testified that he had taken and developed these pictures; that Rus sell Wayland, James Christoe, Fred Heber, Mir. Casey, MT. James and B. D. Stewart, a Juneau engineer, assist ed him: that the window in the Tubbs bedroom had been removed so that the lens might focus a very clear pie ture of the Macdonald bedrooms 1; that the pictures were taken in driz- zly rain so that no shadow would show in the picture. MT. Winter tes- tified that a man stood behind each of the windows in question in the Macdonald house and that even with the curtains pulled aside, neither was visible either through the camera lens or to the naked eye from the window in the Tubbs home Counsel agreed at the suggestion of one of the jur ors, to waive the testimony of MT Winters assistants in the work. Dis trict Attorney Rustgard then agreed to admit that all had been present al the time the pictures were taken and that none could observe any figure iI the windows in question of the Mac Donld home.
 Old Nail Holes Show.
 The pictures of the plaza windows of the KinZie house showed the holes in which the nails that had held the superstructure that had supported the blue print frame had been, also the plugged semicircular slots in the bot tom of the sash that had been made to make room for the tracks on the superstructure for the wheels of the blue print frame when it was wheeled out into the sun. The nail holes anC the slots were exactly similar to these in the window from which the blue print frame is now operated. a picture of which was also submitted. Pictures of the bedroom windows showed nc such indications that they had evel been used for the frame.
 l. B. Carpenter, head carpenter al Treadwell. testified positively that nc other window in the Kinzie house bore any evidence of ever having had z blue print frame nailed to it.
