Cross Examines prisoner.

The case should go to the jury not
later than Friday evening. How many
hours it will take the Jurors to decide
the guilt or innocence Of the accused
youth is matter of much conjecture
in this city.
The cross examination Of Plan
schmidt was completed by Attorney
Bennett yesterday afternoon. The
youth maintained his collected COM
posture through the searching cross
examination and showed not as much
nervousness as he did Monday when
the direct examination was begun.
He was cool and collected throug h.
out the time he was on the stand. His
answers came quickly and easily.
There was no Indication that he was
attempting to remember what he had
testified at the former trial and yet
his answers compared favorably with
those at the first trial.

The state promised many surprises
