Time to Consider Plea.

BILE. It was said he might not finish
his deliberations before Tuesday night

torneys to have the condemned man,
as we'll as the authors of several affl-
davits alleged to contain new evil
dence and the persons mentioned IN
them, called to the witness stand IN
the proceedings, failed for the time
being, at least. Justice Ford said ne
saw no necessity for calling witnesses.
