Apartfrom this a small armyof ex-
hausted men—dawn". court officials and
neenpaper reporters—will offer up thanks
for the termination of. in many respects.
the most extraordinary case tried since
Lady Justice bandaged up her eyes and
started in business. ,
When the trial began last londay.
everybody anticipated a siege of at least
two weeks. but Tuesday the case took one
sudden turn and yesterday another. which
will help to push it to swift conclusion.
The decision of Judge Arnold that no tes-
timony would he admitted other than
that hearing directiycn the murder of
Benjamin F. Pltesei- had’ the effect of
keeping out a group of grewsome exhibits
and silencing about 80 witnesses brought
here from Canada. New England and the
west and supported for six days at the
ccrnmonwe’alth‘s expense. it prevented
the adoring in evidence of the moldered
bones of the boy. Howard Pitezei. the
stove in which he was burned, the clothes
the little fellow were when he had a body
to put inside of them and the toys he
played with and the ' trunk which smoth~
cred out the lives of the girls Alice and
Nellie. Besides. it put a quietus on Do-
tsctive Geyer. whose detailed narrative of
his travels over the continent in a soc
cessfnl search for evidences of Holmes' de-
structive movements would have made a
thrilling tale. District Attorney Graham
fought as hard as he knew how to get this
evidence in. but the law was against him.
and the defense scored its first and proba-
bly its last victory. When he found him-
self defeated. he said he would close his
case. and he kept his word. He did not
even exhibit the skull of Pitezei. thereby
disappointing a lot of ,people who love to
revel in the horrible.
There is an impression that Lawyer R.
0. Moon will do the talking for the do
tense. and his forensic ability is of no
mean order. It was he whom Holmes
called upon last Monday when he dismiss-
ed his lawyers. Mr. Moon declining the
task through lack of time for preparation.
He admitted being familiar with the main
facts and will be well qualified to address
the jury.
There was no change in .Bolmes' de-
meanor. although a keen observer might
have perceived a deeper puller on. his
cheeks and in his blue eyes the subdued
glare of a wild beast tracked to earth at
last. But it needed a keen eyeto detectit.
Was lire. Please) the Ive-gill?
hfrs. Pitesel was again recalled for a
moment to tell that she. too. bud been in
jail on a charge of conspiracy and had
been discharged. In cross examination
the defense said it would show that it was
Mrs Pltezel who had led Holmes about
the country. and not the defendant who
had moved her from town to town.
The district attorney ensured at that
and spoke of subjecting the “poor woman
on the stand" to a still greater strain.
Mr. Retail. who is a hearty. honest and
rather impulsive young man. blurted out
that tho prosecuting oliloor who under
stmd; that ho was simply talking for of-
fuct on the jury.
The block gtiwnod Judge Arnold want—
ed to know if the defense was going to
show that hire. Pltozel was the Svcngali.
A dappor young man. woaflng n light
suit. red necktie. and with curly black
hair. came forward when the name of
John King was fuelled. He testified to the
fact that he read the manuscript of a book
entitlod”iloimos’ Own Story." Ho re:
solved the manuscript from Lawyer Shoc-
muker. one of the mtmsei for the defense.
He could not any whether it was written
by Holmes. as it was typewritten when he
received it.
The typewriter. a pale faced. solemn
visaged. spectacles! young woman. who
made the copy. was in the cceirtroom and
was neat sworn. She gave her name as
Amy Long nod noted as if she thought u
dire fate was abmlt to overtake her at
any moment. or that she had committed
some awful crime in making a copy of
the manuscript. A copy of the lurch was
handed to her. and she was asked if she
had typewritten it.
She thought she bad. "i didn't read
the ironic.“ she said earnestly. i-lhe said
the manuscript had been in pencil and
didn't know if she could recognise the
same writing again. Souls writing was
shown to her. and she sold it looked like
the sauce writing. She had secured the
original manuscript from shoemaker.
Dr. lmffmon conic thick to tell about
deaths from “chloroform. According to
his own statement. he has never seen a
death prmluood by chloroform. lie was
called as an expert by the prosecution.
Isl-ids heel-y Advanced.
hlr. liotan wanted to know from the
witness if it were possible for a person to
tales chloroform without outside assist»
sues; thus the defense wanted later on
to show that l’itssel bad committed eulo
side.
Chlomform. he thought. invariably pro-
duced inflammation of the membrane of
the stomach. No inflammation was dis-
covered io the stomach of Pitssel. thoth
more than an ounce of chloroform was
found there. hie. ltotau tried to pin the
witness down to the statement that lithe
choioform had been taken ball an hour
before death it would not have produced
ludsmmstloo. but the witness wouldn‘t
say that mitively.
Mr. Rollin did get from the witness.
however, that chlomlorru might have been
taken iii minutes before death and not
use inflammation. lilr. Retail got
its to say also. and to Holmes it was
worth mcrethscsil the rest in his is
var. that tile difference betwvso the in-
lssamstmo mused by alcohol and chloro-
form could notes determinedwith any

that they were satisfied that the common

Men asked the court to either discharge
the prisoner or charge the jury to acqui-
Holmes.
Ir. Graham said Mr. Rotan’s request
was so ridiculous that he would not ever
reply to it, and Judge Arnold refused tr
mahoaruling discharging the prisoner,
andsaid that the case must go to the'

llr. Rotan then asked for a recess for
two or three hours, saying that he and hit
colleagues had not had time to consul:
with their client and arrange the line or
defense. Judge Arnold refused to gran'
the request. stating that the defense must
either proceed with their side of the case
or allow the case to go to the jury.
Mr. Rotnn then asked and was mantel.

After a whispered conversation between
Mr. Eaton and Judge Arnold the latter
announced that a recess of half an heat
would be taken.

Before the prisoner was brought in it
was announced that the defense would
rest its case on the commonwealth's testl
mony.
Holmes was brought in directly. and,
although it must have been is trying mo
meat for him. he showed no evidence or
discomposuro.
Mr. Rotate stated to the court the con
oluslon he and Mr. Shoemaker had arrivml
at. He said they had arrived at this con.
cluslon because lack of time preventoo
the bringing of important witnesses from
a distance and also barons» they felt that
the commonwealth had not made out its
case.
The defense was willing to rest, will.
the proviso. however, that the court did
not hasten them with their speeches and
would allow the case to go over until to

and it was agreed that the closing argu-
