Gil pin for tbe murder of Charles J. Kil gore grows with every minute. Tbe examination of the last of a score of witnesses will likely be conclu ded this morning, and then tbe fun be tween the Dwyers will begin. Judge Jenkins is presiding over the court. Tbe defendant is represented by Cap tain John C. Hart and Colonel Hal T Lewis. Solicitor Gray Lewis is assis ted in tbe prosecution by Mr. J. B. Park, jr. It is quite a coincidence that Hal Lewis and Gray Lewis, two brothers wbo are usually together on all impor tant matters, should be opposing each other in this very important case. Mrs. Gilpin, George Gilpin, brother of the accused, and a brother of the murdered man are the most interested spectators of the trial.
