in i'» interval it reached to int-nsi
ty ; and since the case wag turned
over to the Jury quite an amount
of uncertainty has been developed.

amined for the State prolong'd the
trial. Their examination, both di
rect and cross, was very close and

ternoon on Thursday. Tlie defense
offered no testimony thereby ba
coming entitled to the conclusion
of the argument.

argument before the jury in a two
hours speech, at 10 p m Thursday.
The Judge’s charge placed the fate
of D.vis in *rre hands of twelve

to the testimony and the exhaus
