Justice Fltsgerald turned to Mr. Del maa, who said that the defense would not oppose any motion to adjourn. The court then eald: "Under the circumstances, I think It well for the people to have an adjourn ment." Court than adjourned until Monday at 10:10 a. m.

The counsel tables were without the usual stack of law book, and papers. The proceedings today lasted but a few. moments. Thaw than went back to Uta Tombs. No Lunacy Commission. The possibility of a commission In lunacy haa passed. The case will now . go to the Jury on Its merits. "On the evidence aa It now stands. It will certainly go to tba Jury," aald Mr. Jerome. "If there la nothing be tween society and any one who wlahsa to attack It but a 'brainstorm,’ then It la Urns to go back to the days of tba frontier and have eveiy man carry a gun." Over this point a lively fight was looked for that would be settled only by a ruling by Justice Fltsgerald.
