WEAK CASE. Taveras, Fla., April 11, —This •vas the eighth day of the Pack wood murder trial. The state in troduced several witnesses who swore that Mcßae, one of the de fendants, was seen the day attar rue murder: that Miss Bruce fought bravely as they saw scratch es on his neck. The state will claim that Mcßie was scratched by Miss Bruce while she was strug gling for her life and honor. An expert testified as to Mcßae* shirt, which the witnesses say was bloody. The expert swoic that the shirt was blood stained, but he would not swear the epotf were huma i blood. So far the state’s case against the defendant seems to be rattiei weak. It is purely circumstantial and the greater portion of the evi dence is unintelligible to persons not thoroughly acquainted with the locality. — "We are selling and propose tv continue selling millinery at ever figures than any so called‘‘fittoit’* house in t he city.
