Dr. Erdmann resumed his testimony in the Hamilton case this morning. He con tinued his technical description of the wounds on Day's body, and under cross examination went more into detail. "Are you now prepared to say that in your opinion the wound on the head, the fatal wound and the one opposite the arm pit could not have been made by the big knife blade?" "Xo," said the doctor, "not if you in clude the mortal injury." Mr. Smith had a suspicious-looking package on the table before him, which v A. M. BARBE, WITNESS. was later discovered to be a skeleton. He asked the witness if he would be able to describe the wounds made on Day by the aid of the skeleton. "No, sir," replied the witness, "for the reason that there is no soft structure on a skeleton." Mr. Smith then tried a new tack. "Sup pose I removed my collar and necktie," he said, "could you show the jury on me?" Mr. Smith proceeded to divest himself of these articles of apparel. He then stood before the jury while Dr. Erdman took the blood-stained knife and, standing be hind the witness and in front of the jury, he brought the murderous weapon down over the attorney's shoulder to indicate his point, that the blows or cuts must have been delivered on Day from the rear. In other words, that the edge of the knife must have been toward the mur dered man's back. The wound on the head, he said, could not have been made by the same instru ment that produced the fatal wound. The other wounds could have been inflicted by the knife in evidence. The Skeleton Disrobed. At this juncture Mr. Smith produced his skeleton, a ghastly, polished pile of bones, and held it before the jury. All of the at torneys crowded around while Dr. Erd mann held the skeleton and made motions over the skeleton's shoulder to show how the fatal blow was delivered. By thrust- NO NIBBLES*. An Old Fish Knows Good Bait From Poor. A good old family doctor down in Eden burg, Miss., says he is not afraid to tell the truth about coffee and its effect on him and the remarkable change produced by • leaving off and taking Postum Food Coffee in its place. He used coffee for many years, and says: "Of late years I have been so nervous that I dreaded to perform an operation, and my eyesight- had bothered me a con siderable. I think about two years ago I fiist heard of Postum Food Coffee, and gave it a trial. I am not. quick to bite at humbugs, but the change in my physical condition brought about by leaving off coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee was a complete surprise. I began to eat well, sleep well, and in just three months my eyesight was restored, my nerves strong, headaches disappeared, and my chronic catarrh of thirteen years' standing was cured with little or no treatment except the change in coffee. "I am to-day stout, erect, and weigh twenty pounds more than I did before giv ing up coffee. I have an extensive prac tice and have had very satisfactory re sults among my patients where I have in duced them to leave off coffee and take Poetum in its place. "Coffee is ruining and destroying thou sands of our young Americans, and it is a pleasure to know of a nutritious and pal atable breakfast beverage that rebuilds the nervous system rather than tears it down, as-the old coffee does. "It may interest you to know that we had much the same experience as many others when we first began to prepare Postum. We boiled it in a desultory sort of a way for a few minutes and the prod uct was not satisfactory. Turning to the directions we discovered the fault and from that time we have followed those di rections, which are simple enough, with the most satisfactory results in point of flavor and food values. "With my best wifih.es for your contin ued success." —Dr. A. G. Alston. ing the knife between the bones be showed how the bone of the first rib was cbipp«d off. The skeleton was offered in evidence by the state. Attorney Nye then took the witness, who said there was a fragment of bone found in the cut. The lung was cut into to the depth of one inch. The subclavian vein was only partially severed. To Mr. Smith witness then said the knife entered above the first rib. "That is all," said Mr. Smith. "That is all." echoed Mr. Penney. Dr. Erdmenu Coniea Back. After a brief season the defense re called Dr. Erdmann to show to the jury the location of the subclavian artery and vein with reference to the rib. The grinning; skeleton with a big brass ring screwed into the top of its head was again brought before the jury box. Dr. Erdmann said: "I'm going to give you anatomical facts now, facts on which I have based my deductions." He then pro ceeded to show the location of the vari ous veins and arteries and to explain how they were interfered with by the cut which caused Leonard Day'a death. The jury exhibited the greatest interest i in Dr. Erdmann's statements which, de spite their technical language, appeared to be convincing. They were clearly stated at any rate. The attorneys crowded about j the skeleton and hundreds of necks j throughout the courtroom were craned to catch a glimpse of the uncanny proceed ing. Dr. Erdmann's explanations lasted five minutes. At the conclusion of the doctor's exposi tion, an amusing colloquy took place be tween the attorneys as to the disposition of the skeleton. It was finally removed at the request of the doctor. Dr. Rleker on Hamilton's Injury. Dr. George E. Ricker was the next wit ness. He said he had lived in Minne apolis for sixteen years. On the Sunday of the tragedy he called 1 DR. ERDMAN GOING TO THE STAND. on Mr. Hamilton. He found a lump on his forehead near the edge of the hair. There were other contusions over his face. AH of the marks might have been made by one instrument. "What was his mental condition?" The state immediately interposed an ob jection, but before the court could rule upon it, Mr. Nye withdrew the question and the doctor left the stand. There was no cross-examination. Reporters Give Evidence. Arthur J. Pegler was next called. He testified that he knew Hamilton well, and called upon him at the city hall the next morning. "Did you notice his face?" "Yes,sir; his face appeared swollen. His forehead was swollen on the right side, his eye was discolored and the side of his nose was swollen. He couldn't wear his hat straight." Mr. Pegler was excused without cross examination. Paul Gyllstroin, a reporter on the Times, was the next witness-. He was at the West hotel on the morning of the tragedy—arrived there about 3 o'clock. In all the time he was there he did not hear Hamilton say anything whatever re garding the affair. "You were not beside Hamilton and the officer all the time you were there, were you?" asked Mr. Boardman. "No, sir." "That's all." said the county attorney. Hamilton's Physician Testifies. Dr. J. L. Stone, Hamilton's physician, visited the prisoner at the lockup the Sunday evening of the tragedy. He saw bruises on Hamilton's head. There was a pronounced one on the forehead near the hair Hoe. There was another Just above the eyebrow and still another alongside of the nose. The face was swollen. Dr. Stone was not permitted to testify as to Hamilton's mental condition "eigh teen hours after the tragedy." "The marks on Hamilton could have been made and probably were made," said the witness," by one instrument, a cane or stick or something of the sort." Mr. Nye then asked as to the defend ant's mental condition resulting from the blows you have described?" "Objected to," said Mr. Boardman. The objection was sustained, the court confining the witness' answers to Hamil ton's physical condition. The Trousers of Evans. Ray L. Evans was recalled by the de fense. After a wrangle he was permitted to testify. Mr. Nye asked the witness if he sent a pair of pants to be cleaned, containing a bioody handkerchief. "I don't know whether I sent any pants there or not. If so, they were not the ones I had on at the West hotel." 'You sent a pair?" "I ■ don't know." "Did you send, a pair of pants there with a cut in one of the legs?" "No, sir, not the one's I had on that night. I had a bloody handkerchief after that evening. It might have been taken to the establishment, yes, sir. But I don't think any of my clothes went that. Monday." On cross-examination witness said he now had on the same suit of clothes he wore at West hotel. There had never been a cut in them. The blood on the handkerchief came from the abrasion on his head when Force pushed him down hard in the chair that night. On redirect examination witness said he would swear that he did not have a pair of pants sent, out with blood or cuts on them. At 11:35 Mr. Xye announced that the defense had little more testimony'to offer and probably would not detain the court to exceed an hour. An adjournment was then taken until 2 o'clock. Afternoon Session. Upon the convening of court for the afternoon session, H. G. Robinson, receiv ing and shipping clerk for the Pantorium, swore that' on Nov. 26, Monday, he re ceived a box of clothing marked "Ray L#. Evans." Witness identified an entry in his day book of one coat, one vest and two pair of trousers. "Did you notice anything peculiar about the trousers?" "I noticed a clot of blood on the leg and .something like a cut on the left leg. I called the attention of the press mao to the fact." On cross-examinatFon witness said he could identify the pants that were cut. | THE MXSTNEAPQLIS JOURNAL. 1 The cut was below the knee. It was about one inch in length. "Where was the blood mark?" "Just above, might have been an inch or two." Mr. Boardman showed the witness a pair of pants. "Those are not the ones," said the witness. Ray L. {Ivans stepped forward and wit ness was asked to examine Evans' pants to see if they were the ones. After ex amination, witness said: "Those are the pants." But a moment later he could not find the cut after inspecting Evans* legs before the Jury box. The trousers looked like them, but he couldn't see the cut. Tin- I'lliit» Momler'H Story. A. G. Gilbert, al3o an employe at the Pantorium, testified that on Nov. 26 he found a pair of pants received from Ray L. Evans. He identified the pants by a note in the pockets. His attention was called to the fact that their owner had been in the West hotel trouble the night before. "Were there marks upon them?" "Yes, sir; blood stains on the front and | down the front, about the knee, and oth- I er3 below the knee. I also observed a cut and a tear. The tear had been sewn up in a very bungling manner. The tear was a three-cornered affair. The cut that was ! sewed up had not been pressed. I think I these marks were on the right leg of the I pants." » Mr, Penney showed the witness a blood-stained handkerchief. "I identify that as a handkerchief I found in Mr. Evans' clothing. It has been ir. mv pos session ever since. The blood Itains were not dry. They were still moist, not dry and hard." Evans was again requested to come for ward to have his pants inspected. Wit ness looked him over very carefully and then said: "No, sir, they are not the same pants." Continuing his cross-examination, wit ness said he brushed the blood off the trousers he received that day from Evans, He used a hard brush. His long experi ence, he said, enabled him to tell that the stains on Evans' pans were blood stains. He said blood would dry on clothing and not saturate the goods en tirely. Witness found a piece of paper in Evans' pocket with his name on. It was thus be identified the pants. Bartender Heard no Confession Will A. Chandler, the West hotel bar tender, on watch the morning of the trag edy, was the next witness. He testified that he was around the hotel that night until 7:30 a. m. "Did you see this defendant in the cue tody of Rooney?" "Yes. sir. I asked Hamilton if he wanted a drink. The officer said 'no,' We later gave him some bromo." "Did you hear any conversation between him and Rooney?" , "No, sir." "Did you hear Hamilton make any statement of any kind?" "No, sir." Cross examined witness said he was not in the billiard-room and did not know what ■went on between them. "I stod close to them two or three min utes. Was in and out all night. "You don't pretend to have been near Roney and Hamilton all the time?" "No, sir; although they were not often out of my sight." Robert Hastings, a son of ex-County Treasurer Hastings, one of Leonard Day's supper party,at Barge's was called. He went to the -theater with Day and later accompanied him to Barge's. At the theater Day had one drink—a glass of beer. At Barge's he had another drink — a "Scotch high ball." Hastings was at Barge's fifteen min utes. When the second drink was ordered witness left. Hastings was accompanied, he said, by Carl De Laittre, who left with him. :'Day wasn't at all under the in fluence of liquor," he said. The Defense Rests. At 3 o'clock the defense rested and court adjourned until 2 p. m. to-morrow. A. M. BARBE EXPLAINS W'ltuenH Tells Why He Didn't Come Before. On cross-examination yesterday A. M. Barbe, the longest witness in the Hamilton case, explained with regard to his flat statement, "The state wired me not to come," that after he had been subpoenaed for Dec. 12, former County Attorney Reed had sent a telegram say ing "Will wire you when to come; keep us advised as to your whereabouts." Mr. Barbe produced the telegram in evidence, at Mr. Boardman's request, and incidentally remarked that he had also been in correspondence since the receipt of the telegram with the present prosecut ing attorney, but had not been told when to come. In addition to that part of his testimony which appeared in The Journal yes terday, Mr. Barbe said that in the gen eral scuffle, from which Day staggered, he (Barbe) had got hold of W. G. Ben nett's leg and attempted to pull him out of the crush. As Hamilton, who had walked away from the first scuffle with Canfield, started back from the corridor, there was a second mix-up. Hamilton had no part in the last scrimmage. "The next thing I noticed," said Barbe, "was Day reeling out of the crowd and coming toward me in a very weak walk. I took hold of his arms and laid him down on the 1 floor and discovered blood on his shirt. I tried to assist Day toward the bar to get a drink, but as he started to fall I eased him to the floor. I called for Bennett, the only m^n in the crowd I knew." Positive on Cross-Examination. On cross-examination Barbe was posi tive that Day had fallen into his arms. Barbe had first seen the knife and had directed O'Malley's attention to the weapon as it layi on the floor near Day's side. He saw no one strike Day. As far as he could judge none of them were fight ing directly with Day. May Mclntosh testified to having seen a knife in Day's possession in September, which closely resembled the "exhibit." She could nwt positively identify the weapon. Rev. William Wilkinson testified that when he saw Hamilton in the county jail Monday there were three bruises on the defendant's forehead -and his nose was badly swollen. Hamilton's Roommate. Guy S. Canfield, Hamilton's roommate, a reporter for the Tribune, was a good witness for the defense. He heard Day say to Hamilton: "I heard you said I was a cad." "I did, and now that I see you I am sure of it," Hamilton had replied. When the two men went down in a clinch, "six or seven" of the crowd had clustered around the combatants and pulled them apart. Hamilton and Canfield. without any sug gestion on the part of the latter, had then walked toward the corridor. "You had better stay out here. Ham," Canfield had advised. Canfleld frankly admitted that no one in the crowd, including himself, was what he would call sober. He swore positively that he did not say to O'Malley: "Arrest that man; don't let him get away." Canfield admitted having sent two tele grams after Day's death, the first at Hamilton's request . to a western friend. The first —copies of both being produced— read: "Hamilton is under arrest charged with murder; come at once." The second read: "Day was killed in a drunken row; there is no proof that Hamilton is guilty." Doctors Recalled. Dr. Henry Nelson, ex-coroner, testified further about the "bloody trail." He said that it started from the body and took a short cut to the toilet-room. This is somewhat in conflict with other evidence. Fred George says he left the trail. In that case it must have com menced from the point where he claims a second time to have separated, the two belligerents, at least twenty feet from where Day succumbed. Dr. Erdman was placed on the stand for further cross-examination. His testimony was attentively listened to by Drs. Weston and Dunsmoor, for the state. OATMEAL AND MATCHES.

GROUT BILL FIRST Farmers Demand That It Be Placed Ahead of Ship Subsidy. SECRETARY KNIGHT'S STATEMENT Mm Says Its/Defeat Will Give the Dairy." Interest a Black Eye. Special to The Journal. Washington, Feb. 15.—Interest in the fate of the Grout antioleomargarlne bill is growing more intense as the end of the session draws nigh. Members from the Mississippi valley states are free in their opinions that un less something is done in the senate within the next few days looking to the passage of the measure there will be an explosion of wrath such as has not been witnessed for many days in that delibera tive body. There is agreatdeal of pent-up anxiety upon the part of those senators whose constituents have been clamoring for the measure day and night for a year, and who can at present see no in dication that anything is being done to pass it. The farmers cannot understand why it is that certain senators are supporting and giving the right of way to measures like the ship subsidy, that nobody appears anxious to have pass at this session, un less it is the few steamship companies in terested and the senators who are push ing it, while the Grout bill, with its hun dreds of thousands of farmers back of it, demanding its passage, and taking the time to circulate petitions praying for action upon it, is apparently slumbering without attracting any great amount of attention. But the farmers and others interested are mistaken when they take this view of the question, because there is a growing disposition upon the part of certain senators to take the bull by the horns and give the senate its choice be tween the subsidy bill and the oleomar garine bill—let it choose which one it will pass, because it is now a foregone conclusion that there is not time for the passage of both, and it is a. question as to whether the Grout bill, with its indorsement by more than a two-thirds vote in the house will become a law, or whether the ship subsidy bill, which has not yet passed the house, will continue to block all other legislation as unfinished business in the senate, until adjourn ment kills the Grout bill. It develops that the dairy industry, while apparently prosperous right now, is at a point where it is liable to get the blackest eye that it has ever had, or go forward with unprecedented develop ment. In speaking of the matter, Charles Y. Knight, secretary of the National Dairy union, who is probably in closer touch with the situation in this partic ular branch of agriculture than anybody else in the country, said to The Jour nal correspondent: There are few who really understand the full importance of the Grout bill to the dairy and butter interests of the United States. In the flrst place, or the past three years oleomargarine has gradually been increasing its hold upon the trade in this country through the system of fraud devised by the manufacturers and taught the retailers, until the production has doubled during the past thirty months. This increased production was aided through the fact that the low prices of butter during 1895-6-7, had discour aged dairying to such an extent that thous ands of farmers sold their cows for beef, and so cut down production of butter that prices went to the other extreme. This gave oleo margarine a eaance through making a bigger incentive to defraud, which the retailers were not slow to take advantage of, and also brought into life other oleomargarine fac tories, until to-day we have twice as many as we had a. year ago in this country. But the greatest danger lies in this fact: The wholesale butter dealers of the cities are the men who fcave always stood between the producer of butter and his market, and de fended pure butter agaiust oleomargarine. He has dooe tjvis because he could not sell oleomargarine without encouraging fraud and violating the laws of his state, the same as the oleomargarine dealer does. During the past few years, however, the business of this butter man has bten fear fully cut down through the illegal sale of oleomargarine as butter. In Chicago, for instance, there are few houses which have any butter trade any more from the city retailers. Their business is almost entirely gone. They could sell oleomargarine to the very same dealers they formerly gold butter. Now the question is, will they take up oleo margarine, and turn their influence to the support and defense of this traffic, and fight the butter producers, or will they continue to lose their business through the lack of enforcement of laws, which makes it a crime to defraud, but does not punish, and there fore gives the business to those who are willing to become criminals under the law, but escape punishment? I know this: I am as well acquainted amont; the wholesale butter men of the country as any other man in the United States. I know that some of the largest butter dealers are watching the Grout bill with a view to con tinuing butter or taking up oleomargarine, according to whether congress concludes to stand by butter or the fraudulent substitute. I know that one of the largest concerns, and the strongest financially, contemplates going into the manufacture of oleomargarine if the Grout bill fails. They say the oleomargarine makers are growing rich, the laws are not in terfering with them, and why, therefore, should not others take a hand? The proposi tion is reasonable, it must be conceded. On the other hand, if the Grout bill passes this concern contemplates an elaborate sys tem of creameries in one of the northwestern states. And in this connection qJ will say that there are many new dairy enterprises simply awaiting the outcome of the present contest in congress. All the supply nouses are watching it with a view to pushing out, and the separator concerns are ready to push the sale of their hand separators more vigor ously than ever, and wherever a hand separ ator is sold an educated dairyman is pro duced. When I was in Chicago last week I was approached by at least a dczen men prominent in dairying matters, who inquired minutely into the possibilities of the Grout bill being passed, everyone of whom had plans, for the launching of new dairy enter prises on a modern scale—and they were not contemplating trusts, either —a thing just as impossible in butter as it would be in air. Mr. Knight expresses the belief that nothing in the world can stop the final passage of the Grout bill. He believes that in the senate, when the facts and conditions are stated, as they have not been heretofore, there will be no dis position to filibuster, and he feels cer tain that it is only the matter of ob taining a vote on the proposition that i 3 necessary to its final passage. And this opinion is shared by practically every body who has given the matter any con siderable attention, including the repre sentatives of the oleomargarine-makers fhemselves. —\V. W. Jermane. THE GROVERS IN COURT Suit for Divorce on Statntary Ground* Started at Kenonha. Kenosha, Wis., Feb. 15. —Following the sensational service of a summons on Lu cius Grover in a divorce suit in this city comes th,e filing of the suit In the circuit court. Mrs. Eva Beachel Grover to-day filed a suit for absolute separation from her husband, Lucius H. Grover, the cus tody of her three children and alimony for herself and for the care of the chil dren.

Tta complaint in the case is most sen sational. It alleges adultery on the part of the husband and names Mrs. May But terson of Chicago as the co-respondent. •Court Commissioner McDowell has ordered Grover to pay his wife money for at torney fees and also one-half of his salary until, the case shall have been settled by the courts. \ It is not thought Grover will make any "effort to fight the case, as he was not represented in court by an attor ney but appeared in person. PURE BLOOD' Necessary to Life. Vinol Makes it. POOR BLOOD CAUSES ERUP TIONS AND WEAKNESS. Vinol Makes Pure, Rich, Red Blood. BECAUSE WE KNOWN THIS WE GUARANTEE ITS ACTION. . Impoverished blood is a sure sign of ! Internal disorders. We see every day too many people whose faces plainly j show that there is something radically j wrong. We want all of our fellow-citizens to I know of our splendid blood purifier and blood maker. We refer to Vinol. Vinol, as we have before stated, is a purely scientific preparation. Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that it contains in a highly concentraced state the active curative principles, taken from the livers of live cods —the same elements that formerly were found in cod-liver oil, and which made it famous. Vinol does not contain the grease or fat that characterized cod-liver oil and made it in many cases worthless. Vinol acts upon every one of the great vital organs, and by invigorat ing and giving them strength, enables them to properly perform their func tions. Vinol's effect on the stomach is mar velous. It tones up this, the greatest of the organs of the body, and enables it to obtain from the food which is taken into it the necessary elements to create flesh and muscle tissue, bone structure and pure, rich, red blood. We are in receipt of a letter from a Savation Army woman which reads as follows: • I took Vinol after a bad attack of grippe, and so mucja good did it do me that I persuaded my sister to take it. She was all tired out. Had no appe tite and her blood was very poor. It did her as much good as it did me."— Betsy Habebshaw, 718 River St., Fall River, Mass. Won't you please come in and see us ? We are always glad to extol the merits of Vinol. We will give you back your money if you don't find Vinol will do all we claim it will. Could any one do more for you? THE VOEGELi BROS.

Madison, Wis., Feb. 15. —A memorial to congress strongly protesting against the passage of the ship subsidy bill, now pend ing before the United States senate, was passed by the assembly to-day by a vote of 78 to 15 after a lively debate. Bills providing for the reorganization of the state tax commission, and providing new laws for the taxation of express, sleeping cars with equipment, freight lines and telegraph companies, were introduced in both houses by the committee on as sessment and collection of taxes. The tax commission bill enlarges the power of the commission along the lines recommended by Governor La Follette in his message.

BEASLEY LOSES HIS SUIT .1 ury Refuses Him Salve for Alleged Indignities. Special to The Journal. Helena, Mont., Feb. 15. —Ex-Representa- time W. W. Beasley's suit for $20,000 dam ages against six citizens of Big Timber for hanging him in effigy when he voted for W. A. Clark, democrat, for United States senator two years ago, resulted in a verdict for the defendants after the jury had deliberated two hours. Evidence was introduced by the defense of a conversa- tion between Beasley and another member of the legislature in which the latter said Clark had set aside $15,000 to buy re publican members of the legislature and Beasley expressed the opinion they had better take it. There was also evidence of Beasley's sudden acquisition of wealth in the shape of bills of large denominations. James Marshall, a commission merchant of Min neapolis, made a deposition and statement showing that Beasley and son owed him $2,187 which was paid after Jan. 28, 1898. Payment was made in currency compris ing two $1,000 bills. eßasley, in his testimony, claimed he voted for Clark because the republican caucus decided to do so, Senator S. Hob son, chairman of the caucus, having read a letter from Clark in which he promised if elected to -vote for a tariff on wool. Beasley claimed he had $6,000 in currency in his pocket when he went to the legis lature. SHEEP FOR IDAHO Frank R. Clouding' import* Eighteen Car* of Pure Bred Lincoln*. JVotf Xork Sun.
