When court adjourned the state was near!) ready to rtst its case. The adjourn ment was until .1 o'elotk this afternoon. The defense will hardly be able to intro dnce an) testlmoii). Twtlveor fifteen wit nesses wire examined. A" stated )ester dav thn examination of Drs. Se)s, Grant, Spaulding and Studebaker occupied most of the rorenoon. Dr. Spmlding was the ph) sician origin Uly called during Mrs. Kutt rotrs sickness. Dr. Se)s was called later. Drs. Grant and Studebaker make the post mortem examination. The general tenor of their testlmoii) was tint a premature birth had bcui can-nl b) violence and that there had been bad hemorrhage before birth. The defeiise.it is thought, will try to prove that the hciuorrhige was afttr birth and w as caused b) malpractice or careless ness w liit.li was the cause of death.

On this occasion Al knocked his wife dow n and fell over her and lteat Iter. Frank Iooker. living in the other pin of the house, and present at the time, sub stantiated this testlmoii). This witness claimed to hive received a note from E. S.

When asked to produce the letur she sild she hail laid it on the mantle and did not know what had become of It. Her hubsbaud whispered to his attorney, ami Wallace immediately asked If she could read and write. She slid she could, and w hen given a piece of ptper wrote several lines of whit she said was m the note m a very fair hand. She also tes tified as to Al s general 111 treatment of hi wife and his threatening her. Mrs. Snyder, prisoner's landlady, testified that once after the death the) were having a hilarious time, and site heard him tell Kate Kuttroff tint if she ever got drunk and gave him awi) as she had some times, he would put her where he put his wife. Mrs. Williams, who lived In part of the house when Mrs. Kuttroff died, said the very night the) moved tin re she heard a terrible racket on the other side of the par tition, and heard a fall, lleird him siy, "I'll kill vou," with an oith, and heard the children cr). "Papi. don't kill unniiiii " She further said Kuttroff and his wife were continual!) qinrreling. and she pud but little attention to it. She heard him call all manner of bad names. Samuel Crawford, Mrs KuttrofTs brother, was on the stand. He had had Kuttroff arrested, probabl) sev en months lief ore his wife tiled, and before the) moved to this city, for assaulting the deceased.

It is said top one of the finest hotel structures m the south ind to have all the modern improvements Mr. John W. ISookwalter has remained in the citv longer than he at nrt intended Hid has given the matter of remodeling the l.igonda house a great tle.il of personal at teiition. 'o architect has )tt been en i ployed, and of course no plans ) et prepared but Mr. ISookwalter a'ld his associates in the Champion Hotel Company know just what they want done. Postmister Jaiue Johnsou, Sr , will be the contractor for the work, and has been closeted with Mr. Book walterandMr. A. K. C!aypoolforuimyda)s past. The plan is to tear down all th n portion of the High street wing of the La gonda house I) ing between the west line ot he old iron front entrance on High street and the new building recently put upon the corner of Primrose alley. The part to te torn down has a frontogeof about sev in ty feet on High street. This is to be razeti to the foundation stones and rebuilt, tie novo. A commodious excavation will tirs be made for abasement Above this will rise a handsome four-story building, ot pressed brick, w lth plate-glass fronts ami stone trimming. Itnill contain four business rooms, eacli with a depth of slxt) feet and a front of alxiut fifteen feet, llesides these, the main entrance perhaps the only one. of the hotel proper will be located in the new addition. The plan contemplates some ver) radical changes in the arrangement of the hotel The prese.it office, on the Limestone street side, will be cornered Into oneor more bus mess rooms whose location, it may be added, parenthetically, will be second to none in the city. The new hotel oflice wil be located w here the open court Is now sit uated, in the rear of the main hotel build lug. and Hanked by the two wings Ttds court is to be built up solidly with a structure 3G feet in bight, constructed low from necessity so that it may not shut off the light from the dining room. This will contain, also, the bar-room and billiard room. The otllte is designed to be very handsome and will be lighted bv vaulted sk) -lights. The frescoes, tessllated floors, etc , will be of the best The barber shop will be located where the present bar room now is. The new High street vv ink will contain a large number of offices suita ble for attonie)s, etc., and about tliirt) hotel bed-rooms. The office of the hotel will be on a level with Limestone street, from which an entrance ma) jiossibl) b run to it. From High street the office will be on the second floor. The work will lie pushed through this season, and as a tiuan ciai investment will doubtless be a great go As a public improvement it Is a matter of universal interest DEATH OF MRS. SHEWALTER.
