Witnesses Recite the Details the Murder of Agnes Poire is of Flandreau, June 9.—"Were these two exhibits written by your sister, Agnes PolreisY" Elizabeth Polreis sat long on the witness stand, laboronsly rending two rather long letters. As she went over one page after another, not a sound could be heard in the court room. Attorney AikeiiB foi the de» feuse stood in front of her, twirling bis spectacles in nis hands and watch ing ner intently. Presently she turned up her plain face, looked into Attorney Aikens face with ber slow eyes and said in a deep voice heavy with accent, "No,I think not. They use words my sister never did." On the answer of this might have bang the verdict in thin case. The letters Attorney Aik ens handed to Elizabeth Polreis for identification were in Herman and pur ported to tell the parents of Agnes Pol reis that she had found in Mrs. Kauf rnann a second mother, that she was good to her and took her out riding every day. This was easily the feature of the B^ond day of the trial of Mrs. Kanf inann, for these letters were not. men tioned in the other bearing of the case. Attorney Aikens first handed to the witness a letter written in January from Parkston by Agues Polreis to a girl in Austria. This the witness quickly declared was in her sister's handwriting While the penmanship of the otner letters was similar, she pronounced them not the compositions of ber sister, because they ased too pretentions language. Vesterday two nnrses who cared for Agnes Polreis. at the Sioux Falls hos pital told of the wounds or cuts or marks, a neighbor of the Kanfmann's told how Mrs. Kaufmann had ex plained to her screams in the Kauf mann home and how she saw Agnes Polreis stagger out of the back poicb of the Kaufmann hoase with a pail of slop the week she died, so weak she had to pull herself back up on the porch Elizabeth Polreis, sistei of the deceased, declared Agnes had always been strong and healthy until she went to the Kaufmann's and Dr. H. B. Sco field of Parkston described what he found in two post mortem examina tions of the girl's body and in an ex animation cf the brain at Flandreau two years ago. Responding directly to the question of what caused the death of Agnes Pol reis. Dr. Scofield said the blood clot ou the brain. Asked what cansed the blood clot, he said axternal violence. In cross examination he admitted blood clots on the brain such as thi# one could be caused either by diabetes, mellitus, anemia or hardening of the arteries. It will be the claim of tin defem-e that the girl died of anemia, with diabetes and gangrene as contri buting causes. in cutting tbrongh the skull Dr.! Schofield first penetrated toe perios teum, or membrane covering the skull, then the skull, then ihe dure mater ot outer covering of the brains and unde® that membrane found the clot, tw» and two and half inches and startiup beneath the wounds on tbe hide of the head. In cross examination. •Miss Thorn berg, a nurse, having stat that tlier* were open sores on the girl's abdo men Attorney Aikens asktd if she was certain about it. ''Well, I did not kaow how to baudsge ber, she wat ao sora all over." answered tbe wit* nets. A flutter ran over the court room. It was only a flutter, but enonuh to •how til1 hearers knew ihat Mrs, Kanfmann's attorney had obtained as answer far from his liking. "I move that tbe answer be strick en oat," laid Attorney Aikena. 'Further. I would like to protert .- 2 v 4t ,P & 'lisiar V v" & i .aiDst any demonstration in tbe court while this or aoy other witness testifying." The court ordered that the. answer e cut out of he record.

But about a week he was attacked bv a complica tion of stomach tioubles.bat nothing was tbonght of them. Monday night tiis condition was seen to be becoming ni'Te seiious, and at one o'clock the ue.tt morning he died.

The body nas been shipped to Huron for burial. Speaking of the pardon. Governor Vessey made the statement yesterday afternoon that the pardon should have reached here a day or two before it did, but'for some unforeseen delay in being taken before Judge Rice.
