There is no abatement of the interest in the trial of Dick Hawes for the murder of his little daughter May. vTbeprisoner shows more and more interest and feeling as witness after witness goes tipon the stand and repeats without vanationi the stories told .by the news- muKf m nH nmR nr rnn rnvanv mrtrt I A.At.5..-., ml wmcn iea 10 ine universal oeuet in 1 r a. ... e 1 a. m a' tiawse's guilt, ine cross examma tions, so far, have not , shaken any ; 01 tne testimony, thougn the counsels ; tor tne 7 deience are contesting every inch of the ground and consuming much, time over erery fine point;: The leading counsel for nawes is Lei speaker of the Taliaferro,' formerly Tennessee House of ttepresentauues. The Associate coun- set are Col. Mcintosh, formerly of Meridian, Miss., and Frank Barnett. Solicitor Hawkins is assisted by Judge Demson and Solicitor Charles' Fergu- son, of the Circuit Court. The case is on trial in the criminal court, pre sided over by Judge Greene. . ? The theory of the prosecution is that- Hawes murdered . Mayli on Monday evening by smothering her, and after wards tossed the body into the lake, where it was found next morning. The defence is making an effort to snow that death was caused by drowning. and that the body must: have been in the water several days before it could have risen. The first witness called this morning was Leslie, the under taker who embalmed the body, and who testified yesterday that he had punctured the stomach in embalming, but no water, and little gas had es caped. ! Coronor Babbitt was re-called and testified to having noticed an abrasion on the nose and cheek when the body was first discovered. Julia Campbell knew Hawes1 family, i The question as to whether she was at Lake view when Mrs. Hawes' body was found was objected to by Col. Taliaferro. The jury wa3 sent out while the ques tion admissability was argued. The defense insisted that the murder of Mrs. Hawes, if she was murdered, had nothing to do with the case, and the prosecution contended that the previ ous murder of Mrs. Hawes. and fact that May .knew of it was compe tent as showing the motive for the murder of May. Judge Greene ruled it incompetent, though he said he might admit it ! later on it its rele vancy should appear, Sarah Lett, colored, was at Hawes1 Monday even ing before May's body was found next a day: ,Hawas, May and Fannie Bryant, were there. Hawes told May to tell Fannie good bye and come with him. He told Jennie he would be back with her next day. He then took May by the hand and they went away. She then identified the hat foundypn the dead cirl as the one May had bn that evening. On cross-examination as to whether she knew Hawes, she said that she had seen him two or three times. She identified him positively where he sat among his attorneys, ft was dark before Hawes and May had gone away together on that Monday evening. The court here took a recess. - The first witness after recess was Elijah Gordon. He lived near Fannie Bryant's' house at the time of the Hawes tragedy. Ua Monday evening late (the night before the body j was found) he saw May and Hawes at Fanny's house. Shortly after 7 o'clock he saw Dick Hawes come ; into Fanny's to get little May and take her awav. eroing Ott toward ine aummy mm . a -1 - At l - 3 - line. Hawes toJd May to tell Fanny cood bve. which the child did, and Fanny told May she must be a good girl. On the cross examination he was positive it was not a out a ntue after 7 o'clock. He was uncertain aboutHawes clothing. R. M. Brown,conductor on the Lake Yiew Dummy Line, said one night shortly before he heard of the finding of the body a. gentleman and little girl got on his dummy at Lake View and rode into town with the little girl and held her close to the stove. The man's tenderness attracted his attention. He thought defendant was a sane man; thought this was on Saturday but was not positive. He had run on a train Friday, Sat urday. Sunday and Monday nights. Lake View was a- square or two from Hawes' house.

He went and viewed the body next day and his opinion was, that ir was that of the little girl he had seen in the dummy. He picked out the defendant and hnn'trrrt h n was the same man It was half past six o'cloclr, at conclusion of Lawler's testimony J nror Dan lap was taken sick and the court adjourned till to morrow.
