The court room was packed "yesterday to hear the evidence of the witnesses and the addresses to the jiiry by the learned counsel interested. Lamu was in court all day but his sisters were absent from the court room. His countenance still bespeaks a feint hope though his general appearance remains of the de pressed order. Court met promptly t 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning and the first wit ness introduced was Louise Massey, one of the inmates of the house who was in the room at the time" of the killing. She corroborated Fowler as to locations in the, room and as to the flask of whiskey, the contents of which Alice Owens poured into the slop jar. She saw no pistol in the hands of any one. Witness ran for the doctor. Prior to the shooting everybody was appar ently in the best of humor. She had known LambM'orifour .of: five years; Lamb had been acquainted with Alice Owens five or six years; Alice Owens went to Richmond- for a year and' a half but witness did not know whether Lamb was there or not. On the morn ing before the shooting at night Lamb came to the house of Sadie Garrett about 9 o'cloclc at breakfast and tried to get Alice- to go in the;woods with him to practice -target shooting. '. She refused because she. said she did not feel-Hke it. Lamb told her she w ould have to go, and she. replied that she was a little bit bigger than Lamb and If "she went, he would have to carry her. Witnes left the house at 5:30 o'clock- itoat evening and Lamb lay down across the bed and went to sleep. He was not there when witness re turned with Sadie Garrett about 8 o'clocK. ' The cross-examination was by Mars- den Bellamy, Esq., and the opening ef fort was to fasten an intimate ac quaintance of Fowler with the half- world of the city. She had known Fowler only six or seven months, prior to the killing. The night of the homi cide Fowler remained at the house un til 3 or 4 o'clock. She had Sadie Gar rett keDt the house together. She was questioned closely e,bout any con versations she had had with Fowler since the tragedy. Witness admitted that Fowler had been to the house several times since August. Sadie Garrett was the second wit ness. She did not go into the room the night of the tragedy until after the killing. At the time she was rolling a cigarette. She ran. Immediately to the room andL opening the door, Louise Massey said om Lamb had shot Alice. The room' was dark. She strucK match and picked up the pistol with one hand, lighting, the lamp with , the other. Fowler had Lamb by the wrists Kill me, later on their way to the house. Lamb was drnnk" and Fowler-appeared to be holding him up as' they went, up--tne street. Officers W; J. Howaro, jonn r; Sneeden'and Police Sergeant ,C, S. Burnett testified to about the same effect. Sheriff Stedman, Jailor Ed. Capps and Office- Deputy Jas. H. Tay lor, Jr., were introduced to identify the pistol as the one taken; irom me house.

He was very clear in his address and was iistenea to with striet attention as the line of defence has all along been a subject of speculation.- Mr. Bellamy was fol lowed by Col. A.

These were either that Lamb did not do the shooting and if he did it .was without malice. Solicitor Rodolph Jmffy, addressed the jury last before adjournment for I the day.
