Euzamth Cm, March 18. There was a dense orowd when court first opened .today. The prisoner and his sisters were in their seats promptly. The Misses Cropsey did not appear un til late. Then the court ordered seats vacated and they sat behind the prose cuting lawyers. Attorney Cropsey of New York eat near them and took notes.
