Both were neatly dressed and sufficiently intelligent to wake the trial interesting. Morgan is about 55 vears old, and his gray hairs should admonisn him to turn his back apon the vanities of the world. He isaman above the average size, with aheavy torehead, jutting brows clear gray eyes, which are rather small@ind an aquiline nose unusually large-having a curvature which a hawk might envy. The chuckle in which he frequently indulged during the tral would make a tortune it wansterred to the stage. Mrs. Phillips is a little yitha tongue. Her flow guage” is’ excellent.
