M'GITEE, #Bpecial Ditpalch (o The Tridune. ¥, Dixox, Iil, June 0i—=When McGhee's un- happy daughter, Jannle Morrls, broke down In her testimony that the medicine given by tho doctor himsell madoe her mother worse, and that the powder given by him Mrs, McGheosald was Ditter, the backbone of McGhee's case, It any he had, was broken. Jonnle's atatement, when recalled for cross-oxamination, that she so testifled becausa her father looked dagpgers nt hor while on the witness-staud, did not make the matter worse for McGhee. Nothing could mnke that matter worse for him. When Me- Ghee, In s own testlmony, lugged In the stotemont that Jennle, during hor mother's lost fllncss, sald, *If ma's golng to dic, alic had better be about it,* this renowal on his part to criminato that wretched daughter of his, in order to save himaelf, provoked contempt and fndignation, which natarally will find its way to the minds of the jury, When Rilia Paddock took the stand with her pretty face, sweet volce, and harmless Ilttle coquetries of manner, aud only swore that the Eldor never, never kissed her, the interesting featurcs of the case woro cxhausted. Nothing was loft but Iag-onds ol testimony, with & pros- peet of being followed by n verdict of gulity, without sentence of death, Such secms tho case now.

It was aratherintelligent, norvous face, thin, apgular, and faded, and betrayed weakness and suffering. Whatover waa design- cd by it, the introduction of the picture proved anything but tho introduction of a thrilling ef- feet fnto the case. B lue-lights In the full glare of noondaysun couldn't have been further ro- moved from the thrilling. On cross-examination McGheo testified: I gavo my wifs medicine the Sunday beforo she died.
