Wells, jr., made the open! ent to the jury after an hour’s recess been taken. He reviewed the testimony, and claimed that a capital offense had been made out against both men. Mr. A. A. Lipscomb followed on behalf of Peyton in a short speech, in which he complained of the “indecent haste” of the presecution to bringing the case to trial. At the close of his address the court decided to adjourn in preference to moving into the other court room, as would have been necessary, as_no lights are provided in the Criminal Court room. The jury were taken to the National hotel. On reaching this Piace one of the jurors, Mr. Bliss was taken juite sick. * This morning Messrs.

Christ's worst opponents have never dared tosay that, he lived for himself. He never acknowledg- ed the existence of a self in his nature.
