Slender, erect, and more youthful than his pictures make him appear, and with an added delicacy given Ida natur nlly clear cut and refined face by his long conilncment in prison Holmes arose to his feet and addressed the court. His voice was weak and Quiv ering like that of a man who has been ill and hardly carried the short dis tance that separated him from the court. He announced that he would not accept the lawyers appointed by the court, and that he would conduct his own defense. A hum of astonish ment went around the court room, but alone, and without a friend by his side, the Iron nerve that has enabled this man to leave behind him a trial of death without a show of compunction or re morse bore him up under tho trying ordeal of the desertion of his counsel. Holmes exercised his right of chal lenge, and before the jury was ob tained eighteen men had been set aside by him. When court reconvened this afternoon Holmes Fat In the dock bus ily engaged taUng notes during his terrible arraignment by the district at torney in his opening argument. An occasional Hush thnt suffused his cheek, and once In a while a blight lifting of the eye brows when the dis trict attorney became particularly earnest, were tho only marks of emotion exhibited by Holmes. When the dis trict attorney had concluded his ar gument Holmes requested thnt he be nllowed light and writing materials In his cell in the county prison. This was granted him, and then Holmes asked to be allowed to see his wife. A sharp Interchange of dialogue oc curred between the prisoner and the district attoreny as to which wife he wanted to see. and Anally Holmes was driven to sny thnt it was the last wo man who had been deceived Into marrying him. This womnn has refuse-1 to see Holmes, but he obtained a promise from the court that a letter should lie given her tonight and thnt, If she would comnly an answer to It, should be sent to htm from her. Here court adjourned until tomorrow morn ing. After the ad'ournmcnt of court, Judge Arnold stated that he would not press the ense for disbarment against Messrs. Shoemaker and Rotan, In view of the fact that Holmes had refused counsel and would conduct his own case. PAY FOR A HROIvKN HEART. Widow, Aged 50, Awarded $25 In a Suit Afjnlnst a Trlfler of 70. Maseoutnh, III., Oct. 28. Twenty-five dollars Is the price a Jury iit upon the broken heart of Mrs. Barbara Kast ner, a widow of B0 years, who sued riark Selbert, ased 70 years, for breach of promise. She assessed her wounder affections nt the modest sum of $5,000, but the Jury, after wrestling with the evidence all night, concluded that $25 was sufiicient balm. The evidence showed that for a time Mr. Selbert made violent love to the widow, and promised to marry her. Matters moved along smoothly enough until a hand some widow from Lebanon appeared upon the scene and laid selge to the affections of Slebert. With the Inconslstancy of his sex, he deserted tho old love for the new, and Mrs. Kastner, realizing thnt. her chances were diminishing with ad vancing years, dragged the faithless but frisky old man Into court to an swer for his course. The stories of the courtship kept the spectators In an uproar during the entire trial. RESULTS OF HAZING. A Girl Student lulls Unconscious in Her Terror, liOgansiponit, lad., Oct. 2$.

The mes sages going abroad from the local and visiting sports to their friends vary somewhat from Saturday night, when they read: "Come on and take chances on fight, or fizzle." Today they are worded: "On a trip from Hot Springs from the inside sufficient notice of time and place of fight will be given to enable people as far distant as New York to be present." There Is considerable apprehension that Fltzslmmons may be arrested be fore reaching this county on the charge of coming into the state for unlawful purposes, and the mysterious attitude of the governor's scouts here who say that his excellency knows Just what to do end when and how to do it, does not tend toward allaying this feeling. Among the arrlvnls last night were a number of well-known sporting men from Virginia. Alabama and Texas, but the eastern, middle and western states fraternity are fighting shy of their trip In the. absence of advices absolutely definite. New York,' Oct. 28. Joint 'L.
