Last night's sessiou of tho Hiitch trial did not conclude until nearly midnight. During the early part of the evening several witnesses were called who testified testi-fied to having seen C. W.

The shock of the fall might cause the blood to ooze from the car, in case the dreini of membranee was defective, |
