RAILROAD CASE STILL OCCUPYING THE COURT.

Plaintiff Closed Case and Defendants ' Hope to Conclnde Their Evidence „ by Tonight The suit of Bayard Taylor, railroad promotor, vs. Warren T. McCray, Carroll C. Kent and the C. I. & S. railroad has taken all week to try and the plaintiff did not finish his case until Thursday afternoon. The counsel for the plaintff did not leave a stone unturned in an effort to prove that his client had done an important work in locating a railroad, the general course oi which the Indiana Harbor road followed and it was also sought to prove that Messrs. McCray and Kent were closely allied with the various transfers of the original paper road to the real road eventually built. The crossexamination showed considerable bitterness, which has been prominent throughout the trial. Two witnesses for the defense were examined Thursday afternoon and it is expected to have all the evidence in by tonight. Th case will probably be argued Saturday.

It was expected in the first plaee that the trial would only take two days and that was all the time allowed on the docket. As this is the last day of the term, however, the calendar has been considerably disarranged and several cases will have to carry over until the next term. The Z. A. Cox vs. Lida G. Monnett. case was to have been heard in the east court room with A. Halleck as special judge, but no court reporter could be procured and unless the case is tried at an adjourned term, it will have to go over until the September term of the court.
