The Plummer murder trial is going on at Fowder this week and but little interest- is being manifested in the same. The defense will attempt to prove insanity and will probably be successful. Plummer is undoubt edly not of a sound mind at the persent time, no matter wind the condition of his mind was at the time of the murder. He takes no interest in the examina tion of witnesses and sits with immovable features all day long. Brown and Darroch are prose cuting the case and Hammond and Saunderson are defending it. Owing to the large number* £ witnesses being examined th • case will not be apt to go to th • jury before the last of the week-. The evidence brought forth the trial Wednesday was near 1 the same as has already bc< i published in this paper. The bid let and revolver which did th ■ killing was introduced as ev den ce and the billy with whir -’ Dorn beat Plummer over t.’.c head. Plummers confession, i > made to the editor of this pape was also introduced in evidence and will probably have considc able bearing bn the case.
