Phllndfljdiln.Ost. taking of testimony In the Holmes murder trial wax begun thlx morning at 10 o'clock, and with the exception of brief laitermlrtxlonx nt lunch nnd xup-per time, wa continued until nearly 9 o'clock to-night. It had been the intention of the court to sit until 10, but th8 ahoence of a wltneag hindered thlx, nnd adjournment wax taken. Uoliue made a plea thlx evening, asking the court to hold but two sett-Klons a day. In plaintive tones he wild that lib physical condition was such that ha Jilt unuble to continue thi xamlnatlon of the sides he wn subject to hick luadachex.

During the supper rt-ces which followed this incident, Holmes privately ald that the pre-(inratlon of hlx case in his cell last night had kept him up till 4 o'clock in the morning, and then he was roused from bed two hours later. In ndditlon to thlx he had not eaten anything 'from last night until one o'clock this nfternoon. It wa after making thi statement that he sent for hlx counsel. Up to that time there had been a general impression that human nature could not atnnd the terrible ordeal which he had set tor hlnmelf nnd that If he fertxted In going on with bis own case, thera would b3 a break down before long. All day a he at In the dock the eye of the man he lx charged with murdering gazed at him from a large crayon portrult plnc-cd upright on the district attorney's desk In full view of the entire court.

Next to this wn tux equally inrge slied picture of the daughter, Alice, hoBJ death Is nlxo lull on hi shoulders. Hut Holmes did not seem to be affected. Hi stolid mcanor never dexorteil him for an Instant. At 10 o'clock the Jury came into the room.nnd Judge Arnold appearing a moimnt later, court was formally opined. Meantime Holmes, in custody of a court off.cer was placed in the dock.

He showed no change of personal appearance or demeanor from yesterday. Jenunette Pcltiel wn the first witness called to identify several lurge crayons of her father.

During the reces District Attorney Oraham ald If the cae coatlnued to drag along a It ho thus far, it would beat the record of the Durrant case for consuming time. The commonwealth has 5-1 or C3 witnesses to examine, nnd nolsxly seems to know what sensation Holmes will spring when It comes to the opening of the defence. However, the district-attorney does not Intend to unduly hurry theenxe.nlthough he hopes the night sessions 111 obviate the possibility of the case extending over more than two weeks or therealiout. The court re-convened nt 2:30 o'clock, hud Dr.

Scott was turned over to Holme for cross-exnmlnntlon. Holmes Hiibjected Dr. Scott to a lengthy nnd detailed examination touching the effects of chloroform, but ol-tulned few answers thnt would tend to throw tho balance In the slightest degree In hi favor. Witness was regarded by the commonwealth officer ns one of their medical experts, nnd he wn positive and incontradictory In everything he said. Holmes kept up 11 stonily fire ot questions, nnd never obliged to pause for a word or thought.

The taking of the testimony was nliout to ba resumed, when Holmes, who probably be more appropriately called the arch-octor than Anything else, brought out a new piece of by-plny. He arose In the dock, and, addressing the court, said: "If your honor please, I have a re-ouct to make.

In consequence of the severe strain to which I have been subjected, and nlso because of the criticism levelled against my former counsel, Messrs. Shoemaker and Kotan, I have within the past Jiour sent for them and asked them to ngaln assume charge of my defence. I should like to ask it the court will permit this "Let them come In," wild the Judge. A moment later the two counsellors, looklug pale and worried, entered the court room, and Mr. Kotan, going up to the bar, was nbout to enter upon a lengthy explanation, when Judge Arnold curtly interrupted with, "No apology Is necessary.

Go on with the cnxe." The dock, with its occupant, was then moved liack to Its former place, and Holmes' counsel took scats at the desk.
