The first phase of the testimony will be to prove that the Times building waa destroyed by some outer cause, and the second that the agent was a high explosive. The proof that jnen lost their lives there will lay the foundation for mur der chargee, and then e-rldence of the conspiracy and the connection of the anion leaders will bo Introduced.
