As noted in our report yesterday afternoon, a number of witnesses were sworn, the first to testify being Esquire Wm. M. Lee, of Holliday’s Cove, a brief synopsis of whose evidence we published in last evening Review.

The examination of Esquire Lee was conducted by Hon. John A. Hutchinson, of Parkersburg. His evidence was considered of material importance, as the inquest over the dead bodies of Mrs. McWha and Mrs. Baker were conducted before him. In the course of his examination, a brief outline of which were given in the last evening’s Review, he said the night caps as placed upon the heads of the murdered women extended down and around the wounds in the murdered women’s heads; there were no rents or cuts in the caps; the body of Mrs. Baker extended across the breast of her mother, her right arm nearest her; the windows of the kitchen were covered with various things to exclude the light; there were two windows; one had a small calico curtain over it, supplemented by a shawl and a newspaper; over the other window a shawl was tacked across the top, and below were newspapers and some other articles, so as to exclude the light and view from without; on the kitchen floor, two or three feet from the hall door were two spots of blood, one of them well dried up; they bore the imprint of the head and shoulders of a person; the blood and water had run under the stove on the zinc; in the larger spot of blood were found the teeth of a comb; there was a bed in the sitting room where the bodies lay; the bolster and pillows on the bed had been disturbed; the bodies lay about eighteen inches from the bed; there was no mark of blood on the bolster or walls nearest it; the floor was saturated with blood; when witness entered both blinds were down in the sitting room; blood marks were on the right hand window; they extended to the lower pane of the upper sash; the bureau and two or three drawers open; some articles had been taken out and were on the floor; found a gold ring in a box on the floor; in the drawers found a gold watch a chain and two or three finger rings, and two sets of gold earrings; found three pocket books empty, except some return railroad tickets; in the cupboard found two night caps, and a pile of night caps on the floor; the cook stove in the kitchen was covered up; I looked in the stove and found a roll of papers partially burned; the foot of the bed was tossed up; a truck (sic) was near the chimney, and some insurance papers were lying on the floor; there was some clothing on the trunk, and some underclothing on the bed; some ladies shoes on the bed bore marks of blood; this is all I found in the room; witness had summoned a jury and held an inquest; Baker had married Mrs. Baker two years before the murder; Mrs. McWha had real estate to the value of $3,000 or $4,000, and some bonds; Baker had been in the west, but had been at home about two months.

The next witness was O. S. Marshall, clerk of the county court. The will of Mrs. Drusilla McWha was produced and read after some controversy. She had bequeathed her whole estate to Mrs. Baker, except $1,000, which was to go to Robbin M. Lee.

When court convened this morning, Esquire W. M. Lee was recalled, without anything new being developed, as was also O. S. Marshall, Clerk of Court.

Surveyor Patterson again showed the plans drawn of the premises.

Mrs. McCloud, who had lived with Mrs. McWha, testified in regard to the clothing that had been worn by the murdered women. She had heard Baker say the Mrs. McWha and Mrs. Baker had made wills and had left him nothing.

Mr. Brown, of Holliday’s Cove, was the next witness. He had drawn up the will of Mrs. Baker, which will has not been found since the murder.

The question was here raised as to the admission of Mr. Brown’s testimony regarding his recollections of the provisions of the will. Pending decision of which court took a noon recess.
