By Mr. Moojte—When he told me that be had given

pet a hat bead on it. He did eat mooned and ga.e it up.
Ido not know that he via in amusing. He did not teU

Mrs. Elizabeth Sarah Iterecb, wife of the last witness,
wee next examined. She said-1 know Muller. I saw him
at oar home on Saturday, 9th of July. He came in about
1 o'clock, and sat himself down to work. I wait out be-
tween 7 and 8 o'clock, rhea he we. still them with
Hafla. I next mw him on the Monday morning.
I heard the conversation about the chain, and saw him take
it out of his weakest pocket. He told me Ise bad bought
it of a man at the docks that morning. I bad it is my hand,
and examined it. The *Main produced woe the same. He
said he bad give. 3/. ISt for the chain and he showed me
• plain ring with a white stone. which he said be bad
bought at the same time for 71. 6d. He said be had
been to the docks to buy his passage ticket,
and had met the German, I understood him to
say In the docks, as he was going to the ship. I never saw
him with that chain before. When he had shown it to me
I said, " It may be dangerous for you to wear the chain
loose. you might lose it " and I lest him • locket, which be
attached to it, axed put the chain through his button hole.
He returned the locket on the Monday morning. On the
Satarday, what became, be wore dark Smears, and when
he same oa the Monday he wore light trousers.
otherwise he wee dressed the same. I noticed that
he had • new hat oe ea the Monday morning. I observed
it lest and raid "Oh, how extravagant you are to have
another new hat." He replied " I smashed the other one,
and threw it in the dust hole. sad I Lave had this about
a mouth." He told me be had paid 14e. 6d. for it. My husband
said it more like aguiosa hat than one at 14.6 d.
He came on the Tuesday, Wedseaday, and Thursday to our
home to work, bet he did very little work. 1 was pre-
sent on the Wednesday wheel he said be wanted 12s. He
said be was ISt abort, and asked my husband to bay the
ticket of the chain I had seat. My hothead told him he
eould set, and they left together to go to Mr. Haifa. I saw
my bethand give the 12• for the snit he had
pawned to Haifa. I saw Haifa give is to
Muller, and Muller gave the ticket of the chain to Maffei.
I saw Muller try to pat oo the black band to the bat oa the
Weiner:lay. He did not say why he wished to put it 00.
It was a black cloth band. When he found he could not get
it oo he threw it on ow side, and it WSJ left at my house.
The reason he could not get it on was that it was
not the right side. 'did not refer to the murder of Mr. Briggs
is his presence. He came between nine and ten ea Thursday,
and my husband went out with him at ten o'clock. 1 have
not seen him since,

Mr. Atkinson, • master mariner, of 2. Lanra4erraos,
Campbsll•road, Bow, having been sworn, deposed
I have given up the sea since November last ; but being
out of health I went oat in the Victoria as pilot, thinking
it would benefit me. I joined her in the Loudon Docks on
Friday morning. the 15th July. We left the pier heed at •
quarter before Bin the morning. We had between 20 and
30 passengers on board. I went as far as the light ship of
Bognor io her. I left her off Bognor at 2 o'clock
on the Saturday afternoon. I did not know Muller,
but • passenger came to me on the Friday afternoon,
between 3 and 4 o'clock, and melted me if I would take a
letter on shore. I refused to do so, telling hint that nest
day would be in time for all passengers' letters. He was a
foreigner. I thought by the way be spoke that be
was • Germ.s. I received a lot of letters on the Saturday
to take o• shore from the passengers, but I cannot for
certain my that the foreigner gave me one. I received 213
letters altogether, and the passengers all came to me with
them together ss I was about leaving. I imagime he
came with the net, hut I am not certain. I cannot
identify the photograph portrait produced as that
of the foreigner who asked me to take the
letter on shore. I posted all the letters but nee.
The letters I put stamps upon I marked with • private
mark. I did not notiee the addressee. If I had done mend
had seen one addressed to Bow, it would have struck my
attention. . .

The Coroner here observed that the only other wit-
nevem whom at present it was thought necessary to
examine were absent from England. and it would be some
time before they could be back : rt would be better to d-
imwit for three weeks.
It wee stated that Mr. Briggs's chaio had been taken out
to New York as a necessary hub in the °silence which
would require to be given there.
The iagniry was then further adjourned to Thursday,
September 8, at 10 o'clock.
