stern told that fiteinfeldt accused her of having taken
improper liberties with him, and she wished him to explain
that there warn nothing improper, and that she had merely
steeped down to kiss his hands. He considered it was very
rode in Mr. Wehassle& to have opened the door in the
way he did, and he wrote • letter to him upon the subject,
and he said that he was satisfied. Witness did not uk him
after this to destroy the letterhe hadwritten to him. When
the house wee taken in Ecclarton-terrace, the arrangement
was that Mrs. Weltzenstein should carry on the business
of a milliner on the ground floor, and Mr.
Steinfeldt was to occupy the upper part of the
house with hie wife as a lodger. When the house Ma/
taken, he described Mrs. Weltzenstein and Bteinfeldt as
responsible persons, and that the latter was an Austrian
baron, and a man of large property. The whole of the
money he gave to the defendants, with the exception of one
cheeqque, was given in gold. He used to meet the parties in
Eaekaton-terrace, and after they had lived there • short
time he heard that the Weltzensteins were man and wife,
but be did not believe it, until Mrs. Weltzenstein told hill;
it was the fact. Witness visited Mrs. Weltzenstein at •
lodging she occupied in Lialeetreet, and while her husband
was abroad, but he swore that he did not kin her upon any
occasion when he visited her at that place. There warn a
sofa in the room, but he never at upon it. (A laugh.) He
had not heard that His. Welleenetein was really the
daughter of an Austrian field-reanhal, and had not token
any trouble to ascertain the fact.
In answer to questions put by Mr. Serjeant Parry, the
tor said that he never saw the defendant Madame
prosecutor
u n
after the month of July, 1858, until the trial in
the Court of Queen's Bench. He did not visit Madame
Weltzenztein every evening at the house in Eceleston-ter-
rape, and remain with her for an hour or two. Mr. Welt-
sustain went to America in October, 1858, and during his
anew" he did not visit his wife more than two or three
time' altogether. He gave her on the whole, in different
sums, about 2001. Would swear that the defendant,
Madame Jourdan, did not reproach him for sending such •
letter as the one produced by her to Madame Weltzenstein,
and turn him out of her shop, and accuse him of making
her a go-between with Madame Weltzenstein. (A
young woman sitting in the body of the court was here
directed to stand up, and the prosecutor was asked
whether she was not in the shop at the time
the occurrence took place, and he declared that
there was no foundation for the statement). He never wrote
but one letter to Madame Weltasseelein, and this was a
letter giving her advice daring the absence of her husband.
Upon one occasion he saw MadameJonrdan in her bedroom.
There had been • fire in their house, and he understood that
she had been burned, and he eras told to go and see her in
her bedroom. She did not order him out, bat on the con-
trary she was very glad to see him. (A laugh.)
Re-examined—Witness would swear positively that he
had never had any improper connexion with the defendant
Eliza Weltzenstein, and he considered her a virtuous and ,
respectable woman until she came forward to give evidence
at the trial in the Queen's Bench. No such suggestion was
made against him, except in reference to the pretended as-
, 'Ault, at the former trial. Witness gave more than the value
1 of every article he took out of pawn to the defendants.
Witness's wife was aware of the position of the defendant,
Eliza Weltzensteln, and she sent her the partridge as •
delicacy, knowing that she was ill. After the defendant
Jourdan was committed for trial and admitted to bail, he
saw her walking with the girl who had that day appeared
in court, backwards and forwards in front of his house,
but he bad never seen her on any other occasion.
One or two other witnesses were then examined, and the
case was adjourned.
