The case was opened to the Jury by Mr.. Nelson,
District Attorney, and the little girl placed
on the stand. Upon being asked if she knew the ma
ture of oath, she said no-she said she was nine
years of age, and could read, and that if she told
lie she would be put in bad place. BY bad place
she said she meant the State prison. and upon beng
asked what she thought would become of her IT she
should die, she did not give answer. She thought
that the bible said that any who told lie should
go 10 State prison. Numerous other questions were
put, to which she made reply but finally said that
bad people went to hell
she was finally sworn and said that she lived with
her faher in the town OF Yonkers. She recognised
the black rascal who sat the prisoners BENCH and
