the evening before. The walls of Colts room
have been scrubbed and believe also the sur

had made partial arrangements to occupy Colts
roe,nl as sleeping room after Colt should have
left; | believe | told Colt Of this not sure
tina, ! mentioned Mr.. Dcncecs name. Mr.. d.
had sad with me- two or three nights because
Colt did not Leave his room. Think told Colt OF
this in order to induce him 10 leave it, Mr.. Del
nccc had comforter and slept upon the chairs in
nly room; suppose he would haze staid on that
nigL; if had not asked him. though did do 50;

day or Sunday night; cannot speak with certainty
OF tho dimensions of the box Il did not ask Mr..
=g)cnocc to 20 and ask the officer why he did not
come; was considerably aciated after looking
through the key hole; think Mr.. Scigncte did not
tool, through the key hole. The pieces Of look
lng-glass were brought in and identified BY the
witness There WAS Il sill under the folding
door; when slid through into my room they were
under the desk. discovered them some days
after.
Bga Juror-Mr. Johnson occupied the room
ncx1to Colt. These were separated by
partition of lath and plaster Do Mt know Mr..

The window; the same now exhibited in Court 1t
was suspended from the centre OF the window
Oarconversation, while outside, think was quite
low. In going through the entry | went with the
usual tread, as think. though [ twice
walked lightly. spoke low, so that the in
side might not hear. The person whom | saw, ]
should think, tnll man Ithnk his vest was
white the pantaloons black could not tell whether
he had on boots or shocs The two hats on the table
wcr', within icw inches Of each other. The table
has leaves; NJ, cover. I picked up the glass from
my side; there fifteen twenty small#picces;
ends Of the larger pieces ust stuck through
did no, see these till the day of Colts arrest. The
clashinc noise | heard remained mystery to me
ua,il | saw the glass itsounded as the .nglin OF
glass might; it was but single clash. recol
lect nothing like the stamping of foot though
have a. faint recollection of something like it, pre-
,ious to the=cashing sound. There, was nothing
like the upsctting of chair; have seldom heard
voices in Colt room; except persons were talking
and laughing very loudly; think could not gencr-
ally hear the voice of any in excited convcrsa-
lioa. Mr.. Ockand occupies the Northwest corner
ei the building in the upper story.
By NJ. ,Stlaen-The sun shines into my room
aud for part Of the afternoon into MIR. Colts =
think that a that time itwould have done at
about2 clock. During the mcrning il shines in
upon Broadway. Can't say "a 10 how IT shines
upon the Chambers street from, in the afternoon,
= large building cuts oil its rays.
