Court room on the day of the arrest of

vens TO help clear the room; heard a man |

remark, but was mistaken; thought re-
cognized Griffin as the man, but know it
was not him Griffin and the man who made
the remark looks as much alike as any two

Warren IL Co., dry goods dealers, on Wash

REBuT11NG TESTIMONY FOR GOVERNMENT.
Ellis Wright, recalled. Heard the testi-
mony of Mr. Curtis Yesterday s. do not wish
TO change my testimony. heard the testi-
mony Of Calvin T. Moody, but do not wish
to make any change in my testimony in con-
sequence of that.
Mr. Lunt announced TO the court that he
had Just learned OF the existence of two
very important witnesses, who would testi-
fy to facts which were perfectly surprising
to him. lie therefore moved the court for
time TO procure those witnesses.
Mr.. Hale said he was not surprised at the
motion of the learned District Attorney. if |
that gentlemen himself was surprised at
what his now witness would testify to. lie
hoped the Court would not vary from the |
usual course in such cases, and allow this case
to be opened again. lie had no doubt there
were more witnesses. In n city like Boston
witnesses could alway be had as long as want
ed. The demand causes the supply. The |
learned counsel said he hoped the perl.eus of |
the city would not be secured further that |
the Court would not allow Government to |
levy upon the junk dealers and bowling sa-
looms of the city ngain, for the purpose of
soaring up witnesses to swear against the |
defendant
Mr. Lunt said he considered great por-
ton of what the counsel for defence has said |
as entirely beneath his notice he cited sew
eral instances where testimony, newly discov-
cred, as in this case, had been admitted, and |
named several distinguished members of the
Bench aud Bar in Massachusetts whom he
consulted, and had expressed the opinion
