Julia Mason was the second witness called
by the prosecuting officer. She testified tha
she worked in the sumo mill and boarded II
the same house with the prisoner. That on tho
day but one after tie money was abstractet
she had gone out shopping in the city, and by
mistake had taken Miss kcndall's rcticule in.
stead of her own, as they we're much alike
That on her return. in removing the articles
she had purchased, the envelope introduced il
court was found under them, but the seal was
broken and no money in it: and she immcdi-
atelv called the attention Of the clerk of the
corporation to the fact aud gave the plpcr tc
him.
The express agent testified that about the
same time, a package of five hundred dollars
was deposited in the office, directed to j. Ken.
dali, New Hampshire, and BY hia, for.
warded to its destination; but by whom it was
deposited it was impossible for him to tell.
The next witness name was Miller. He
was employed as a second foreman by the cor
poration-had a reputation for low cunning,
and was universally disliked He was man
who, it was generally believed, would sacrifice
friendship and honor for his own advancement.
and who had shown himself in more instances
than one vindiciive and revengefnl to the last
degree. 1t was known in confidence to few
that he was a rejected sutor of Miss Kendall.
and that he had sworn he would b. revenged
on her-that if any other man ever made her
his wife it should only be after she had been
disrraced forever. 1t was also whispered that
he had lately been paying marked attention to
Julia Mason, who had sworn to the finding of
the envelope. Miller testified that on the alter
noon the larceny was committed he was pas
sing across the yard near the office that he
saw the clerk come ont. and in few moments
after the prisoner likewise; that on seeing him
she appeared confused and thrust something
into the bosom of her dress that he thought
nothing of it at the time, nor until after the
theft had been made public and Miss Kendall
was arrested.
Old Mr.. Kendall was now called to the
stand. The old man came forward with fal-
terng step. Although he felt in his own soul
that his daughter was inocent of any crime, ne
feared and believed that the weight of his own
testimony would seal her fate. After being
sworn, the District Attorney inquireG-'Did
