The Syracuse RepuJiioan says
The girl Cummings gave her testimony under gree,
emotion, and il is difficult to sgppose that she had
been informed OF her rights and the dangerous position that
she placed in 1t caused much remark that her test
mony did not come up to the supposed standard and that
her mind failed several material points that might have
Strengthened the weight Of her evidence But il could
not be expected thar she would admit state all that she
saw even IL she and heard what she alleges in hei
testimony yesterday afternoon. II Gould have been i'm
prudent for her to have gone further with The hope
apardon."
