II o'clock night Of lst August Objected to by MI
q Conor not relevant to the is-ue lie trusted
they were not playing game for the lite OF man,
but will try il according 10 law. We have had an
attempt q. evidence of the parties first meeting tlat
morning. Ifihey can be shown together il is well,
but where DIR. Graham was the evening before Is not
relevant 10 the case and If the Court permits such
testimony there is no knowing where the inquiry
wll end. The District Attorney thought the counsel
quick. 1t may be msteria to know th II this
weapon the sword caDel was seen in DR.. Grahams
hand the night before. II not shown, the counsel
ma, set up, although think there is sufficient e-t
moDy already 10 It's identity, that 1t was Col
LoriBes sword. Dir. O'Copor contended the ques-
y
tive Of the District Attorney rs TO identity proper
Mr.. OC said they must 60 according to law. The
District Attorney asked the witness If he saw, the
Light before, anything in DIR. Grahams possession
The witness replied that he did, saw s.ord-cane
and had it ia his witness :, hand, and examined
il; il eas are same swordcaIe here shown; the blade
at that time was straight.
The witness was not cross examined.

or two was attended to the Courtroom leaning upon
the ann Of a young man, and two ladies' beng with
Ler Ms J.. dressed in deep black, "a on the
day before
.. MIR Lorpg What did your husband say TO the
man ho TuIg the hell
TObiected 10 by Mr. O Conor who asked if there is
vet any evidence that DR.. Graham was present AMI
beard The remarks. All the evidence Is what has
been stated by last stness that DIR. Graham said
he lad ruuc the hall bell while all the other testi
nony shows that Col Loripg came up the stairs
from the story below end at the head of the stairs
net DR. Graham; and there is 10 be an ate npt,
because DIR. Graham said he had rung the bell, TO
| show a conversation between Col Loring and some
person. He contended it could not be done.
I, During the argument of Mr.. Conor, Mrs Loring
became much affected and agtated and the District
Attorney a0y is,d she be taken TIL after the arga-
nent from the Courtroom. She then went out, ac'
! companied by her friends. Mr.. q Conor SAID he was
| cad Mrs l. bad gone out He and his associates
have duty to perform TO their client, who stands IN
situation which gives TO him the sympathy OF every
man y / o has a heart Mr. OC sail, at the close OF
the Coroner's inquest be and hls associates would
have been wiling t. give Mrs l.. testimony at the
! iuguts ST. but from what has been limited By the Dis
trct Attorney that more than that is to be expected
and the most dangerous testimony IN the word u
that 10 Conversation, the witness having ieeihS
| against DR.. Graham and Dr. q. mouth shut ~ 10
what il wa they must insist upon their legal rights,
and the testimony of Mrs. Lonng cannot be admitted.
Tie Distrct.AtiOrney insisted that suiicie"t foun-
dalton bad been laid The bell was no u room bell.
Dor was it bell for the boariers it was servants
bell There Is evidence tina. that bell was rung, and
10 other and that Dr. Graham rung II that morning.
Ii was directly in front OF Col. Lorngs ROOM and
some hundred feet from where the encounter after
ward took place. The bell was not IN the public
ball and no person but Dr. Graham Is shosn 10 have
b, en- there. As TO Mrs LorIDg feelings being hos
tile 10 Dr. Graham, her character is good and unim'
u.acled and either that the idea OF uncertainty
as 10 conversations, can exclude the testimony, though
as the latter it is to be weighed by the other evil
dtHCe.
Mr. Conor replied. He con.ended that no test
mouy has been presented which will authorize the
admission Of the evidence In order TO admit It,
there must be as much certainty that Dr. Grenam
rang hat bell a. if he his trial for life for
ringing H. Others may have rung II; the hall WAS
full OF servants &c; and the burden lies upon the
prosecution 10 that II could nave Oeen no other
man than DIR. q aham at the door wnen Col Lorlng
