OF the pockets and removed some scraps of
paper or folded papers. There was also an
old card case, with one or two visiting cards.
These were handed to me. / did not examine
them, but put them into an envelope and di-
rected them to Hon. Mr. Pendleton, with the
compliments of Mr.. Miller
The Court then at quarter before three,
adjourned.
AS Mr.. Sickles left the room, he was OBJ
served to be in better spirits than he had been
hitherto. The servant girl, Bridget Duffy,
gave her evidence with great clearness and
selfpossession. She is a rather pretty, intel-
gent looking, black haired Irish girl, of some
twenty-five years old. Her signature to Mrs
Sckles's confession shows that she has a fair
education.
Miss Ridgely is pretty young woman, APP
parently about eighteen. Her father lost his
life in the Mexican war. She gave her evil
dence without the slightest hesitancy or pause,
except for about minute, when slight faint
ing fit passed over her.
