From Our Own Rcporter}
Jo'1zT, april =, 1879.
The prosecution rested their 1abors this
forenoon, with the closc Of Mrs. Whites tcs-
timony, which, as the public anticipate from
the charges in the specifications, brought out
some rich points; especially interesting were
tie questions and answers, upon her cross
examination. As ssthe evidence Is fol thcom-
Ing prefer that your readers read it and
Judge for themselves, rather than take my in
prcsfions. There is very much, however,
that goes to express the real feelings Of q wit
rces, which cannot be understood by reading
the testimony. The expression Of features,
| tone Of voice, and manner OF answering, have
sometimes as much weight with jury as the
words pronounced BY tue witness; +end this
is a case Of that kind of which the public can
hardly judge from the reading Of the testl
mony, unless should I'LL q pnge each day i1l
/ describing the scenes In Court, appearance o1
the witness, when leading questions arc pro
! pounded, etc.
Considerable skill has been required on tue
part of The defence. in the ecross.cxumin;ltlon1 II
! 10 bring to light certain matters which there
| has been cons1 ant effort to keep behind the
] curtain. But + think tho result Ut the cross
| examination should be satisfaction. to DOLL
| parties-ccrtainly to the defence.
Tie publication in ths T41puSE. to-day, o.
| the testimony Of Miss Olive Lawrence, turned
| the tables in tle Court room. Up to this time
! it has been clailned BY the defence, and &C
knowlcdged BY hcprosecution, that the testi
1nony pnblishcd-{0f Mrs. Stone and Mrs
! Pcrrigo)-was garbled, and gayc the most
| possible showing against Mr. Hager. Today
| however, both tile direct and cross.eyamina
| ton Of Miss Lawrence appears, and If possible
| the surprise as to where the leak is, is now
greater tlan ever. Half in joke and half il
! earnest, the prosecution limited to the defence
| that they had furnished this testimony, which
| they could not consistently acknowledge, ant
| Of course denied. The prosecution and thu
Bishop etill deny their completely in the mat
| ter. Thus it appears, that though this is til.
fifteenth day Of the trial, and that each day ths
| screws have been frightened The leak has not
been stopped, nor 1--we the diyiues or cuun
sellors discovered where it is.
Mrs. White has received, during her exam
ination, more marked attention from thost
present, than has any other wituess-no
merely because she is au attractive and inter
esting young widow, but because shc was tn
most Important one Oh the part Of tlc prose
cution-their trump card. As mark Q
special favor she vas furnished with an extra
easy chair, which shs occupied during he
attendance, aud which was removed from tn
court room at the close of her examination
Her wants Laye been carefully studied an'
complied with, even to the Inconvenience an
discomfort Of others. Mrs. Hagcr, per
feet lady and a christian, and wh'
las faithfully and contldingly acco,npanie1
her husband, day after day, has never left hi
side during this the severe trial Of bis life
This implicit, unwayering confidence, FROM
wife who has known him SO long and so we'll
and who doubts not his Innocence even i
the face Of all the ingenious charges whic
| have been inyent1 4 aud presented before hcl
l in INV Nf n
his favor.
While 50 much attention has been paid t
the Witnesses, and Mrs. White, particularly
Mrs. Hagcr has no. received a word Of symp:
thy CT cous ola!l0n from the Tycoon during th
trial, nor scarce kindly look Of recognition.
Another singular fact connected with til,
| affair, is that tie husbands and male relatioi
Of these ledy witnesses have pcrsistentsy d
; c1ined attending court with their wives
! daughters, aud the only man here who b:
/ taken an active interest III the matter,
Slnith Lawrence, the cros5-grlincd uncle
Mrs.. White and Miss Lawrence. He has
I personal interest III presenting the case III tt
y strongest possible light, that Ii may the mo-
;. fully justify his attack upon Mr.. Hager,
Chicago. for which he is still to answer to
civil tribunal, and tie result Of which
+ gttatly fears, as well hc may.
