~ CROSS EXAMINATION CONTINUED.
( The examination was excluded by the
Recorder. The witness then stated in re-
sponse to questions from Mr.. Davis, that she
did not think Mrs, Mcfarland was particu-
larry agitated on the evening in question ;
she believed there was a carriage at the
door, but did not see it; she did not 90 to
the door, she said, and she was not aware
that there was a policeman there Mr.. Da-
Wis then put q, variety OF questions as to Mr..
Farland having broken open the trunk
on the occasion when he obtained his wife's
letter, but the witness professed to know
nothing of the means which he employed in
opening it, or the. lock afterward proving
to be broken she was then asked about
the portrait OF Richardson, which was found
in the trunk :; this she said was life size
photograph lying at the bottom of the
trunk, with tho face downward; she could
not say that Mcfarland looked at it, but
she thought from its position that he could
not help noticing it; she found it after Nc
Farland had gone. while gathering up the
contents of the trunk, which he had scat
tered about, and took it out and placed it
on the sofa, where it remained until taken
