The Mcfarland Trial.
ELEVENTH DAY.

NEW YORK, April 19.-The Court room was
crowded with large number of ladies occu-
plying seats inside the railing in a good posi-
ton to hear the evidence, which is now about
given up for while, and testimony relating to
the connection of Richardson with Mrs. Nc
Farland is to be adduced.
Mrs. Mason was again placed on the stand
and testified that Mrs. Mcfarland received two
letters which came to the house of witness for
her. They were post-marked Hartford, where
Richardson was. Mrs. Mcfarland got the
back room after Mr.. Mason left it, and Rich
ardson arrived soon after. Richardson came
sooner than witness expected. He arrived in
the night time; did not know who let him in.
Mrs. Mcfarland told witness that he was go
ing to Boston. Witness remembered Mrs.
Mcfarland telling her that she would not live
with her husband any more. Witness remon-
strated with her saying that Mcfarland was
very devoted husband. Mr.. Mcfarland came
McFarland's room; saw the prisoner take out
some letters from her writing desk; they were
the letters witness heard read from Mrs. Cal
houn and Mrs. Sinclair. He took out of the
back again. Mcfarland was very much agi-
tated during the search. Prisoner asked wit
ness how it was that Mrs. Mcfarland came
back, and witness explained as she testified
previously: Witness told Mcfarland of her
seeing Richardson in Mrs. Netherlands room.
Mrs. Mcfarland breakfasted with Richardson
three days after she came back to live in the
house. The breakfast was cooked by Mrs. Nc
Farland. Witness remembered of Richardson
taking a piece of paper off some clothes that
the washerwoman brought in. Both Richard
son and Mrs. McFarland's clothes were in the
basket.
Mr.. Graham here read a list of the clothes.
showing what they consisted of.
