The New York herald., 1872-10-26
What He Knows About McWil
Hams and Doyle.
Strong Corroborative and Ciroum
stantial Evidence.
Secret Correspondence Brought
to Light.
SECOND DAY OF THE TRIAL.

visible, there was notable absence OF the promi-
nent New York plugs who displayed such interest
in the case on Thursday. The announcement in
yesterdays HERALD that some of them were
"wanted" to answer to long g-standing indictments
may have contributed to save them and their iam-
lies from serious trouble.
Frank McD0nough was recalled and cross
examined by the defence in regard to the notes
which he made OF the conversation he heard be-
tween Doyle and Mrs. Devereaux while he was In
the closet.
Leon Abbott, one Of the counsel for the burglars
in the late trial. took the stand and testified that
he had received several letters from Denning and
received one from Mr.. Winfield for Denning A
letter was shown and Identified but the contents
were not made public.
Mr.. Winfield, one or the counsel for the defence
was next examined in relation to letter which
Doyle gave him to hand to Denning, and Denning's
reply thereto. Mrs. Devereaux asked him to con-
vey letter from her to the Judge, but he recon-
mended her to give it to an onicer.

In the crossexamination by Mr.. Winfield, Proctor
kept the astute lawyer at bay by the keenest wit
and sarcasm, which provoked repeated laughter and
merriment throughout the court. He proved him
self to be what Denning said Of him, "well
educated and smart.r For short time he was
somewhat tractable and gave direct answers as
f0llows:-

In reply to Mr. winaeld's complaints that he
could not obtain direct answers from the witness,
Proctor said with keen bitterness, "If you want
evidence from me you must ask straightforward
around the BUSH" U.aughtcr).
