consideration of human possibilities
Owing to the mastery and ingenious
cross.examinalions of Mr.. OConor, the Jumel
estate case bids fair to become one OF the most
remarkably .slong- -drawn.out" Of Its kind on
record. Six or eight weeks is now set down
as the minimum time for the trial, in place OF
ten days or fortnight, as originally Intended.
The witnesses for the defence are not yet ex-
hausted; and during the first three days OF the
present week they have been brought up sue
cessiyely, and subjected to vigorous pump
Ing" process which they will be Likely to re-
member for the rest of their limited lives.
Among the witnesses was ex-Fire Marshal
Baker, who testified that Madame Jumel asked
him in 1859 to examine into the cause OF the
burning of barn on her premises, saying that
she believed it had been set on fire by Mr.
Chase or Mr.. Perry to drive her from her home,
and that she had q good mind to send for her
son and have him drive out the whole croWd
of the Chases and Perrys, who, she said, were
worrying her to death, and let her son take
complete charge OF her property. Another
witness. an old man named Hull, OF ProVl-
dence. testified that Madame Jumel in early
life went under the name Of Betsey Bowen;
that he saw the plaintiff in this action when he
was only year and half old; that Madame
Jumel, or Belsey Bowen, acknowledged him
as her son; that she went away to New YORK
and came back again to Providence, calling
herself Madame Jumel, and delivered a lecture
there: and that the people received her with
some derision, styling her Betsey Bowen. The
trial which is invariably attended by q crowd
ofinterested spectators, is continued regular
ly from day to day.
