/ AT the request OF the Coroner the witness took

After Recess.
Shortly after three O'Clock the jury reassembled
and Coroner Whitehil, resuming his seat on the
bench, called to the witness stand Mr.. w. W.. Good
rich. Before the witness could respond the coun-
sci, Mr.. McCelland, arose, and after few remarks
touching the fact that Mrs. Armstrong is held as
witness for the people and not as a participant in
the alleged crime there was nothing left for him to
do in the case. Reports had been circulated, how
ever, which would give the impression that
this lady was in some way implicated in the MUIR
der, which was an act Of injustice to Mrs. Arm
strong. Her relations and several sympathizlng
citizens Of New York had engaged his services to
act in her behalf The father and mother OF the
lady are old and feeble, and she Is their only sup
port Mr.. Hubbel had but one interview with his
daughter since her arrest. She could see her child
and relatives at the jail while retained there, but
she did not wish that her relatives should visit her
in such place.
He moved that she should either be discharged
from custody or admitted to bail, as she would
only be too glad to appear whenever wanted, and
would give any testimony In her power most will
ingly, now that she had recovered from the embar
rassment attendant upon her arrest.
Coroner Whitehill expressed his sympathy for
the lady, but said that would not be proper to ad
init her to bail at this stage OF the proceedings He
would consult the District Attorney however, on
the subject and be guided by his Judgment
THE OTHER ROSCOE.
The Chairman Of the jury desired to ask Mrs. Arm
strong question Mrs. Armstrong, you rec0g-
nized the gentleman in court this morning as Mr..
Roscoe, bu: not as the same person you referred
to ~
The witness explained that about six months ago
she occupied rooms with her child, and she was
called upon by Spaniard who desired to have
room there; he agreed to have his meals with me
and pay me SO per week; he then continued to
come and take dinner with me, but did not pay for
It she frst met this man at 302 Broadway, where
she went In answer to an advertisement to look
for employment.
