cargo have come ashore. The re-
port that Mrs. Fishers body had been

his friends who was saved says that
Mr.. Sumner held on TO the wreck as
long as be could, and then was washed

THE GORDON MURDER TRIAL.
Fifth Day.
Continuation Of the Governments
Testimony.

BELFAST, Nov. 14.-The forenoon's proceed
in.ys have been devoid of interest
Sheriff Norton testified to finding letter in
the Jail office, addressed to the prisoner, pur-
porting to have been written by man who
confesses the murder of the Gordon family. The
theory of the government is that the prisoner
was its author, and the remainder of the fore
noon was occupied by the testimony of experts
as to his handwriting.
This afternoon the testimony was principally
confiued to the appearance of blood upon the
prisoners clothing after his arrest. His shirt
and vest were exhibited to the jury The
anonymous letters offered yesterday were final
ly excluded, but that found in the Jail was sub
mtted as evidence and read. A statement
made and signed by the accused at the corou-
er's inquest was also put into the case 1t is
rambling aud contradictory, and fails to account
for his conduct at the time of the tragedy, in
not attempting to rescue the family or enquire
for their safely.
At 4 o'clock the Attorney General announc-
ed that the testimony for the State was COM
pleted, and the Conrt adjourned until Saturday
morning, when Mr.. Wallace will open the de-
fence
