Judge Williams again yesterday afternoon Miss
Charlotte Blake WAS the person examined Mf.
Asay moved to quash tho writ OF hnbeas corpus
hut the Judge thought it Was entirely too late,
As she had filed m answer, and the Wtlt being
,,.her . common law proceeding, the motion.
beiue in tho nature OF demurrer, should have
been presented before the answer Was filed
Miss Blake then took the Btand, and testified
that she was employed in the Orphan Asylum last
June and knew Ellen Kennedy. She was III wit
ness company tho night she disappeared. They
won't to the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church
.nd returned about o'clock. Some one told the
children who wcro with her to go to bed. Sho
had several children with her that evening, but
could not tell The number. Some one else told
the children to so to bed She hns never since
heard Of Ellen nor her whereabouts. She did
not mako any inquiries about where she had
zone. On the Sunday Ellen disappeared Wit
ness ear paper Which stated that guardian
had been appointed. aud advised with tho Presi-
don't. " ho decided that sue must bo given up.
Ellen saw the paper, aud asked witness Il she
waa to be given up. Witness said she was.
Ellen then objected strongly to going away, and
became excited. Witness therefore concluded
that Ellen had run away, and though that Ellen
was now in the possession OF tho Catholics.
Miss Myers and A1iss Bennett were both in Charge
Of the asylum that evening.
Considerable more evidence VAS produced, but
nothing satisfactory WAS elected that tended to
provo that the witness know Of the disappear
Ruce of tho child
Mr. Moran then asked leave to produce an in
mate Of the asylum, girl who slept with Ellen.
before the rule be discharged. 1ir. Ahay object
ed aud asked that the rule be dismissed, as the
evidence had produced nothing, aud it WAS uu-
lust that tho officers OF the asylum should be
longer harassed.
Judge Williams said that he thought the off,
GERS OF tho institution had testified fairly. and
that those who had been examined had nothing
todo With tbs child's disappearance. They e7l-
dou.ly had agreed to give ler up when the guar
dian was appointed 1t was possible that further
eYidencs might chow whero the child was, aud
I,it disposition WIS to be as easy as' poesi-
tle. He therefore fixed Monday afternoon as
tue time whea the remaining witness
thrown on the somewhat mysterious disappear
ance of the child he should at that time dis
charge the rule finally.
1t Is now about piuc months since Ellen Ken
ncdy disappeared from the Orphan ASYLUM, and
not the least trace of her hns az yet been found.
Nearly ali the officers OF that institution hare
been examined, yet mono of them know anything
apparently Of her whereabouts. Tho stranScst
poiut is that no one seemed to ask question, Or
manifest the least interest in the matter, aud
the most searching crosR-examination La. failed
to elicit any clue. It il hardly supposable that
she could have voluntarily run away, and hare
escaped detection go long.

Still another chapter OF the ways that arc
dark" in connection with the National Life In
surance Company and benjamin Lombard, was
detailed yeFterdny by the bill filed in the

,owcd" tho stock and note above mentioned,

eeedlng and the fact thnt the Company borrowed
