NEW wIrNESs-A SENSATION.
Soon after halLpast three Judge Fullerton an
nounced . new and sicKly female witness. The
counsel for tho defence seemed DESTROYS to object,
but had very little opportunity before the witness
marched into court She was thickset, middle-
aged Irish woman. about forty years cid, wearing
gray wo0llen dress, . reddish. figured shawl ana
. black bonnet with q bunch OF pink roses in It.
She carried a white handkerchief In her thin,
gaunt hands and held It against her chin while
testifytng. Her appearance was that OF csm.
monplace, overworked, keen-featured house
keeper or under servant, with small. sharp nose,
black eyes, rather darting in their character high
cheek bones and reddish complexion She ex.
planned very soon that she had brown keeters"
on her lungs. This she satd very jauntiy.
Her testimony was Heen. quick and circumstan-
tiaL With her arm on the elbow OF the witness
chair, her face attentive and all her faculties con-
without evasion in a very distinct voice, and
generally with that grammatical clearness which
indicated good natural head and good assoca-
lions. She was generally called q clear, good
witness.
Mr. Beecher and wife were not present when
this testimony was given. Mrs. Field, the large
Quaker lady, sitting by Mrs. Titon, heard this
rather startling and unexpected testimony given
with look OF pain and nervous interest Sitting
under Mrs. Field Mrs. Tilton could not be seen By
any great number OF people. A note was passed
to . gentleman who sat Just beside her to ask how
she took the testimony, and he replied on paper:-
"Plushed; eyes nashina: writing notes to Tracy !;
uneasy; breathing like o racehorse; cycling the
woman Closely"
The audience was extraordinarily attentive
during all this testimony.
