The Court here took the usual recess.
AFTER RECESS.
After the Court met again quarter of an hour
elapsed before the proceedings were resumed.
The room flied up, the Judge was on the bench,
the ladies In their places and the witness In the
chair. Mr.. Evarts still tarrled and the suspense
was growing painful. Plaintiff and defendant
faced each other, the one gazing at the gallery,
the other scanning the golden scales OF justice
ABOVE His Honor's head.
Theodore Titon's cross examination was re.
sumed by Mr.. Evarls. He saId:-
Know OIL no letters dated rom or written by
Bessie Turner before her departure for the West.
in or alter January, 1884, except those that have
been given IN evidence; do not remember that
upon the occasion OF the conversation between me
and Mr.. Bowen, when Mr.. Ohver Johnson was
present, before or on the 10Th OF December, there
was any reference to an occurrence with which |
Was charged as being connected IN NOrtn1ed,
Minn.; remember occurring at NOrJnheld once; |
could not ii the date; u Is good while ago-sIx
or seven years ago; remember staying in the

this moment that there was O cuarge against ME
in relation to my conduct while was at North
