ALICE GREENFIELD's MURDER.
THE INDICTED HUSBAND ON The STAND
SWEARING FOR HIS LITE-AN INCREDIBLE
DECLARATION,

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.
SYRACUSE, N. Y. Ocr. 8. 1879.
The testimony of Orlando Greenfield in his
behalf concluded at the forenoon session Of the
court to-day. He contradicted several of the most
reputable Witnesses who had given testimony as to
his abuse of his wife and to the partial admissions
no had made that he had killed her. The very
damaging evidence fellow prisoner had given, to
the effect that Greenfield had made admissions to
him regarding the murder. Greenfield declared
tanned not one word of truth. The witness had
also sworn that Greenfield had made preparations
escape from Jail. This Greenfield positively denied
He also denied that he had dragged his wife by the
hair Of her head his sister n.law swore; he de-
MED that he wore, ON the night Of the murder. q
soldiers overcoat without cape witness who
went into the house with Greenfield before light
the morning to sec what had become of Alice testified
that the prisoner said before lamp was lighted.
my God. I'll bet she's dead" Greenfield declared
he had no recollection Of saying so.
A STORY CREDITED.
He testified that just before the murder dis
covered he went from his fathers house. where he
was staying, to his own house. and saw neighbor,
George Kinds. there, and he believed Kinds COM
mitted the murder. The prosecution showed that
the man who committed the murder took hold of q
door In the house while his hand was red with the
blood OF his vctni and left the bloody imprints of
four fingers and thumb OF the right hand. AS
Kinds had thumb on his right hand this story
OF Greenfield Is shown to be unworthy OF credence.
On q former trial Greenfield, in explanation OF the
bloody marks ON the pump. swore that day or two
previous to the murder his brother Academia ly cut
the finger of his left hand. To-day he changed that
statement, and declared it was the right hand his
brother cut.
Greennelds father and brother sworn in
his behalf this afternoon, and made unfavorable
in their testimony compared with that given
former trials.
