At 10 2. NJ. the court adjourned until II
O'Clock this morning.
Mr.. Law, the main witness for the prose-
cution, was on the witness stand for two
hours and a half. He underwent n most
thorough, searching, and exhaustive eXami-
NATION at the hands Of counsel for defence.
They claim that they have shaken him on
many points, showing the weakness OF his
memory about the time he lost his money.
But the general opinion is that as to the
robbery he kept pretty close to the original
story.
