 he was an old or young man, nor who he
 was; the blinds were open and could see in the room from my window; the time fix
 was because my husband had not returned;
 he usually returns about o'clock; there was ! dim light in their room; when saw Jennie
 last she was getting ready to go away; don't
 know as I could see all over the room, but I could see lounge and bed; did not see Jen-
 nie again that evening" l saw the two ladies again on Thursday before Jennies body was
 found (the next day); don't know who the
 other lady was; it was between ? and 3
 o'clock in the afternoon; saw them in front of the Elliott House at the ladies' entrance;
 they were ringing the bell; am sure about Jennie Cramer being one of the ladies; her
 companion they say was Miss [Objected
 
 further said the lady was the same she saw
 with Jennie the night before; Miss Cramer | was dressed in white and standing by the
 window fixing her mitts, and the other lady l was near her, sitting in chair; saw both of
 them going up Chapel street soon after at
 about half-past seven; it was light enough to see them; gentleman was with them; the ! next evening saw the other lady that was I with Jennie accompanied by tive gentlemen, in front of the Elliott House; they were talk ing together; this lady went to ride with one | of the gentlemen; the other gentleman went
 up Chapel street; it was about o'clock that saw them. Witness being asked to pick . ! out the gentleman who was in the carriage
 looked around and picked out Walter Malley.
 The night in question was the night of the all | legged Branford Point ride of Walter and E Blanche
 Continuing the witness said: Mrs Crofut
 was with me at the time I saw them on
 Thursday was sitting at the window in my } room, both afternoon and evening, and also on Friday evening.
 . Witness was now subjected to searching
 cross examination by Mr. Fox: I formerly lived on Grand street for two years; my lit , ! tie girl was with me at the window, and Mrs Crofut was in the room; had no light in I l the room; fix the date that it was on the
 Thursday evening before the body was found, because on the Saturday that the body was 3 found it was my husbands birthday; on the
 evening before, Friday, I went and
 bought my husband pair of slippers for 8 present I bought them at MT. Stinow's
 on Chapel street MT. Stinow waited on me l | himself.
 l Continuing the witness said: On Thurs day evening I was trying to make up my | mind what to get him for a present can't tell which of the two gentlemen it was that ! went up Chapel street with the party that ! Thursday afternoon; have not seen the gen. ! tleman since that know of
 Judge Blydenburgh remarked that the wit ] ! ness had been drilled enough evidently. Mir. , ! BolIman defended the witness from the i'm
 putation, but the Judge said he wouldn't take , a word back and the Justice said, Proceed" :" , Some questioning ensued as to what the wit t ! ness said to reporter who called. Witness | further said that she had hesitated from ner- l vousness about being called into the case and 5 having to come before the courts She wished to be left out and wanted to have her s | doctor come here and tell, "but they forced
 me to come myself" [Sensation.]
 | Here witness broke down and began to
 cry, and court was suspended for five min utes to give witness chance to get easier. Witness then wished to go on and get through as quick as she could.
 MT. Fox now pressed witness to tell what
 Mr. Bollman instructed her about her testi- , mony. She finally said, 'tMr. Bollmann told me to tell what happened on Wednesday, } Thursday and Friday, but not to tell anything | that happened on Saturday,"
 
 | ''What does all this amount to? What do you propose to show ?' inquired Justice : Booth.
 l MT. Fox replied that it was shown that the witness was unreliable one and her story , made up.
 Mr. Bollman then demanded that the line 3 of examination go on as her name had been t \ brought in.
 Justice Booth ruled that it was inmate \ rial
 Judge Blydenburgh rose up then and made | 8 lengthy argument, which reflected severely ! upon the witness, claiming that the defense
 would prove that she told different stories j; ' but as to MT. BolIman the defense did not wish to cast any reflections upon him. I ''The State will take care of themselves" ," . MT. Bollman said. TMerriment reignsd. Nothing more was elicited from witness on the cross and then the State asked her if she l | had been asked to tell anything untrue, or been given any caution as to her testimony. Witness replied, No, sir, ]" with emphasis, but
 that she was told to tell all that she knew ] positively. Being asked who her doctor was | she said it was Dr. Linquist.
