 In the trial at West Haven yesterday morn ng the first witness was Charles E. Bryant, ,lerk at the Elliott House. Previously Mr. | Bollman announced that he had in his possess sion the original opium prescription which had been compounded at the Blackman drug store, Grand street, and which Jennie Ora mer had had put up at the store one morning two or three days before her death He re- ceived it from the mother of the deceased. It was exhibited to lawyers for the defense, but it's introduction was reserved for later time. The prescription was written on a somewhat aged piece of ledger or bill paper and it ran as follows:

 The State has got the receipt from the Adams Express company, who sent it.
 MT. Bryant was called to locate Blanche at the Elliott House between two and three on Thursday, August 4. He testified that she | was there that day and he saw her go out of the front door between the hours specified, and pretty certain she was alone; didn't know where she was in the earlier part of the day. His hour to come on duty at the hotel was 12 o'clock noon. Here he showed record book which showed charge of thirty-fve cents to Blanche for bath Witness testified that the bell-boy, George Coyns, came to him for the key to bath room No. ?, for Miss Douglass, which was given the boy, and hence the charge against her it was about an hour later when Miss Doug lass went out, as stated don't recollect how she was dressed the ladies' entrance to the | hotel is kept locked from the outside and | was so on this afternoon and evening, sup pose when lady desires to enter she rings l the bell and the bell boy opens the door the bell boys that Thursday were George Coyne and Patrick Early.
 ! During the time that Miss Douglass stopped at the hotel saw Jennie Cramer with her on only one day-Wednesday, August 8; I have | seen the pictures of this Cramer girl and am satisfied it is the same girl; I went into the | supper room that Wednesday evening about | 6:3O, sat down at a table and noticed two la l dies sitting at Waiter Johnson's table; as soon as had ordered my supper saw the | two ladies pass by me on their way out of the dining room, and recognized them as Blanche | Douglass and Jennie Cramer about o'clock | the two left the hotel together I did not see Jennie Cramer after that; think one or | fyrO hhav,, hot ing
 On Friday evening" August 5, was sitting by the right hand front door leading to the office, when saw Miss Douglass and James and Walter Malley go out through the ladies' | entrance Walter and Miss Douglass got into a waiting buggy and drove off, while James walked up Chapel street; Walter drove down Chapel street, but could not say whether he turned Olive street.
 On the cross examination by Mr. Bollman witness said: Blanche Douglass stopped at the Elliott House from Saturday, July 30th, after dinner, till Saturday, August 9th; she was charged by the week for her room and l board-twenty dollars week-washing and baths extra if she had only been there one night that week the charges would have been the same; I don't know of my knowledge that she slept out of the hotel one night |: that entry in my book of an ''extra tea' re- fers to the night Jennie Cramer got supper there
 An entry in the hotel book showed the word lodging" interlined witness said it was not his entry.
 Mir. Blydenburgh asked what Mr. Bollman expected to prove. MT. Bollman answered |: II claim that an effort was made to make it appear that Jennie Cramer stopped that Wednesday night with Blanche Douglass at this hotel and that, following the extra tea charged on this book for Jennie Cramer, the word lodging was subsequently, written to be shown in support of the claim that Jennie spent the night at the hotel instead of the Malley house."
 The defense said that they didn't claim that Jennie Cramer remained at the Elliott House that night.
 The State said they wished to test the ac- curacy of the book. They wished to show that it had been tempered with in the inter- est of Blanche Douglass statements.
 s'Well, what has that to do with us ?' in l quired the defense.
 ''As much as Blanche Douglass presence at the hotel Wednesday afternoon has to do with it-and as much as the bath," said MT. Bollman. He also referred to the sscopy from memory of the prescription.
 The witness being further cross examined said that the evening of July 30, at about 1 8 o'clock, he saw Blanche and 8 lady with a white dress going out the ladies' entrance with two young gentlemen; could not tell whether the other was Jennie or not Walter came back to the hotel with Blanche.

North's, who 1 testified that he was on the flying horses in Railroad Grove on the night of Friday, Aug. 9th. His testimony was corroborative of Maggie Kane as to her being on the flying | horses that night and uttering the excIama. ton, My God, am paralyzed,' D as she got off the horse He was the picture of a rol- licking good -natured Irishman.
