The Christiancy Case.

Edeloerto giro, who few days ago. before
Commissioner King, in New York, testified as
10 having had criminal intimacy with Mrs.
ChrlStiancy at the St James Hotel, on Christ
mas day last, is native OF Cuba, and for some
years has been engaged In business In Peru:
being interested In patent firearms, and In
buying and selling diamonds. and had made
considerable money. In hts testimony he states
that he returned to this CITY at the suggest on
OF Mrs Christiancy. He came to this country
In the same vessel with Mrs. Christiancy-,he
Acapulco; that on the passage
HB GAVE HER RING OF TURQUOISE
and a diamond ring. for which he had been OF
fered $500 by wholesale dealer and suose-
quently he gave her other articles OF jegelry, In
Guiding solitaire earrings, watch and chain,
bracelets set With diamonds. In all valued at
81 500. These were all gifts In the nature OF
those from lover, and he expected her 10 re
tain them SO long as friendly relations existed
between them. He also loaned her $500 IL ap-
Feared that their relations were
FRIENDLY UNT1I. SOME TIME LAST SUMNER
and that some thirty or forty letters were
written by Mrs Christiancy TO Giro, for the
receipt for nearly forty or them which GIRO
claims be turned over TO Blood on Mrs. Chris
lancy'S order. Giro denies having received the
leWelry. Mrs Christiahcy claims that She tafter
having declined 10 give the Iewelry to Jack son.
who came over with AN order from Giro gave
them 10 Dr.. Blood 10 be delivered 10 Giro. IL is
understood that Blood claims that he has not
the jewelry.
BLOOD AND GIRO.
Ii appears that after Glros arrival In This
country he became acquainted with Blood and
was pursuaded TO enter into partnership with
bin, aid through GIRO, Blood became ac
quaiDted With Mrs. Cnristtancy. When the
difficulty arose between Blood and Giro and th..
former was arrested Oh the complaint OF the
latter, Blood Tetallated By making known
Giro'S connection with the case.
STATUS OF GIRO's TESTIMONY.
In consequence OF Giro'S testimony being di-
rectly to the reverse OF that OF the clerk ar the
St. JshieS hotel mt. Holtchuhl, who tes;iie:
that Mrs. Christiancy was not the woman with
Giro, the friends OF Mr. Christiancy are elated
ard some OF them regard his case as fully made
out. lt must be remembered. however that
Giro is the participant in the offence with which
MTs. ChriSt1ancy Is charged and consequently
his testimony Is about on par with that OF an
accompllce who Is used as states evidence aad
Ii Is required that his testimony must be cor
robOrated as TO every material point. Ii
is question whether Mr.. Christiancy's
friends Will be able 10 furnish such
coTToboratiye testimony. The hackman who,
1t Is alleged, took Mrs. ChrlStiancy from her
residence 10 the hotel. has made an affldayIt
describing a woman OF entirely different ap-
pearance; and The waiter at the hotel and Mr.
Holtchuh, the clerk, have failed to indentify
Mrs. Christianey as the woman. IL is under
stood, however, that DR.. Ball, who was for q
time the private secretary OF Mr.. Christiancy.
was In the st. James at the time and viii
