The NewtOvvn Murder Case-Striking g TaafimonY.

Testimony.
 When the hearing was resumed in the
 Newtown murder case Thursday morning,
 Charles c. Bartram testified for the State
 that on the morning after Wright had the trouble with the accused, he discovered foot
 prints on the road near the pond and blood
 marks in several places. Passing over the road from his home in Hanover to Sandy
 Hook, he had seen blood stains on the bridge and on the railing which runs between the road and the pond. He also saw several inn pressions in the road as though something heavy had been laid down. In one of these was pool of blood. After passing these he
 met John McNamara. one of the accused, going in the direction of the bridge. Wit ness soon after started on his return home,
 and when he came in sight of the bridge he again saw McNamara going toward it with a vessel containing water. He watched him and saw him scrubbing portions of the bridge. As witness came in sight the accused went away. On reaching the spot witness saw where McNamara had attempted to re- move the blood stains on the woodwork He noticed, too, that some of the pools of blood had been freshly covered At o'clock the hearing was adjourned till Monday, July 25.
 The testimony is of such nature and is so strongly against the accused there is but lit tie doubt that they will be held for trial at the Superior Court.
