Mooney, who works at Brown < Bottoms; don't know that have talked with him about the matter don't remember what had for dinner on Thursday or what hat or what dress I wore.
 Judge Blydenburgh continued his examina- tion at length for the purpose of testing the memory of the witness as to her recollection of facts.
 Have. you ever had any trouble with the proprietor of the Elliott House?
 Yes, sir. Question and answer ruled out as immaterial)
 Yes; talked with MT. Mattoon in the drug store about this matter; am frequent ly in the drug store.
 Did you go to ride with MT. Mattoon that week? No, sir.
 Justice Booth-You need not answer such
 questions, as they are quite immaterial and
 have no bearing on the case.
 Redirect-I think the last time l saw
 Blanche Douglass was on that Friday even
 ing; cannot say when saw her first.
 At 3:35 8 recess of five minutes was taken.
 After recess Mrs. Charles H. Miller was
 called. Witness said she lived at 213 Chapel
 street, in Adelphi building; I have known
 Jennie Cramer 14 years we called on each
 other frequently; knew Blanche Douglass
 at the Austin House, where she registered as
 B. Clements took my meals at the Austin
 House; last saw Jennie Cramer alive the
 Thursday before she died she was opposite
 my house on Chapel street, and was going
 toward the Elliott House; it was between
 2:30 and o'clock in the afternoon I was
 sitting by the front window on the Chapel
 street side; there was lady with her who
 wore dark skirt and gold brocaded waist :;
 could not see the other lady's face she had
 black parasol; Jennie Cramer wore 8 white
 dress, white hat and blue silk sash; nobody else was with the ladies; I could distinctly see the face of Jennie Cramer
 Yes; since that day have seen the lady whom I saw with Jennie Cramer; she had on an old gold skirt with pink waist when I
 next saw her, which was at the Austin House; I have since seen her in West Haven at MT. Peck's residence; identified her as the same party that saw walking with Jennie Cra- mer, from the fact that she was the same height and features as the lady saw walking with Jennie Cramer; there is no doubt in my mind but that she is the same party. Yes, I know James Malley, he was at my nie Cramer think it was after sunset was ! introduced to MT. Malley by Jennie at this time; never saw them together at any other place.
 Witness continued-I saw Jennie and ! Blanche Douglass walk down Chapel street on the 26th or 27th of. July; first heard ot Jennie's death about half. past 12 D. m. or ' Saturday, August 9th told the Crame1 | family of the circumstances of my seeing | Jennie on Thursday. Cross examination by Judge BIydenburgt ! l-Wltness went over the ground of testimony ! given on the direct, but no new facts were | brought out.
 On the redirect witness said that Miss Douglass described the dress and hat she wore on that Thursday afternoon at Mr. Peck's house, and it corresponded with hel | (witnessO views as given in evidence. At 4:35 the hearing was adjourned unti | Monday next at 10 8. m.
 NOTES.
 Mir. Fred Plant, whose name was men ! tioned in Mrs. Cramer's testimony Thursday | as an acquaintance of Jennie's, has been seen | and substantiated what Mrs. Cramer said that Jennie said to her-as to his seeing hel | and getting acquainted with her. He further said he never saw anything irregular in Jen ! nie's actions or unladylike. On the contrary
 she was very ladylike, and if the defence
 should put him on the stand to impugn Jen nie's character they would not make mucl | out of it.
 | Counsel for defence are quite we'll satisfied | with MT. Aliens admission upon the witness 4 stand Thursday, that after all he was in doub ! as to whether the man he saw with Jennie Cramer was James Malley, jr., and that after ! all he wouldn't be certain. They say tha 1 this coming after the dramatic scene at the | jail on his recognizing James Malley in the
 barber's chair and identifying him so posi- \ lively, is suggestive.
 | Loren Ptnckney Waldo.
 Judge Waldo died at his residence in Hart ford about midnight Thursday night, afte
 an illness of some two weeks, which had ex cited grave apprehension almost from the be | ginning, but more by reason of the advanced
 age of the patient than from the violence oi ! the attack in itself.
 | Loren Pinckney Waldo was born at Canter bury, Conn.,, February 2, 1902, and yer, ! early in life was thrown in a great measure on his own resources. When he was 1t years old the permanent disability of hi father threw the whole care and support O. the family on himself and his brother, wht was year or two older, and this support wal | to be obtained from small farm Hetaugh | school every winter from the time he was l. ' years old until he was 21, and during the lat \ ter part of this period studied law, beside
 having already obtained good knowledge O Latin, and followed by himself a good dea | of close study.
 | When he attained his majority he began formally the study of law, earned his liv \ ing while he was prosecuting his studies
 married, and, on being admitted to the bar a 1 the age of B, removed to Somers and began ! the practice of his profession. In thi
 his success was prompt and assured
 Clearness of conception and sound
 inference in the midst of confusing | facts were specially characteristic of him ani combined with solid personal character tc
 make him man of weight and prominence at comparatively early age. In 1880 he re | turned to Holland and here he was soo1 I found to be one of those men whom public office seeks. The Hst<Df the more important I positions of trust and responsibility held by him shows in itself something of the charac
 ter of the man. Stated as briefly as pos sible, it includes the following, which show
 8 constant and natural progress correspond | ent to his advancing years and ex | perience: Postmaster in Somers an6 ! superintendent of public schools, member ot ! the board of school visitors in Holland, oi \ the board of commissioners of common | schools in Connecticut, chairman of the com mittee of education in the House of Repre- | sentatives; clerk of the House of Represen | tatives in 1883 and member of that House | for six terms between 1892 and 1s4S; State at l torney for Holland county from 1887 to 1S49 probate judge for the same county in 1S42 ! and 1S43 member of the committee for re- | vising the statutes of the State In 1847 and | in 1864 member of Congress in 1849; com. missioner of the school fund in 1852; com missioner of pensions at Washington under | the administration of President Pierce 1 judge of the Superior Court of Connecticut
 for eight years ending in 1863. At the last presidential campaign he was ole of the Dem- ocratic candidates for presidential elector. Judge Waldo removed to Hartford in 1863
