 The perjury case against Blanche Douglass | first occupied the attention of the court at | West Haven yesterday morning. Justice | Booth, owing to the Malley cases being still | on, was obliged to continue the case, and it | went over until October 27th at 10 a. m.
 The Malley trial was resumed about half l past ten.
 The cross-examination of Miss Lizzie M. | Malley was the first business She replied to | the interrogations as follows: Am the eldest | of the girls did the cooking the first week in August when James came into the ktch. en Friday evening I was cooking the cakes had already made them remember them, for could hardly forget that evening; it was not usual for me to make them went away July l, and had been back about 8 week; James came to the kitchen with his hat on, and asked me for his supper; told him he would have to wait until the cakes were cooked and that Miss Healey would have to eat first he came to the kitchen door and may have come in don't remember his coming in at that time he stood at the pantry door going into the ! kitchen, having come from the dining groom; \ saw him sitting in the dining room; talked ! with him at the window when the horse car | conductor came up and father came in the yard left the cakes few minutes to talk ! with him James asked me who the conduc- tor was told him didn't know went to the ! front door and ascertained; then told him; | have found out since what car he was on | father handed me parcel; don't know for what purpose went to the front door ! don't know who the conductor is now; don't ! think told him who it was at the window | didn't tell him because I didn't know who he was don't know whether went to the door ! to find out or not; can't say whether James saw the conductor or not of course he ! wouldn't ask me to go and find out he must have seen him he asked me, "Who is that | with father?"; told him I didn't know and ! went to the door the man was standing at | the vines with father; he might have been as far as across this room from the window the window was up; it was near the center of the garden the vine is still there and ! blooming.
 Witness described the plant, where it was, | etc., and told about her seeing James at the door with a man who was conductor j; didn't remember what James and she talked about while going to the kitchen to see about the cakes James lighted the gas about when witness told him to call Miss Healey down to supper heard James say that Mrs. Maloy was coming the conductor had gone when she arrived ;S father came about six minutes after James came; 1t wasn't long-hve or. ten minutes after the gas was lit that Miss Healey was called; cooked the cakes all at | once; it wouldn't have taken me half an. hour to do SO; they were not of the kind that would spoil if not kept hot; they were. \ not griddle cakes, but potato cakes. MT. Bush inquired what other materials; went in to make up good potato cake The justice. after some questioning on the ! subject, ruled out the potato cakes as i'm A k1l., \ of the trial, and laugh all around caused.
 | Witness further amplifed her testimony | about James using towel The towel testi- mony was not very important.
 Witness testified to hearing James singing. and that Mrs. Maloy asked to witness | new watch to show to her daughter Sarah \ also other jewelry. Witness brought down ! her jewelry.
 A talk ensued between counsel, as MT. I Bush wanted to find out all about the watch, \ particularly as defense objected.
 MT. Fox said perhaps the young lady was \ going to be married and this was present in
 that direction. Why press such point
 Finally the defense withdrew objections.
 Then Miss Malley said it was present, but ! declined positively to say who gave it to her.
 q got it from friend, she said, land that's
 all will say.''
 MT. Bush persisted in asking where that
 friend lives
 I Witness decidedly declined to tell. Final
 ly the difficulty was patched up. MT. Boll-
 man suggested that the witness tell the justice ! privately. So witness agreed to tell the jus- | tice. Later she wrote it down on a piece of | paper for the justice.
 l Witness resuming said James was absent
 Wednesday and Thursday and Saturday even ! ings of that week don't remember any
 other evening of that week that he took a \ bath; I cannot remember any of the even- | ings of Tuesday or Wednesday of that ! week; I remember that James got home that
 Monday night at Il o'clock; I have endeav- | ored to refresh the recollection of no one in ! regard to testifying in this case; nor have I
 endeavored to recall to anyone's recollection \ things which they did not remember relating | to that Friday night; did not talk to Min | nie Quinn about the business-she was too \ young anyway.
 \ Finally witness said in answer to Mir. Fox :: \ I have no doubt in my mind that James was
 home those Thursday and Friday nights as I | have testifed-I don't expect to forget it, ! either.
 Miss Kate A. Malley, another sister, tes-
 ti6ed next: Reside at home I was at
 home Thursday evening, August 4; Miss

 haps three-fourths of an hour before I saw
 the carriage; took tea that Thursday about ! with Miss Healey in the dining room Liz
 zie was then in the kitchen.
 Witness testified that James was home the \ Friday evening, August 5, and gave many
 particulars to that effect; testifying that
 Mrs. Maloy and her two daughters were
 there and three other persons, substantiating her sisters testimony in substance; witness
