 How do you remember so well what hap | pened that Friday night and so indistinctly
 about what happened on other nights? Wit ! ness answered-I can account for that. It ! was because he had impressed the facts upon 1 his mind at the time and they | were fresher in his mind on that account. DARKNESS PRIsoNERs-AN ADJOURNMENT UNTIL FRIDAY.
 It was now far past six o'clock and twi- light was fast giving place to darkness in the | room. MT. Bollman asked if the session l should continue, or an evening session be held MT. Fox requested that the session continue, as two or three ladies were pa- tiently waiting outside, and had been for
 hours, to testify-Mrs. Maloy and others. The jury were very tired, and they went into | a private session. The room was cleared for
 the purpose. Walter and James Malley were | taken into a little ante e-room and cared for by
 Sheriff Peck. They were shortly after per
 mitted to take supper at the Homestead un-
 der guard. James Malley was spoken to on l the piazza by 8 gentleman. He said he
 wanted the affair probed to the very bot
 tom in justice to himself. He said he, @f
 course, wished his liberty again, but that
 they could not complain of the treatment at
 the jail. They were permitted cigars and after 8 little fresh air were taken back to the
 Hotel de Stevens, Lew Wilcox driver and
 Sheriff Peck with the prisoners. The sisters
 and father of James Maliey, jr., had a few l words of conversation with the prisoner and
 seemed to feel it deeply when the prisoners
 were obliged to go back to confinement.
