Morning journal and courier., 1881-09-13

reason recollect the time as August 4 was because went to the drill of uniformed members of Golden Rule Encampm ent on the Friday evening following; on the Thursday evening in question went to Far Haven in the horse cars; saw good many that I knew; one person that saw was Mir. John Turner; he lives at 118 Front street this was about quarter to 8 in the evening there were some ladies visiting there from Newark, New Jersey; they came on the 1st or 2d of August; cannot say whether went to Fair Haven on the Thursday before Au- gust or the Thursday after I met MT. Mat toon on Saturday, August 6, sometime in the evening; had heard of the finding of the body and we talked about it; have no idea how long 1t was before that Thursday that I had seen the Cramer girl; it may have been a year before.
 Charles Rawlings was next called. Said he lived at 400 Chapel street I am general manager for MT. Radcliffe, my brother-in- law, who keeps restaurant on the corner of Chapel and Temple streets; I know Walter and James Malley very well: was in the res taurant on Thursday morning, August 4th !; two ladies were among the first customers; i; my best impression is that both were dressed in black had seen them there before; did not know them by name; they ate two por- terhouse steaks and mushrooms; also had three glasses of milk.
 Yes, recognize the photographs shown me as pictures of the two ladies I also rec ognize the check shown me as the one given the ladies to pay for breakfast between 10 and 10:30 the same evening saw MT. Walter Malley enter the restaurant with two ladies. who, I think, were the same that were there at breakfast am sure that one of them was Miss Douglass, but am not quite so positive about the other lady, although I think it the same that saw in the morning; when they came in in the evening they first ordered chicken salad, but we had none, and they then ordered lamb chops, which were served j; did not go into the ladies' room that even ing; I saw them when. they left and there were no other customers in at that time.
 Yes MT. Walter Malley came to see me on the evening of August II and said he had a bone to pick with me; said that there had been statement made that would be very damaging to him unless corrected; he said MT. Fox had advised him to see me at once for there was possibility of arrest told him I could not deviate from what I had seen; in the course of conversation Walter Malley attempted to show me that was mis- taken, but I told him I was positive as to what occurred on that evening :; the colored waiter came in and Walter asked him if he remembered about | the hat on Thursday evening he did I not seem to recollect about it between and | the same evening James and Walter Malley | came, together with Mir. Fox; Walter asked me if I could not recollect that it was James | instead of the lady that saw on Thursday evening told him should be guided by | the truth in the whole matter Walter asked l if could swear that it was a lady, and told I him that I could; he then turned to MT. Fo2 and said that adhered to my statement that he was there with two ladies MT. Fox re- I piled that I might be mistaken {; I did not see 1 James Malley on that Thursday evening al | all.
 1 This closed the direct evidence of the wit
 ness; and it being nearly , o'clock consul | tation was held as to a session tomorrow 1T
 the afternoon. After hearing the attorneys | on both sides Justice Booth decided to ad journ the hearing until Wednesday morning l at 10 o'clock
