LAWYER FOX AND THE A11B1.

Sanford's testimony, given Friday, in which the wit ness declared that he saw James Malley ,jr., few minutes before o'clock on the evening of Friday, August 5, holding horse near Redcliffe's restaurant, in Temple street. Mir Fox says: ''It is case of mistaken identity Michael Malley had 8 covered buggy that night, and dark bay horse. He is of about the height and build of James, and it was undoubtedly he who stood beside the horse near Redcliffe's restaurant on Friday even ing. When the young mans family and five or six people testify positively that he was at home that night, who shall be believed, they or the man who thought he saw James across the street2 I do not think the alibi at all affected :"

The wound on the forehead might have been the result of accident. The deceased might have had fall from steamer and received the gash before striking the water and then drowned

to say that the President will re-

the result but yesterdays indi-

hesitate to say that their patient
was on the road to recovery.
