 wood fire was necessary at the Malley trial yesterday morning in West Haven Fans were not necessary, as was the case recently. Shivering and cold the lawyers, justice and reporters entered. The young Malleys were given summing outside before entering the hall.
 Miss Lulu Malley was recalled for cross examination. MT. Bush cross examined her. Witness testified: My brother James did not sleep at home Wednesday night, August 3; don't remember whether he was home to dinner, supper or breakfast don't remem- Der what did do Wednesday evening rec ollect Miss Healey was of on an excursion that day she was at our house Thursday morning between and 8; am positive that all of us but father and James were at home Wednesday night; I only recollect about that night that my brother was not at home he was not at home Thursday morning, nor was his bed occupied during the night I do not reco1lect anything that took place at home Tuesday evening; don't remember whether I went out Tues day evening, Minnie Quinn was there that evening, and that is all I remember; don't remember whether my brother was home to dinner Tuesday; first saw James at dinner Thursday of that week; am sure of it; we have dinner from 12 till 2 I don't remember that testified before the coroner that did not know whether James had been to dinner Thursday; am sure he was now; I don't think I did so testify be- fore the coroner's jury; I think did say then that he was home to dinner Thursday if did say he was not at home. before the coroner it was a mistake he was home be- tween 12 and 1 next saw James between 6 and 7 Thursday evening; say, now as 1 said before the coroner, it may have been or few minutes later, I won't be sure if testi- fled yesterday that it was between 6:3O and z I now desire to change it to or few min utes after.
 Witness continued: I remained in the yard after I asked James for a ride and until he took me; am positive didn't go in the house; if Miss Healey testifes that did and spoke to her she makes mistake I didn't go in until after I got back; several horse car conductors saw me saw one of them in front of the house he was youngish man and on car 28 I think; after leaving me James may have crossed from Whalley avenue; am not sure that he turned up Winthrop av enue that is the nearest way to cousin Wal
 
 throp avenue; he could have gone up Sher- man avenue to the house perhaps he would thus go 8 block out of the way; he would not go several blocks out of the way; he wasn't home Thursday night nor at breakfast Friday morning; think he came to dinner be- tween 12 and Friday; I ate dinner with my sister Katie and Miss Healey about quarter past 12; the bed wasn't touched Friday morning didn't testify before the coroner's jury that there was but one night that week in which the bed was untouched; I mentioned Thursday morning, but not Friday morning; James ate dinner Friday with father and Miss I Lizzie after I had eaten; he came home Fri { day evening after on the horse cars; was watering flowers; remember being asked by Mir. Bollman if l watered the flow | CTS Thursday and Friday evenings i; ' told him did did not testify that watered the flowers on Friday evening only; did not testify in this language, or substan- | tially this ''This morning I thought | watered the flowers only Friday evening, and | now I recollect that 1 watered the flowers | Thursday and Friday evenings ;'' did not testify that thought so think James sat on ! the step; he may have sat there five minutes ; | may have watered the flowers all the while he sat on the step; didn't go in the next 1 saw of him he was sitting in the dining | room window; 1 was still watering the flow CTS; continued watering until Mrs. Maloy | came in; he was sitting in the dining room ! window when she entered the house; she ! couldn't have seen him when she entered the house; was not sitting on the piazza, as | Mrs. Maloy testified I was standing near it with the watering pot Mrs. Maloy may have | come about half an hour after James came ; | it w6s quite awhile after; it was after father came home; when she testifes she got there l at half-past six she makes mistake my | brother came on the Westville car; my | father came on a car afterward-one of those
 that stop at Winthrop avenue; they run
 every six or ten minutes.
 ! The witness continued My sisters Katie and Lizzie and occupy the same room, and ! when say my sisters room mean the room
 we three occupy; am sure l did not say [ James was shaving in his own room, and 1
 feel as certain about my testimony before the | coroner as I do about the events of this Fri | day night in the room where James was ! shaving at the time were my two sisters, Min
 nie Quinn and five in all; when James
 left the room he went into his own room at ! about 10:20 or 10:30; I did testify be-
 fore the coroner that it was when James
 retired, but I discovered upon reading my ! testimony that was mistaken, and I now ! desire to correct my former testimony; l
 discovered my mistake when I read my testi-
 mony in the paper; I did not testify before | the coroner that after Mrs Maloy left we ! went up stairs and found James in bed; ! swear positively that did not so testify.
 When I went into Minnie's room with her | Katie was up and Lizzie was lying on the foot ! of the bed in our room; most generally some | of us go in with Minnie had no particular | reason for passing through James, room to get to Minnie's; heard her testify she was
 afraid to go through the bath room; I was I not afraid, and am in the habit of going through both rooms it was after Il when \ went through James room after left Min ! nie in her room retired immediately; James \ did not speak to me as I passed through his \ nd T cad h0r half ! hour or so later arose from my bed and ! went into his room to get pillow; I don't ! know what made me look the first time en
 tered James room at his eyes to see if they
 were closed, but did; did not see James o1
 hear from him that night after took the pill
 low; did not hear him speak to a dog ol
 ask for mosquito bar during the night.
 The next (Saturday) morning James and \ father ate breakfast together; I was up al \ the time, but can give no reason why did [ not eat breakfast with them; we were all uL { at the time except Lizzie; James left the
 house first for the store, but father went right | after him; next saw James Saturday night I at the supper hour heard from father, be- | tween II and 12 that Saturday, of the body
 of Jennie Cramer being found; I met him
 on the Green as was going down town, and | he spoke of girl being drowned, but did
 not mention James or Walters name in con
 nection with it; James and Walter came
 home. together that night; I was up wher
 they came home; if I did testify before the
 coroner that was in bed when James came
 home that Saturday night it was mistake ! I do not think James slept at home that
 night do not remember that testified be-
 fore the coroner anything about Walter com ! ing home with James that night; James, now recollect, came home before supper
 time, but do not know whether he ate any ! thing; don't remember that I testified be-
 fore the coroner that James t'slept in the
 house Saturday night, that I was in bed Sat.
 urday night and he was not at home when l retired''
 To the best of my belief James did moi
 sleep at home Saturday night, but saw him
 come in Sunday morning while we were al breakfast don't remember saying James was
 at home Saturday night have not conversed | with Minnie Quinn with reference to testify
 ing in the case; have not tried to refresh the
 recollection of Miss Harland. Witness was on the stand nearly two hours, and was easy
 and happy in her manner, and not disturbed
 or mixed up.
 Mrs Cramer, who came in while previous ! witness was testifvinp was recalled to testify
