here. MT. darrlS was SuDpoenaed 70 tesLl1y and bring before the inquest certain tele- grams on the 4th, 9th, 7th, Sth and 9th of August, directed to or signed by Walter or James Malley or John Duff.
 MT. Newton argued the right of the tele- graph company to withhold the telegrams The law on the subject was different in diff ferent States. MT. Harris desired to do what was right ln the matter, but had no right as company employe to give up the dispatch es. It was in accordal se with law that tele- grams should be held secret. The character and good name of other persons beside the senders might be prejudiced by disclosure.
 Mir. Bollnan replied, holding that it was no hardship to get the particular dispatches wanted, as they were all sent inside of a week. The dispatches were on particular subject and perhaps important to the case MT. Harris was cited as the representative of the company.
 Mir. Newton said the company favored aid ing law, if it could do so properly, but there was general principle involved.
 AS the debate was consuming time, and bid fair to be fruitless controversy, Dr. Painter suggested that time was passing and that wit nesses be heard first and the arguments after ward. Mir. Bush favored postponement and the matter went over until p. m., and MT. Harris was excused by request of counsel un- til then Following this MT. Bush and MT. BoIlman favored putting witness on the stand, and, if he refused to disclose, to make out mittimus. Thereupon MT. Newton an at bOhe0o xuo1111 ho tad to. Mir. Harris then explained that he had responded to the call of the jury, and in an- swer to Coroner Bollman said it would, per- haps, take day or two to find the dispatches asked for. They were in an immense pile of papers, the accumulation of many days. The jury finally ordered him to produce the dispatches at ? p. m.
 MT. Harris said he didn't want to evade the subpoena, but did wish to be absent if 8 cGpi0s were issued. He then launched into 8 long defense of the company. He said there was no decision in the country which would warrant such proceeding. He cited one case where the telegrams were ordered produced, but the decision reversed by the Su- preme Court. It has been ruled in England that the telegraph was under the control of tho government and that the general govern ment only had power to call for it's tele- grams The Western Union held the same thing in this country.
 MT. Newton said the case would go to the Superior Court anyway probably.
 The jury insisted on the order, and Mir. Harris went away, after admitting that he bol afk kI,o all hol 4J,o to the receptacle-or had control of it. To search for one days telegrams it would take some time. It would be impossible to pro- duce all asked for by ? p. m. unless the of- fees were closed and all hands put to the work.
 Mir. Fox appealed to the jury to permit the young Malleys to be present to hear the evidence. He thought it just and wise measure.
 MT. Bollman did not object, and perhaps their presence would be good thing, as wit nesses to be called might identify them.
 The telephone at Wilmot & Warmers was employed to reach the jail but MT. Stevens was away, and the excursion was postponed till afternoon. As it turned out, however, the boys were not sen for, because the af- ternoon session was 8 short one. The ex- psnse of the hack was an objection on the part of iurorf. MT. Fox said that need not affect the case, as the boys would meet that ex- pense.

 TERNooN.
 Mrs. Charles H. Miller, of 213 Chapel street, testified: Knew Jennie Cramer for 14 years; we were intimate, our folks called on one another; Jennie called on me last about the 26th of July; last saw her alive the Thursday before she died; was sitting in window on the Chapel street side; saw her pass the City Market at 2:45 or 3 o'clock; 8 lady was with her i; they were talking fast and walking fast in the direction of the Elliott House; couldn't really see the other lady's face, but she had on a dark skirt with gold brocaded basque; she had white hat with blue feather; I have boarded at the Austin House for some time saw girl calling herself Miss Clements she sat at the table with me three or four times am positive she is the girl saw with Jen- nie Cramer; she had on the same dress; n.y. self and another woman were talking of the Cramer case, and she seemed deeply interest ed she looked up at me with those terrible big eyes of hers saw them together Wednes- day evening Miss Douglass was dressed the

 [The testimony of the above two witnesses contradicts that of Blanche, whose knowl- edge of Jennie she limited to Thursday morn ing It will be observed that the above tes- timony brings Blanche and Jennie together down to Thursday evening. The chamber maids keyhole testimony given below seems to account for Thursday night.
