 Mir. Doolittle addressed the court, saying that he wished to show that the girl was not improperly influenced to make the statement she did.
 Mir. Jones replied in spirited manner, objecting strenuously to this llne of evidence.
 Judge Granger Said he would hear what the witness had to say before ruling.
 Witness proceeded-Riley came to the court room in West Haven and made an ar rangement to meet him at Howes' pavilion after the court adjourned. I found him, however, talking to Blanche's keeper in front of my house. entered the house and asked Blanche who the man in front and she replied 1t was James Riley of New York. I asked her if he was friend of hers and she said he was an acquaintance. I asked her if she would like to see him and she said she would. I then had another interview with Riley and we, Ri. ley and myself, went in and saw her.
 What was the conversation? Riley said to Blanche that he wanted her to tell all she knew. He told her that these men were friendly to her and to take their advice and cut loose from the Malleys. That was the substance of it. He advised her to discharge her counsel also.

 When did you first speak to Miss Douglass after court adjourned on Saturday at West Haven
 It was soon after the adjournment when I asked her if she would walk or take the horse cars. She said she had as leave walk. I told her that she had got herself into bad snap by lying that if she had told the truth in the first place she would not have been ar rested she ought to see now that Walter Malley would not have anything more to do with her; that now that the matter had got before the public he would naturally quit her. On the Sunday morning following was read ing paper and heard Blanche and my wife in conversation about this matter that want ed to get hold of and went into the room. made the remark That is a pretty good story told just then."
