the parlor out into the orchard and got some
pears we stayed about quarter of an hour,
then we went and sat on the side porch for
about half an hour, and then went to the
back parlor again. Miss Lizzie and Mrs.
Malloy we're there; I stayed there until Mrs
MalIoy and her children went home.
When did you go there?
Miss Katie asked me to come up stairs and
I found James in Katies room, and he was
shaving, 1 think; there was no one else in
the room when we went up; Miss Katie and
I stayed there it was about 10 o'clock in
the evening afterward Miss Lizzie and Miss
long James stayed there, but when he went
out he went to his own room which opened
out of Miss Katie's room.
How long did you stay in Miss Katie's
room?

ties hair and then went to comb Miss Liz
zie's; then Miss Lulu asked me to comb hers
and after I finished Miss Lizzie's Miss Lulu
would not let me comb hers.
What else occurred?
I took towel and threw it at Miss Lulu.
Miss Katie said if I would do it she would
take the blame; [ first threw tidy; Miss
Lulu was quite angry when I threw the
towel and got up and talked some.

Yes, heard him say something about a
fishwoman he was in his room at the time.

Now. Minnie, why do you feel positive that
this was on Friday evening?
Because Miss Lizzie was having some
dresses made, and she was going away, and
on the next day I heard that young lady
was drowned, and on the following Monday
or Tuesday I read that it was Jennie Cramer.
Did you see James with a team on Thurs
day evening?
Yes, sir; [ saw him come home with
horse and carriage about half past or 7. AT
terward I saw Miss Lulu get into the carriage
and James was with her. They turned around
and went toward Westville, but T did not set
them return.

DO being the greater attraction. Still abou
every seat where the men sit was occupied
The women had mostly gone to Barnum's

the Quinn girl. He called attention on start

and with dignity.
The witness continuation this Frida,
evening James had his feet partly out Of

the first or second of September. James Nal

bedroom had three doors one of them lee
into Miss Katies room, in which was single
bed. The three girls slept together, but moi
all the time Mrs. Malloy left that night
between $50 and 10. I then went right w
stairs. I dressed the girls hair to accommo
date them. I think 1 looked at James wher
went through his room that night I saw
his head and face; didn't notice which side
he Law on. I am sure it was his head. II

alone that night. There were two beds il
my room and sometimes both were occupied
'sThat will do" said Mr.. Doolittle, and the
