 The Malley trial will be resumed this morn ing at 10 o'clock in the Superior Court room, Judge Granger presiding. The evidence be- ing now in order the trial will become more interesting. The principal witnesses who were before the grand jury in the case were the following Asa Curtiss, Dr. Shepard, Professor Brewer, Undertaken Stahl, Dr. and Mrs. Cramer, Juror Marsden, Juror Kelsey, Justice Booth, Mrs. Klippstein, Mrs. Charles Miller and Mrs. Cramer recalled, Ruck, Platt, Hunter, Kendrick Inwood, Sykes, Hubbell, Mattoon, Dr. Painter re- called, Audley, Barrett and Hull, Sanford, Lovejoy, Twining, Marvin, Wilson, Dorsey, Gilchrist, Rawlings, Payne, Lutz, Hauser, Maltby and Countryman. The grand jury had four days work in examining the above Mr. Cassidy, the Philadelphia lawyer in the case, expresses satisfaction with the jury.
 'They are undoubtedly honest, intelligent and just. 1 have no fear but that the yer dict will be on the right side. Lawyers III NSW E1dVGn tell me CuaC Luo SEedI majority of yerdicts are right: The diff culty in securing Q panel of jurors lay not so much in the case itself as in the ex- traneous circumstances. Most of the people farmers, and at this season of the year they are unusually busy. Therefore, when 8 farmer finds himself drawn on a jury, he says; Here, I can't spare time for this, and on his way to tho court house probably reads in newspaper an account of the trial and then forms an opinion of the case. Of course he is rejected. It was on this account that so many were summoned before the jury was complete" MT. Cassidy also says: '"The strangest thing to a Pennsylvanian is his liberty. He may move around among his friends in the court room he may go outside the building and even go home. juror in Pennsylvania is upon honor when allowed his freedom. The Malley boys seem nice, gentlemanly fellows, and would be the last persons I would suspect of such crime. Blanche Douglass is very ordinary girl very ordinary, indeed"
 Among the new stories about new witnesses is one that a witness has been brought out by the Pinkerton detectives that he will tell that he saw the trio now on trial and the de ceased girl on the evening before the dis covery of the tragedy, going into Railroad Grove, West Haven shore and that he is quite positive in his identification of the par ties.
 Large audiences are expected at the trial this week.

Chip Smiths Case.

Judge Blydenburgh and Hon. T. J. Fox went to Hartford as counsel for James, 0hos Chip Smith, yho is sentenced to be hung for the murder of Policeman Hayes, of Ansonia, about year ago. The purpose of the attor- neys was to get a stay of execution. It was learned last evening that the attorneys did not see Judge Carpenter, who is confined to his house on account of serious illness in his family. There is apparently but little hope that the necessary three judges of the Su- preme Court will be found who will grant 8 stay of proceedings, although both attorneys are still hopeful The claim of counsel is that Judge Hitchcock erred in refusing to grant writ of habeas corpus inasmuch as that is @ sacred instrument and cannot be re- fused to anyone that claims that he is un- justly imprisoned. There appears to be but little hope for Smith, but his attorneys are to be commended for their efforts to save their client from felou's death, as they are working without fee or hope of reward.

over them while mother is getting Willie
ready. Oh, yes, the first two command

I'm not a heather, that I know what
is right, and with final look at the
glass Annie took up her pretty parasol
and started for Sunday School
The minister did talk about the poor
little heather when he explained the an
swers to the school Annie felt more
than ever glad that she was not one of
them. While she was thinking this, she
caught Mrs Jones, whose class was near
the one where she sat, looking at her for
a moment.

ing that there were idol worshippers even
among children in Christian lands, those
who thought more Of their pretty faces
and fine clothes than of God He went
on to speak of these things and of other
ways in which children broke these com
mandments; but Annie heard nothing
more, excepting something about their
being more sinful than the poor heather,
because they had been so much better
taught.
These were new thoughts to Annie.
She was really sensible little girl about
most matters, Notwithstanding her foolish
vanity. She went very quietly home
from Sunday School, thinking very busily
about herself and the heather children.
l am glad to say that though she did not
get cured of her fault at once, she did in
time,-and this day made beginning.
Iwonder if there are any other little
girls or boys who worship themselves in
this or any other way?-AUNT RUTH in
