 On the opening of the court MT. Jones said there was question that perhaps ought to be decided in regard to holding court on next Tuesday, it being Decoration day. He said that the attorney, for the defence wer e agreed that they were willing to have court adjourn on that day.
 MT. Doolittle said that as the 3Oth of May was legal holiday and perhaps number of the jurors would like to participate in the exercises he would not oppose an adjourn ment as suggested.

 Will you state the circumstances if you recolIect them of Walter Malley being at the house on Friday night?
 1 think 1 first saw him at the office about o'clock; after registering he ordered two suppers, inquiring at the same time how soon they would be ready; I informed him that his supper would be ready in half an hour and when it was ready I informed him through a call boy he came with his com panion and went to supper after supper he escorted his lady to the parlor and returned to the office and settled his bill during the supper he ordered bottle of wine he asked me how much his bill was, and I told him $5. 75 he demurred, saying the bill was too large; 1 may state here that I was alone Mr. Whitney being absent, and I was not in the habit of fixing prices. Afterward MT Malley said he had seen MT. Whitney and he (Whitney), said he would charge him only one dollar each for supper; I then returned him (Malley) $2.75.

 Witness said he had conversation with two or three of the counsel for the defense last evening.
 MT Doolittle called attention to the sigma lures of Mrs Brown, Walter Malley and oth CTS, and claimed that those written on August Sd were in one and the same handwriting as those later. The purpose of the attorney was evidently to show that the names of Wal ter Malley and Miss A. Douglass were placed on the register by one ard the game person and for purpose.
