Yes, sir.
 That ls all, said Mir. Jones'
 A recess was ordered at this point until 2 o'clock
 Afternoon. On the reopening of court in the afternoon it was fully expected that the question of the admission of Blanche Douglass confession would be argued at length and the court room was crowded but MT. Case had con- ference with MT. Doolittle, and it was agreed to leave the question to the court. The court ruled out the confession as follows don't think the testimony be admitted, for it strikes clearly opposed to all the rules of the law. The confession should have been ma freely and vountarils This testimony was pois ned at ths fountain by the iniu brought to bear although what was ne was done from the best Of m tives, of anyone all that was done was done with a cd object in view. There is doubt in my mind that the girl was induced to tell this second story from the influences at were brought to bea her That brings within the rule ding this sort of test mony and I accot dingly exclude 1t. Wm. Twining was then called. He is the young man whom the State could not find when wanted. He came yesterday from Brooklyn, N. Y. He testified as follows I re- side at 161 Temple street. knew the late Jennie E. Cramer. had bought cigars of her at the store. I saw her on Friday, Au gust 5, with young man on Temple street. I don't know who the young man was He had on straw hat with blue band with little dots. I was near Hatstatt's store The girl was little past me when I saw her and nearly opposite on the other sidewalk. It was about an hour after dinner. I saw the couple for almost twenty or thirty yards.
 Mr. Blvdenburgh cross -examined-The witness said: testified at West Haven that saw her at the shore before I saw her that Friday. was present at conversation at Hatstatt's store when hush money was talked about. Persch was present.
 Do you know bartender at Harry Blox- ham's? No, sir.
 Didn't you have conversation at Blox- hams? No, sir.
 Mir. Doolittle-What's the object of asking that?
 Mir. Blydenburgh- as to show that there he said he would try to make & stake out of this case.
 The question was again put and witness denied ever having said anything of the kind.
 Mr. spaulding, the druggist on Church street, was recalled and Mir. Doolittle began questioning him and Mr. Case objected, say ing he recalled him and he was his witness. The Spaulding entry book was produced. Mir. Case wanted to see the entry for himself, and went up and looked at it.
 Mir Doolittle wanted to know why.
 Mr. Case jestingly said-By your ingenu- ity you might change what's on the book. Iaughter.)
 Mr. Spaulding, at direction read the items of account that he had ever had with Walter Malley. They were as follows:
 31st, 's1 to emulsion of cod liver oil 33 cents Feb 3rd, to two prescriptions, 95 cents. March 21, pills, 50 cents.' MT. Case asked-Are those all the entries you ever had against Walter Malley? Mir. Spaulding said that once he bought some chloride of potash. Mir. Case said he would ask but question more and asked witness as to acids Walter bought, and if they were not used for test | ing cloth. cloth nitric acid is; it is used with regard l to testing indigo blue; I know only from I reading about it. Shown indigo blae by MT. l Case Witness recognized it as the right substance.
 1 Cross-examined by Mir. Doolittle-The l charge for chloride of potash is two or three years old. I don't know whether chloride of
 potash is ever used in preparing arsenic not. I am not an expert. l said yesterday
 that carbonate of potash was used in making 1 Fowler's solution. l MT. James H. Peck, deputy sheriff, re- called and exhibited the famous Blanche
 Douglass handkerchief, which it was claimed | Blanche had in her lap when she was testify | ing in West Haven, and which mad some
 memoranda on it for her guidance as to cer- l tain points to testify to, which had been fur 1 nished her by the Malleys. Mir Where did you first see it /? At | my house in West Haven It was given me
 by James Riley (who was called Blanches lover).
 When? The second Monday after Blanche
 Douglass confession. A little amusing
 colloquy here ensued between Mir. Doolittle and Mr. Jones as to who should have the last
 word
 Witness-Yes, that is the handkerchief
 went to New York after. After she told me about the handkerchief went to New York
 but did not find it, and Riley brought it to me at my house the next morning. | Was there any memoranda on the handker- chief? Yes
 Mir. Doolittle- said she could not read
 writing.
 MT. Case-Your witness said 50. l Mir. Doolittle-He said she couldn't write | Zimmerman.
 Mir Case-T object to the declarations of Blanche Douglass in regard to the handker- chief I ask it in accordance with the ruling I of the court 1 Court ruled it out.
 Did she have handkerchief in her hand
 at the coroner's jury? Yes, sir. 1 Is this the handkerchief? (Holding up l soiled handkerchief) It is. (One of the
 counsel said it looked soiled) Mr. Doolittle-Thats pretty well soiled,
 but it has been in many hands since she had l it.
 l Mr. Case-Been in the hands of the State; l been soiled as other evidence has been in the l same way. (L.ughter.) l Mir. Doolittle said-I propose to call the
 attention of the court and jury to what is
 written upon the handkerchief. | MT. Case-But that is just what shall ob- l ject to.
 The question being submitted to the court, I the court decided that if there was anything written upon it it should be read, but any
 declarations made by Blanche Douglass were I according to the ruling not to be used against l her.
 Mir. Doolittle said, regarding the marks, 1 letters and figures on the handkerchief, that
 it was somebody's duty to explain how they | came there.
 l MT. Case said-Not at all. I The court said the marks, etc., must be connected with Blanche Douglass; otherwise
 they could not properly come in. 1 Chief Justice Park, who tried the Hayden 1 case, was on the bench seated with Judge | Sanford.
 1 MT Doo)ittle-I think it says on the hand | ksrchief:
 ''131 East 34th street Gaston." 1 Mir. Case-T understand that must be con- 1 nected with Blanche Douglass to make it valid | evidence.
 Mr. Blydenburgh inquired what was on it, asking to have it read again. MT. Doolittle said-I think it reads s'131 East 34th street Gaston" Gaston is written underneath.
 The handkerchief was now passed around to the jury who each iu turn examined it closely This occupied few minutes Then Mir Doolttle inquired of Mr. Peck:
 To whom did you give the handkerchief Mr. Peck said he couldn't tell 1t was to somebody connected with the investigation. MT Doolittle to defense-You may inquire.
 Nobody inquired anything and witness was excused.
