and serene, but giving some attention to the evidence it relating to her in part. Her oval face, fair complexion, blue eyes, black beaver hat and ostrich plumes of red and black and half face veil were visible to most in the court room when the lawyers forms were not in the way, her seat being back of the law yers' table and near the jury Mrs. Cramer was attired in deep black, much the same as at the preliminary hearing, and sat testifying with her long crape veil thrown back and looking at times troubled and half inclined to tears as allusions brought painfully up the l memory of the deceased ; at other times quiet and composed.

 Judge Stoddard, counsel for Blanche Doug.
 lass, heard in the case yesterday, in hel
 behalf cross examining Mrs. Cramer. RIorning Session. Court opened at 10 o'clock. The cross examination of William A. Coun- tryman was resumed.
 MT. Jones -Do I understand you correctly as to the language that was given at that interview with James Malley, jr. Witness-I give it as near as I can remem- Der.
 MT. Jones-Did you talk with James about ~
 Witness-No, sir.
 Mir. Jones-Who revised the interview you had with James, if anybody?
 Witness-I presume it was Mir. Rodman the city editor, but don't know that he re vised it.
 Mir. Jones-Are you certain that you said nothing about Blanche Douglass in your ar ticle?
 Witness-I don't think did, but cannot swear to it.
 MT. Jones here produced volume of the files of the Register of the date of August G. 1881, and asked witness if he recognized it.
 Witness-I do
 Mir Jones-Look at that article and see if you identify it.
 Witness-I may have written it, but it don't seem to me that it is exactly as I wrote it.
 MT. Jones here read the article sentence by sentence, and asked witness as he pro- ceeded if James Malley, jr., made the state ments therein, especially those sentences relating to what James said of his knowledge of Jennie Cramer and Blanche Douglass, and, finally, if he did not remember the entire ar ticle as printed.
 Witness-In reporting conversations, report CTS are very apt to put in words that do not actually occur, although the sense of the in terview is maintained or the salient points of it.
 Witness continued-I don't think James Malley asked me politely to keep his name out of the paper in connection with the case, but think he demanded it. I quite sure that I did not ask him if he had been sub- poenaed to appear before the jury.
 Mir. Jones-Did you not yesterday attempt to give the whole of that interview with James Malley?
 Witness-Yes, sir, as near as I could rec ollect it.
 The next witness called was Mrs. Christine Cramer, mother of Jennie Cramer. She tes- tified as follows in reply to Mr Bush live at 179} Grand street; ny husband died on the Doth of December last; I last saw my daughter Jennie alive On the fourth of August, 1881, on Thursday it was the Thursday previous to the time her body was found; I saw her in company with Miss Douglass the last time I saw her; Jennie came in at the front door and came down the back stairs took the key and went up stairs and asked me to come up stairs as she would like to in troduce me to Miss Douglass; about ten minutes later l came up stairs and saw Jen- nie and Miss Douglass sitting on the sofa.
 MT. Bush-Had you ever seen Miss Doug lass before?
 Witness-No, sir.
 o1-
 Witness-Jennle introduced me to Miss Douglass I said, Jennie why did you not come home last night; you intended to come home at 9, as you promised me; she said she wanted to come home but could not as they would not let her; I asked her if she could not come home if she wanted to and she said no, they would not let her; I asked her if she did not think she had disgraced herself by stay ing away that night she thought, she said, that the neighbors did not know of it I said I am afraid they will find out in time; l told her I thought they knew it already that she did not come home. I said Jennie if they can keep you away at night it is best for you to look for another home I said you will disgrace your parents by staying away at night if you continue to do so we will look for another place for you that was all said and I then passed to another room and went down stairs.
 MT. Bush-Was there anything said by Miss Douglass as to where they had been
 Witness-Miss Douglass said that she wanted Jennie to stay with her and kept her at the Elliott House as it was too late for her to go to her own house; I said to Miss Doug lass, you had no right to keep Jennie away from her home. When I left the room was gone nearly half or three quarters of an hour; 1 then called to her from the door down stairs but got no answer then called again and receiving no answer went up stairs and found the door standing open and both girls had disappeared.
 Mr. Bush-Did you ever see your daughter alive after that day?
 Witness-No, sir.
 Mir. Bush-If you made a call on James Malley that day state when and for what pur- pose.
 Witness-I called at Malley's store g. at in the afternoon of the same day and inquir- ed for James Malley. I found him at the gentlemen's counter and asked him if he had seen my daughter, or if he knew where Jen nie was. I told him Jennie had disapp" ared with Miss Douglass He said he thought Jennie was all right at home I told him I thought he knew where she was and he said he would find out when Walter Malley came in, perhaps he knew where she was I said to him that Jennie complained of his keeping her out so late. Don't recollect whether 1 said night or week before. He did not give du dlSWer, Dut Luruou pdlo Sdlu LO ulm that Miss Douglass not the person he should have recommended to Jennie and did not like the looks of her He said she was all right. I told him that thought possibly she was not all right I asked him if he would be kind enough to see her home in good time that evening, and he said he did ] not know as he could as he had an engage ment to go to the shore that evening. I said ! I would go directly to the Elliott House and see if Jennie was there. He said he would I write me note if he found where Jennie | was I went to the Elliott House, reaching there between and 6 o'clock. Inoted the time by the clock at the old depot. I did not find her at the Elliott House.
 The next day I received a note from James Malley.
 Yes, I rang the bell at the Elliott House and the porter came to the door. He went and inquired but did not find her.
 A recess of five minutes was ordered at ! this point
 After recess 8 letter written by James Mall | Icy to Mrs Cramer was read as follows
