Iand-POlka Dots and Blue Bands
Music and Singing-The Testimony of
Big Annie-Chops without Tomato

The S1alley trial reopened yesterday at 10
o'clock. The testimony was mainly in sup
port of the alibi claim and was of varied
description. Quite galaxy of young ladies
and relatiy les and friends fanked Walter and
James Malley, who with these surroundings
seemed to be half inclined to be gay. The
testimony of Big Annie late in the afternoon
was very amusing. Looming up like sun
flower as she came into court, she command
ed at once marked attention, and looking like
q small edition of the Bunker Hill monument
she took the witness stand and awaited what
the lawyers had to offer.
Mr.. Doolittle's. cross examination was free
and easy and mastery. The witness an
swered as readily as if lawyers were only
men anyhow and not likely to hurt her, and
her quick, ready answers were frequently
| touched with the mother wit of ''the old
sod" and seemed to touch the spectators al
most as good circus some of the time.
MIR. Doolittle charged upon the witness time
after time; then diverted her attention by
side issues and returned to the charge to
catch her, but the witness came up fresh and
smiling at every round and stood the teasing
fire of questions rapidly poured upon her
| with homely good grace and admirable good
nature, making frequently very shrewd an
swers. e....
