asked him. but went when she asked him


 How do you fix the date of the 9th of Aug ust
 Because I can't forget it. One reason is my brother getting into this trouble And then my sister going away is another. read James, letters to Miss Cramer in the papers Saturday night, and knew he didn't have anything to do with it. Another reason is because had been expecting my brother, the doctor. on to take my sister away.
 Any other reason?
 Oh, I'll never forget it. This with an em- phatic shake of the head.
 This finished the direct and the cross be- gan. Mir. Bush cross examined. MT. Bush devoted considerable attention to many points in the witness evidence, and after sleges of considerable duration reverberated in the witness ear the statement that her testimony at West Haven was somewhat different. On hearing this witness was disposed to pouG | little, but was not disposed to become very | gloomy at the revelations The witness said she could not remember | anything that took place in the house Tues | I day Wednesday of that week in which her | brother James was concerned, except that l | James was not at home Wednesday night, l l and she finally admitted that she could not l tell single incident that happened in her house any night that week except Thursday \ and Friday nights. I She said that on the Thursday and Friday nights she was doing the cooking, the regular l cook being away, and thus the events testi- ! fled to were more strongly impressed on her mind. She did not recollect testifying in l West Haven that she had been doing the | cooking all that week On Saturday evening l of that week, between 7:30 and s, James and ! Walter drove up together in Walters carriage | and both came into the house, James first. ! The witness at the time reading paper. ! The two did not stay long, seeming to come | on particular errand, and drove off to- ! gether. She did not remember testifying ! differently at West Haven.
 On that Friday evening as James sat in the 1 dining room he looked out and saw his father ! and the horse-car conductor come into the
 front yard James asked who the man was,
 and the witness, after going to the front
 door to take a parcel from her father, came
 back and sad he was 8 conductor on the
 horse cars.
 James knew these conductors better than ! you, didn't he Mir. Bush asked. | l am not supposed to know horse car con- ductors, the witness replied
 l I don't mean the question an insult ! only want to know if James wasn't riding
 often on the horse cars and if he wouldn't be
 very likely to know all the conductors. He might ride often and not know the con- ! ductors, the witness said.
 MT. Bush returned again and again to the
 attack, scrutinizing closely notes before him, and then with uureaxed energy lnqulrlng \ afresh of the witness to expose any discrepan \ cies there might be- The court room yawned,
 as it was close work following the minute I points under question. It was good piece of l cross-examination, refecting credit on the
 examiner, though necessarily lengthy. ! After variety of questions it was learned from witness that she had her sister Katie's
 company at the table. Witness continuing F said I can't tell exactly how long it was after left the table that James went up stairs he left it before I got up. After leaving the table I went into the back parlor. ! Mr. Bush questioned further as to who was t I in the house. where the parties were and
 what they were doing. Witness continuing \ said she sang some and played some in the parlor. Her sisters and the Malloy children \ went out and witness and Mrs Malloy were v left in the parlor Yes 1 heard Miss Healy' I testimony about the green pears which Katie \ and Lulu, etc., brought in and about their t throwing them away. While and Mrs. Nal
 Joy and others were in the parlor some dress \ es were brought down stairs. This was at v the time the children were out.
 When were the dresses shown, before or V ! after they went into the orchard ? I think it ! was before.
 e While the rest of the party were out in the 8 orchard you heard James call for towel ?
 Yes, sir.
 n Now what did he say? He called for a f towel.
 J. Give me his language just as near as you e can. He asked for towel.
 Oh, yes, but repeat his language. He t said: "Lu, bring me some towels.' Il The towel topic occupied few more min n ! utes and then the witness was asked if she e \ heard her sisters testimony, that was that l James called Lulu and said to her, ''Get 8 v pen for father," and next said "Get me some f towels
 Mr. Jones to court-Your honor is this of v any consequence? The court-I don't see how I can rule it out.
 ! Witness said this did not change her recol- ! lection.
 A recess of five minutes ensued
 Recess over, witness resumed her seat and { sat waiting for further denouements. 6 MT. Bush continuing asked witness what b stairs he went up to go to his room and if \ witness heard the batter of his footsteps as l. | he went,-in short if she knew that he went l. up stairs. Witness said that she knew he
 went up and that it was an error to think
 that she left James sitting at the table, MT. ! Bushs question indicating that the latter n 1 view had been previously testified to. Mir. a Bush asked witness with slow, deliberate t tones if she would not like to change her . testimony. Witness said she did not. V Then Mir. Bush read from testimony which r he said was witness testimony at West Ha- ! ven and which was that she left James sit # ting at the table, Witness said she did not a l so testify.
 S Mir. Bush pressed witness, asking her if 2 1 she probably did uot recollect better about Q it at the West Haven trial than she did now, r and then asked her if she would swear that n she did not so testify at West Haven. Wit @ ness would not swear, but repeated her claim X that she was right now and wasn't right then . ] or that she didn't testify so at West Haven. @ MT. Bush left this point and asked where V l next she heard of James. Witness said she next heard James call for 8 towel and next d l heard him singing. Witness looked as if she | ,rr1S fIax rl,ol1
 uninteresting proceeding, but to be submit 1 ted to with resignation, and being an attract I i've woman, and perhaps conscious of being
 quite richly dressed, and possessed of 0 fair S degree of presence of mind and personal at-
 fractions she bore the infiction with good
 grace and looked tolerably amiable at MT. 1 Bush, and as if she harbored no resentment r toward any of the lawyers. e Witness further testified that all three q young ladies had gone to bed-or retired.
 MT. Bush, altering the phrase, said--At the l time James wanted pillow. @ You were awakened by quarreling about I a towel and sent the girl off to bed? Yes, | sir.
 |; You sent Lulu again for 8 pillow? Yes, : sir.
 And two or three hours after you got up
 and turned down the gas in your room? Yes, , l sir.
 And James called for mosquito net ? Yes ? sir.
 And you told him there was only one in the
 house? I think I said there was only one I and that was fathers bed.
 And still James called for mosquito net
 ting that night? Yes, sir. v Had he ever called for one before Yes
 several times.
 s When were those times? Oh long ago.
 Last summer? Perhaps it was. He called
 for one several times in other places r You remember supplying him with mosqui-
 to nettings before? Yes, when we lived in
 York street.
 They moved from York street up to this : place Yes.
 And when they lived in York street you were able to supply him as then you had more than one in the house Yes, sir. You saw him go out of the gate and you were in your fathers room? Yes, sir Where was Katie? I don't recollect. 5 Who lit the gas Friday night in the dining , room? James.
 By your request? Yes And when ? Friday evening. 3 What time? It was before Miss Katie , came down stairs.
