ume. Inc two Malleys were greatly dly lyerted by the amusing testimony in the afternoon of the hearty, energetic, honest German who keeps the flying horses at West Haven, and made many absurdly incongruous answers, arising from his imperfect command of the idioms of the English language. Considera- ble speculation is rife regarding the coming evidence for the State, as whatever is to come will be due to day or to morrow. Morning Session. Court opened yesterday morning at 10
 o'clock.
 The first witness called by the State was William E. Hunter. To Mir. Bush he said live in PlantsvilIe

Could not say whether he I sat down or not; thought the ladies that were with him sat down. saw a party of 1 four, two ladies and two gentlemen. I Where did you see the party you speak off | I saw them riding on the horses. There were two ladies and two gentlemen. One of l the gentlemen appeared to have been drink l ful; 1t was the one saw on the beach dead. 1 Did you or either of tho ladies say any 1 thing? I heard this lady say, My God, am par l alyzed.''

Yes, I saw him going toward Hales restau- ] rant. He appeared to be intoxicated he wore blue suit and I think cap heard l him swearing about the woman that rode with | him and then went off and left him. Did you see anything more of the party that night? Do you mean to say that seeing the dead l face of person on the beach, you could rec ognize it as person you had seen the night
 before, although that person was perfect stranger? Yes, think so Mir. Jones questioned the witness at length in regard to his recollection of faces that he had seen but once. Mrs. Jane Kendrick was called and interro- gated by Mr. Bush. Witness said she wes at Savin Rock with Mir. and Mrs. Hunter on Saturday, August 9th. saw the dead body of lady on the shore that morning. MT. and Mrs. Hunter were with me at the time.
 Did you recognize the body as that of 8 person you had seen before? Yes, sir, I saw the person the night before
 
 the side of the horses when I first saw her :; she was in company with others there were two gentlemen and Q lady in the party. saw them get on the horses; one of the gentlemen and one of the ladies rode in the box behind the horses while the other lady, whom took for Miss Granaer, with the other gentleman, rode on the horses in front.
 How was the lady that you thought was Miss Cramer dressed
 She was very prettily dressed in white
 Did you observe anything particular that she wore?
 I recollect that she wore ring to which bangle was attached.
 A recess of two minutes was taken at this point
 After recess the cross examination by MT. Blydenburgh was commenced.
 Witness described the dress of the entire party on the horses as near as she could. She told what the woman said about being para lyzed and said that she presumed the reason she said it was because she was in danger of falling and I thought she would fall. I thought she must have been drinking. She was talking very loud and was rather bolster ous and different from the rest of the party She said she was dizzy and wanted the horses stopped. Witness said she thought she saw the same man that was on the horses with Jennie Cramer at Savin Rock the next morn ing The remainder of her evidence was corroboratlve of that Of the previous witness
 Mrs. Matilda Inwood of Hartford, was next called. In reply to Mr. Bush she said: was at the West Haven shore on the 5th and 9th of August last. I saw the body of a young lady on the shore on Saturday morn ing, I think about 6 o'clock. I recognized the body as that of 8 woman I saw on the flying horses the night before about twenty minutes of II, as near as can recolleet. There was nobody on the other horse oppo- site where she sat, but there was gentleman and lady in the box just before the horses.
 Have you ever seen that gentleman since :?
 Yes, sir.
 Do you see him in court now?
 Yes, sir, it is the one beside the one with glasses on. (Referring to James Malley.- REP
