Raw lings, manager at Redcliffe's, and John Henry, the waiter who was in attendance at the tables on the night in question John Henry's testimony was closed shortly after p. m. John Henry's eyes had a furtiye and somewhat melancholy expression as he re- garded the legal array at the lawyers tables and he had an air of meek resignation as also of close observation. Attorney Doolittle after dinner exhibited and explained to him diagram of the restaurant which he exam lned with dutiful attention, making replies which were ready and exact and though awed somewhat by the court he was quite self pos sessed as became one used to waiting upon the orders of gentlemen. Mr. Doolittle hay ing finished with the witness John Henry 1 took occasion to cast @ searching glance about him previous to getting into the | clutches again of the opposition lawyers, as l if to see if they were disposed to further cross examine him. John Henry had but slight chance to make any answers to the cross examiners for some time, because the questions asked were objected to and the lawyers had an animated barley together be- fore the witness was permitted to reply. l Having replied he was released. MT. Edward Malley sat with his son Walter, and beside him sat Mr. Nicely, Mir. Edward Malley's partner, and close by were Dr. O'Malley and other friends. number of lawyers, some younger, some older, sat around in1 the neighborhood of the reporters tables, and, as usual, every seat in the spectators depart ment was occupied, including all the seats de- voted exclusively to the fair sex ] Morning Session. l Court opened promptly at 10 o'clock
