E16 L0SL1utu. 1 am a horse car driver on the West Haven road; Albert Massure. the witness who has testified, was the conductor on my car last August; I had known Jennie Cramer by sight for five years. She came on board my car on the noon of Thursday, August 4. l did not see her when she first came on the car; we were several minutes behind, and when the conductor didn't start up the car I looked around and saw her get off and go up Chapel street past Snow's confectionery store. When we got nearly to Spaulding's drug store the bell rung for the to stop, and saw her running up to the car. She got off at the Rock with four or five others. She walked away from the car to the right of
 the rock as if she going around it by the
 driveway. From the Rock to the grove
 where the flying horses are is about quar-
 ter of mile. I came back on the same car;
 Jennie was not on board. The car left the
 Rock at 20 minutes of 1 o'clock. The next car left sixteen minutes later.
 Eugene Schatz testifed-I reside in filling
 town. I am an organ tuner and worked last
 August at B. Shoninger's On Tuesday, Aug ust 4, left the organ shop with four other
 tuners to go to Savin Rock. We bought tickets at Spaulding's drug store and then ter. As we got through drinking the car
 started and we ran out. It had got around
 the corner. I and Robinson and Mir. Gates

 car.

Cross examlned-The picture of the girl l
 was shown me about two month afterward | l It was photograph four or five inches long l 1 You remembered how she looked for two months, and when the picture was shown l you you had no trouble at all in recognizing l her ] Witness assented. 1 Witness-There was 8 soda fountain at l Spaulding's We went back to Klock's be-
 cause we had a Canadian quarter and as l Spaulding would not take it we went up there l to shove it onto Klock.
