 Rose AmbIer Clark. 1 Continuation of the COrOner's Anques. |" Regard to her Death-COrOner HoII Oe- clfnes to Admit RePorters-b1Jan and His Dog Guard the 6mtfaAco HO | the Jurv RoOm-The Lover of Rose on 1 the Stand-No New Light Thrown Upon l STAMFORD, Sept. 12.
 This morning at 10 o'clock the hear
 ing by the coroner's jury who are trying to
 ascertain the cause of the death of Rose Ambler Clark, was resumed at Dr. Moneys
 residence in Stratford. It was stated on the | day previous that Coroner Holt would take
 charge of the case and that he would prob ably admit reporters to the ahearings. This
 statement brought large numbers of repre-
 sentatives of the press to this quiet town this
 morning and they hurried from the depot to
 Dr. :Nooney's residence expecting to be promptly admitted to the 'inner court of
 the temple" In this they were disappoint-
 ed, for on reaching the doctors residence
 'sBijah," the town constable, with the doctors
 mas.tff t'Lady," guarded the entrance and
 none were admitted. They were, however,
 permitted to enter the spacious hallway of
 the doctors residence and look at the wit nesses as they entered. The witnesses as they entered the hallway gazed wonderingly at the array of reporters present, apparently considering, and with good deal of common sense, what brought so many stupid look ing fellows together.
 Dr. M O. White of this city, who was sum-
 moned to explain what he had found, put in an appearance early in the morning and not having finished his investig ations proceeded to an upper room in Dr. Moneys residence where he continued his microscopic examlna- ton of the clething of the deceased woman for blood spots and for the purpose of ascer- taining if she had been outraged.
 The first witness called this morning was Frank JelIiffe, who resides in West Stratford. He was in the jury room but a short time. He testified to seeing, on the Sunday night Rose left the Lewis residence alive, o'clock, in the vicinity of where the body was found. The only description he can give of him is that his form was stopped. He thought he was 8 coIored man !; that he wore 8 stiff Derby shaped hat; that he was going from the di- rection of the Lewis residence to Stratford; and that he wore a bob-tailed coat. Jelliffe was in such hurry that evening to get to his home that he did not pay particular at- tention to this individual and only gave him a nasty glance as he passed.
 The boy Edward W. Bartram, who was re- turning home that Sunday night and who, since the body was found, related to friends kI T.. Doc Ar,oEo law wu,Sfh hot Sunday night, was examined. He now claims he was mistaken in his opinion as to who the parties were, and told the jury that the per sons were Charles H. Wolfe and his niece, Miss Anna Kabiersky. These people were brought before the coroner and young Bar tram fully identified them as the persons he saw MT. Wolfe and his niece added that they passed the point where Bartram saw them.
 The parents of William Lewis were called for the second time. They corroborated in a measure the testimony they had previously given, but there was a slight difference re- garding the time that their son went to bed after parting under the grape arbor from Rose. Still Coroner Holt said that ill the matter of time they might easily be mis- l taken on a few minutes At their first ap pearance before the coroner's jury Mrs. | Lewis claimed that she was in her bedroom at 9:2O that night. To-day her husband as- | serted that he went to the bedroom at 9:20, ] but that his wife was in the room many min | utes before that time-probably about 8:45-
 At noon the hearing was adjourned until l 1;3O p. m. The reporters, detectives and | out of town officers connected with the in quest adjourned to the little grocery about 8 quarter of mile below Dr. Nooney's, where | they indulged in crackers and cheese and | small beer for a s'dinner." A great deal of l chin music was indulged in at the country l 0rnnaru natanfiVea and CnurE 0ffinara were ! and d1agged hither and yon by | the newspaper scribes and all sorts of stories l were told to them, but'so varied in character that it was extremely difficult to get atthe | facts as brought out before the coroner's | jury. |
 After lunch the corps of attendants return 1 sd to the residence of Dr. Mooney and the l inquest was resumed under the direction of l Coroner Holt,
 William Lewis the lover of Rose was put | upon the stand and was subjected to a most | thorough examination. He gave in detail | his meeting with Rose on the night preesd- ing her murder and answered the questions | put to him by Coroner Holt without hesita- .ion. In reply to questions by the coroner, l Lewis said he had never had any undue fa- | niliarity with the murdered woman, either | before or after her marriage with Amber. l He also said that he never knew of her being | n an interesting condition" Other points |
 
 both before and after the body vas found. He said that the first ime he heard of Roses death was tt Birmingham on Monday morning about 10 o'clock, when he was informed of he fact by Q Mrs. Roberts He said he 1oubted the statement at the time, but was finally compelled to believe it. Lewis testi nony was not concluded until o'clock, and | when he came out of the jury room he wore pleasant smile and put on an air of self | confidence, chatted with friends in the hall and departed.
 Coroner Holt said after Lewis evidence was concluded that he did not see that his threw any new light on the murder.
 The last witness called in the afternoon vas John Powell. He testified that he vas familiar with Boston Whites footsteps, which vas ''shufding gste," and he thought he recognized 8 similar walk of 8 person who passed his house on the night of the murder. Ie said the walk was not at all like William 1ewis', which was more 'sprightly."
 At 4:2O the hearing was adjourned until Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock.
 After adjournment Coroner Holt said that here was nothing in the evidence thus far hat threw any light upon the murder. He urther said that he had no farther evidence 'f importance to produce except that of Dr. 1 I. c. White, who will testify as to his micro copic investigations.
 It is plainly evident that the authorities lave not as yet got any clue to the murder IT, and whether they will ever be successful l n bringing the guilty parties to justice is question to be answered in the future.
