which was yellow cover. The candles wore
yellow, with yellow shades, and the candelabra
stood on yellow plush mats. The ladies, dressed
in yellow, were presented with gilded PALM

ST. LOUIS, MAY 27.-Maxwell was
again on the witness stand to-day and
testified that he had never made any
agreement with Detective Mccullough,
his jail companion, about his defense.
"But how about his testimony" inter-
rupted Mr.. Fauntleroy. sin which he
stated that you confessed to having muir.
dered Preler because he would not fur
nish you money to go to AucklandW
His whole statement" replied the wit

Mann which be says he wrote to me, I'M
til it was produced in court. l never
tried TO secure false witness, nor to
manufacture bogus defense"
On crOss-examinatiOn Maxwell said he
had assumed the name of Maxwell IN
England Immediately after leaving his
fathers home. The prosecution drew out
OF him an admission of the falsity OF a
good many OF the stories he had told of
himself TO people ne had met in his
travels, and whose testimony has been
gwen on the present trial. Some OF his own
statements in his confession and his di-
rect testimony were also shaken, but be
explained that liquor drinking had some
thing to do with his bOastful habit and
cracked stories. Some OF his Vagaries
and forgeries he described as intended for
Jokes.
