CAMDEN, N. j., Feb. G.-When the third
day Of Chalkley Leconey's ordeal com
menced the prisoner looked as though he
had passed an anxious night James Le.
coney, the murdered girls father, greeted
the prisoner warmly, and took his usual
seat close by him. William 2. Osler. who
made the maps Of the locality in Leconey's
neighborhood and house, was recalled. His
testimony was in reference to some blood
spots and footprints in the vicinity. These
footprints cover the route the state claims
Leconey took after the murder when he
went to Smiths house and told him he had
quarreled with Annie and hurt her, and
Smith was to keep Garrett Murray's mouth
shut; also the route he took on his return.
DR.. d. II. Bartine, Of Merchantville, then
took the stand. He visited the house the
morning Of the murder and made an ex.
animation Of the wound. He did not ex-
anime the lower part Of the body. The
