Testimony Tending to Establish the Innocence of Trefethen and Smith Several Neighbors Testify 10 Seeing
 the Former at His Store in Everett on the Night or the Murder.
 BOSTON, May 2.-The Trefethen-Sm Smith trial for the murder of Tena Davis was resumed in East Cambridge this morning. The more important testimony related to an explanation of team being rapidly driven over the bridge on the evening of December 23, when the murder was al- legged to have been committed, and the wheel tracks close to the bridge rail claimed to have been made by Trefethen's buggy.
 J. AcDuffy testified that at ten minutes past p. m., December 23, he drove his horse on a run over the bridge to where another horse of his lay sick. William Weitz and Silas c. Ellenwood testified to riding over the bridge together Christmas morning in a light wagon. They found the roadway muddy aud took the right hand side of the bridge, inside the guard; drove about eighty-fve yards, then cramped the wheel over the guard and drove on.
 By another witness, defense endeavored eo oSSouhs loi lhc ecoui SCch ot OalSci Morris going in the direction of Trefethen's store at 3 o'clock in the morning. The witness, & hackman, testified that on the morning of the 25th-not the 24th-he drove the team alluded to. It was hack and had just returned from a wedding pasty.
 Joseph Trefethen, brother of the pris- oner, corroborated the evidence of his sister, Mrs. Smith, who testified Saturday to the prisoner being in the store on the night of the night of the 23d.
 Several neighbors testified to seeing Trefetheu at his store in Everett on the night of December g about o'clock and later, and Mrs. Lindsay, mother of Trefe- then's fiance. and her son, Alexander, tes- tiied that Trefethen was at their place in Dorchester at 5:30 the same day. It re- quires about an hour and a half to make the distance between the two places. Miss Rose Lindsay and Miss Fannie Colbreck testified that Trefethen, who is engaged to Miss Lindsay, was at the Lindsay place the night of August 13, on which night Mrs. Davis claims the prisoner was with Tena.
 A private detective then testi- fled that he was employed by Trefethen to look Tena up. A woman claim ing to be a trance medium testified that girl who looked like Tena's picture called on her for consultation in the fore noon of December %.
 Here the court adjourned till tomorrow morning

SHERMAN WILL RETIRE.

The senator Wants to Give His Time
 to Editing the Letters of General
 Sherman.
 NEW YORK, May 2.-A Washington dis patch says that Senator John Sherman of Ohio will, before many months, announce his retirement from public life. This in formation comes from an Ohio man who has been recently in Washington and for years has sustained the most intimate per sonal and political relations with MT. Sher- man. Arrangements will probably be made so that Secretary Foster or some other man friendly to MT. Sherman can step into the vacant seat.
 It is stated that the publication of the letters of his brother,, the late General Sherman, will be the motive which will actuate the senator for retiring from the senate. The brothers were constant cor respondents during the years when Will liam Tecumseh was at West Point, while he watched the gathering storm of seces- sion in the military institution at Louis jana and during the eventful years of the war.
 All the letters which General Sherman wrote to his brother the latter has pre- served, and he believes they will be valua- ble contributions to the history of the na- ton.
