The preliminary hearing of Miss Til
| lie Cutehshaw on the charge OF murder
was heard before Squire Mason in City
Hall yesterday. There was large
crowd Of interested spectators present.
II. :. Armstrong appeared for the pros
ecntion and r. G.. McGaughy for de-
! PENDANT. A numbpr of witnesses were
examined, the testimony OF Drs. j. p.
West and Joseph Piersoll, who held the
post norton examination, being the
most important. Their testimony was
TO the effect that the wound and bruises
had not been effected by single stroke
OF an instrument, but that the injury
which crushed the skull may have been
done by a blow or by fall. Blood was
found between the scalp and brain on
both sides, and there was fracture of
the temporal bone. The other testi-
mOnY was about In line with
what has already appeared In
the REGISTER. No startling devel-
opments were made on either side. Miss
CutcbshSw was bound over to Common
Pleas Court without bail. When the
'Squire's decision was being announced
the accused smiled, apparently not
cOmprehending its meaning, but when
she was taken down stairs to DO again
placed in jail she broke into tears and
sobbed violently. Prosecuting Attor-
ney HOllingsworth was occupied in
County Court yesterday and was not
able TO attend the hearing, and 1t is pre-
sumed that the defendant was not given
bail in order 10 wait to see il any new
developments would be made. The SEN
timent OF those VINO heard the trial was
tO the effect that the testimony pro-
duced was not sufficient TO hold the
girl, but the 'Squire's action in the
premises is no doubt due to the reason
above stated.
