CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept 23-Juror
Flarity, as we'll as the other people con-
nected with the Trefethen case who were
i'll, have recovered. There was larger
crowd present than on any previous day.
Trefethen does not appear to be specially
affected by the ordeal. Mary j. McNellis,
Ralph A. Eustis, Charles L. Davis, a
brother of the dead girl; Bertha 4. Smith
and Mrs. Susan Peake were examined
yesterday.
Charles Manser, the postmaster or
Everett, and John w. McGrath, foreman
of the mailing division of the Boston post
Office, were examined about the collection
and stamping of letters. In connection
with the one received by Mrs. Davis, pur-
porting to come from her daughter.
Bertha t. Smith, In the course of her
testimony, said that one day, when she
was In the Davis store, Trefethen and Del
tena Davis were standing on either side
of the counter, writing on piece OF paper.
Deltena picked mp one OF the pieces and
asked Miss Smith II she knew whose writ
ing il was. The witness continued: II
said IL was hers. She laughed and said 1t
was not, but Bert's. She then picked up
another piece of paper and asked me
whose writing that was. 1 said IL the
other was Bert's, that must be hers. She
said, Yes, don't they look an awful lot
alikeY / said yes; that never could tell
the difference between them"
The other witnesses who testified were
Benjamin 4. Morris, a special police
officer; Frank b. Nichols, his brother;
Walter II. Nichols, Carrie NJ Boyce of
Waltham, Henry A. Hosmes police
man; Franklin Fox and Annie Vaughn.
Miss Clara Dares came direct from

stantially corrotorated the testimony of
her aunt, who saw Tena Davis at the
corner of Ferry street and Broadway,
Everett, the night that she disappeared.
This witness also testified to seeing a
buggy standing at the corner, and when
she last looked at Tena she was moving

that he had ''got woman in scrape"
and wanted her to help him out of it. Her
reply was: II am in no such business"
Ex-Governor Long rigidly cross-exam-

her about her acquaintances and places

succeeded in finding out that large num-
ber of those who knew her or had busi-
