THE DELADsos TRIAL.

I morrovv-McCullyss Cross Bxamlna- ton still Unhnished.
 The trial of Edward L DeLsdson, charged with keepings disorderly house ct 63 Orange street. and Alice M. Jacobs and l Jennie l.. Bodge accused of frequenting l the same, was resumed in the city court | before Judge Cable yesterday morning at Il o'clock. The court room was again crowded to sutfocation, a large number of those present bsing Yale students who manifested deep interest in the proceed ings. The session only continued about two hours and at 1 o'clock court adjourned until Il o'clock tomorrow morning.
 The session commenced with the cross examination of Robsrt B. McCully, the de- tective employed by the Law and Order league. His direct testimony was com pleted Tuesday afternoon and was very much against the character of DeLsdson's l restaurant and It's frequenters. | The cross examination commenced as follows. The drift of it is indicated as follows:
 "Hsve you any other name besides Mo- Cullyp'
 ''Yes, sir; several"
 "Gtvs us ono or two of them"
 "Robert McCully."
 "What's the second?"
 "Robsrt Bunyan."
 "What's the third?"
 "Jsmes Walters" | "What's the fourth?"
 "Have not got to that1"
 "Are you surs you have not gone by any other name?"
 "I have not"
 | "You are sure, are you?"
 "You had some memorandum on cards yesterday"
 "Yes. I did"
 Produce them, plsaee"
 Judge Cable ruled out the cards.
 "What is your real name, then.'
 'Robert Bunyan MeCully."
 "Where were you born?"
 "Ssckett's Harbor, N Y."
 "Did you ever testify in another case that you were born in Fultona"
 "No, sir, have not"
 Judge Cable ruled this line of inquiry out as immstsrial and irrelevant. Attor- ney Goodhart held that he had a right to know something about the witness antecs. dents in order to impeach and rebut his testimony.
 In questioning this witness about his different occupations, Attorney Goodhsrt brought out that the witness was for three ! years in the employ of the New York So cisty for the Suppression of Vice. Witness | said he terminated his connection with that society iu September, 1893. Since Octobe, ! of last year he said hs had b,en employed } l by the Connecticut Law and Order league and had made his headquarters here. H. registered st the Aldrich house when h, came hers as "Robert Bunyan," doing st to protect hims.1f az he had some detective work to do. Further inquiry as to thu |, kind of work he was to do was ruled on by the court.
 Attorney Goodhart drew from the wit ! ness that he had in his possession card with his alias, ''James Walters," on them wrangls ensued over the possession o } the cards. Attorney Goodhart wanted tn witness to produce the cards, but tn court ruled that he need not. Witnes admitted that so far as he knew "Jame ! Walters" was purely fictitious. It was also brought out that MoCull.. had stopped at the Arlington under tn name of James Walters, and at the Mono . pole as Jay Walters. Judge Gable put stop to this line ( 8 inquiry, whereupon Attorney GoodhaI ]. took another tack, asking the witness l. he drank whisky. b Question ruled out. J. Then Attorney Goodhart asked the wi g ness if he had not testified in anothe y case that he never drank whiekey. Wi r. ness replied he had not, but admitted thf t, he had sworn that he had not drank an s- liquor in twenty eeven years Attorne s- Goodhart then asked McCully if he dran 'e whiskey now. McCully answered that did not and that he did not drink tl
 whisksy that he ordered at DeLadson's.
 Witress said that he began his invest gation at DeLsdson's on his o sn respo
 sibi1ity. He was not told to get eviden
 against the plscs. After he had mai
 two reports about 1t to Secretary Thras
 CT, the other detective of the league, Jot
 Luge; went to DeLsdson's. Attorney Goodhart after considerat maneuvering succeeded in getting NJ - Colly's memorandum cards in ss evlden
 and he then proceeded to examine the vi
 ness upon the notes. Coming down
 the witness knowledge of the kind of
 place DeLadson kept he aeked the witne
 if he saw anlthirg wrong on the part
 anybody in the place on the occasion Of
 visit to 1t on January 167 To this the " . ness answered "No." ! At this point court adjourned until
 morrow morning at II o'clock, when
