ton, d. 9, testified that in the latter part
of January last Mrs. Farral, accompanied
by her two little boys and young man,
who the witness afterward learned was Eu-
gene Hail. moved into house 11O6 o street
southeast. They remained there about one
month. His attention was particularly at
trdcttd to the newcomers because he had
heard that a widow rented the house. and
1t seemed strange to him that young man
should be living with her. Mr.. Dunbar
also stated that his suspicious were arous-
Cd because twice when lady visitors call
cd at llOj o street southeast Hall left the
premises By way of the back gate. as
though he desired to escape observation.
AT this point bailiT was directed to
summon Eugene Hall from the witness
room, into the court room, in order that he
might be identified by Mr. Dunbar as the
man who was with Mrs. Farrall at the
house in Washington. 1t was learned that
Hall had left La Plata. and the court i'm

arrest

spirits at O'Clock the evening he was
taken sick. was given by Noel Canter

Courts Decorum Upset.
The decorum of the court, was somewhat
shattered when Matilda Wade. a typical
,
called upon to testify. The witness related
that on the night before Mr.. Farrall died
she went to the hotel and was informed by
Mrs. Farral that her husband was very
i'll.
During her testimony the witress told of
overhearing a conversation between Mrs.
Farrall and Hall. when the former re-
marked that she was having a great deal
of trouble, and Hall replied: why don't
you get rid of it-you can easily do SOP
who is this Mr. Hall?' the states at
torney asked
told me she caught off the train Matilda
made answer and she then went on to say
that several times in her presence Mrs.
Farrall had passionately kissed a napkin
Hall used at the dining table, saying, "Oh,
that sweet little fellow"
On another occasion. prior to last De-
oember, the accused said to her: In three
weeks a bright gold ring will take the
when Mr.. Farrall dies Genie Hall will step
into his SHOES"
DO You knew when that was said?" the
states attorney asked.
1T was about shocking corn time" Mrs.
Wade promptly replied. and 1t was neces-
sary for the court to rap for silence and
threaten to exclude all spectators from
tie room should the laughter be repeated.
Mrs. Wade also said that last fall Mrs.
Farrall said to her that she did not want
any more children and, in reply to query
as to her reason for making such state
ment. declared that Mr.. Farrall would not
live long and she did not care 20 be bother
ed with children after his demise.
1t was O'Clock when Mrs. Wade was
excused, and the court then adjourned I'M
til this morning.
May Hold Night Sessions.
Beginning Monday 1t Is more than prob
able that the court viii hold night sessions,
and in that instance fully ten hours daily
will be devoted to the hearing.
Chief Justice Br.scoe stated today that
the trial must reach a termination by the
close of next week, and every possible
means will be devoted to that end. as the
present term of court ends Monday morn
ing. July Is, ard both the court and the
attorneys seem to be of the opinion that it
cannot be prolonged. Therefore. before the
expiration of another week it is practically
a certainty that the public will know
whether or not Mrs. Belle Farrall is the
murderess, as the state OF Maryland is
leaving not pebble 'unturned to prove her
to be. c. F. c.
