MORE CORY DETAILS
FURTHER EVIDENCE IN THE ALON-
70 ROCKER MURDER TRIAL.
Some Discrepancy I'm the Testimony
of James Parker-MOther's
Love for Children.

There was some argument over the testi-
mony of James Parker in the Rocker case
yesterday morning. Friday evening the wit
ness testified that Emma PEGS exclaimed:
MY God, he's cutting us to pieces" as
she ran from the Rhode Island-street house.
Yesterday morning the attorneys for the
defense succeeded in getting in a part of
the coroner's report. 1t was shown that
Parker, before the coroner, had said Mrs.
PEGS uttered the exclamation while across
the street The testimony of the witness
differed in one or two other minor points.
Mrs. Katharine barrow, matron of the In
dianapolis Orphans Home, testified yester-
day morning. The witness said that in 1893
Maggie Rocker brought two of her children
to the home. She appeared to think great
deal of the children and often visited them.
bringing fruits and other delicacies to them.
The witness said that Rocker called at the
home once to see his children and talked
Of providing for them. He failed to do so,
however.
Eveline Glenn, colored woman living at
No. "a Rhode Island street, recounted the
CORY details of the tragedy as she had
seen them. The afternoon of the murder
she saw Rocker walking on Rhode Island
street near her house. He passed back and
forth several times. Later she was at
tracted by the cry of murder and the
screams Of women. She ran out to her
gate and looked over toward the house
where the tragedy occurred. She saw one
woman run out at the front door. The
blood was flowing from the woman's face.
She was followed by another woman who
had her hands to her throat. This was
Mrs. Rocker. The witness saw her last as
she lay on a stretcher in the commons.
T. w. Henderson, colored, of No. %
Rhode Island street, corroborated other wit
nesses as to the appearance of Mrs. Rocker
when she ran from the house mortally
wounded. The witness followed the MUIR
derer until he boarded a car at Blake and
Elizabeth streets. and saw him hand some
thing to the conductor.
Burrel Russell, a jantor at the City Hos
pital, testified that he tried to assist Mrs.
Rocker to the hospital. She came out of
like drunken person. He caught her by
Mrs Rocker walked very slow. The blood
was flowing in torrents from the wound
in her throat and her clothing was blood
soaked. About half way to the hospital
Mrs. Rocker sank down on her knees with
the cry: Lord, have mercy" Witness went
after stretcher, and when he returned
Mrs. Rocker could not speak. She died after
being placed on the stretcher
AT the request of the attorneys Judge
McCray adjourned court at noon The trial
will be resumed Monday morning at 10
o'clock. The State expects to finish its
testimony Monday or Tuesday.

VIII for IT.

new and somewhat novel proposition
OF law arose yesterday in the Circuit Court
In the suit of G. S. Pittman against the es-
tate of Mary B. Coffin. The claim amounted
TO $50. and was for groceries purchased by
the decedent in 1887. The claimants adj
mitted that the account had been "out-
lawed," but held that the clause of the
decedent's will providing that "all of her
just debts should be paid" made the claim
good. A similar question has been decided
in the English courts, and the reports show
that the supreme courts of some of our
States have passed on it. Judge Brown
says the question is new one in Indiana
