lasted all afternoon, and the brothers
will have to answer at the March term
of court for the murder of Eyre. Ur
to the last witness 1t looked as If the

most remote way with the murder, but
the last witness created the greatest
sensation that has been yet injected

ness was Miss Mary Cohen. of Will

Pierce came to the house on Tatnall
street, Wilmington, in which she lives
on Friday, Dec. %, and called her to
the parlor, and that after supper they
went out together when Pierce bought
her a watch and some other articles.
Continuing her testimony the girl said
Pierce remained all night, and during

In 1t. was sunk about two feet from
the place where the body was sunk.
Pinney and me then divided the plum
der, and then we stayed on the other
side and came home in the morning"
Miss Cohen said that she did not
tell any one OF the confession OF Jim
Pierce until the weight on her mind
grew so burdensome that one of the in
mates OF the house, noticing her wor-
ried appearance. asked her what the
trouble was. and she told her. The
story was then given to District At
