 The cross examina ion of Lottie Will son, James housekeepcr as she called herself, was resumed on Monday morn ing when court convened at 9:3O. Nothing new was elicited. The wit ness kept to her ,tOry.and to every queS- tion of the defense, which tended to inn peach her testimony she answered no. Mr. Fink tried to find out where she lived but it was with much dilfidence that she answered the questions put. He asked her if she did rot live in that part of town called "the TOW" but she said she didn't know what that meant Finally she admitted that she had lived back of the Monte Carlo or somewhere else in that neighborhood. Questioned as to whether she knew certain female denizens of the tenderloin very well she said she did not. She had, howev- CT lent one woman $l0 to pay her fine.
 McGinn objected to t'ink's line of questioning, and the latter said he pro- posed to show that the witness, was common prostitute. She answer ed questions so pertly and detiantly that the court admonished her to be- have herself and obey the rules of the court.
 McGinn continued his objections. and finally the court told the defense to re- duce to writing what they offered to prove. This case will be conducted just like other cases," said the court. The cross examination was continued, the court having overruled prOsecu- ton s objections, and the witness was asked as to her neighbors in the row." She admitted that she knew one May Russell and another woman called Alice" who lived next door to her: Alice was friend of Nr. JOlley's, she guessed: he arrested her last fall. She moved back there because James told her it would be more convenient for him." besides he and Jolley wanted her to "watch Alice.'
 Did you not" asked Mr. Fink tell May Russell a few days before the shooting atfray that you were going to publish Mr. James in the Gold Digger if he didn't pay you that S15 that he owed, and that he had stolen coal and coal oil from the N. c. Co: and that you asked May Russell $ advice and she ad- vised you to send for Mr. J0lley and you said you did not know Jolley: that he had only come to your door once or twice to see Jamcs?" The witness said no, but not a promptly as usual.
 ''Did you not have conversation with May Russell in which you told her you would fix Jolley?'" No" said the witness.
 Did you not tell May Russell about a conversation you had with $. Ii. Stew ems in which you stated that you would do anything he wanted you to, and that Stevens would pay you that SD which James owed you, and that you would send Jolley over the road?" The wit ness again answered no.

Jury Disagrees
in Postal Cases
DIV. Miller, In Ifis Defense. Cute
Free From His Friend

Cincinnati: The cases OF D. v. NIL
Ter and Joseph M. Johns, accused OF
conspiring to obtain bride from John
J. Ryan & Co., turf commissioners,
went to the Jury late Saturday after
noon
At 1885 p. m. the Jury reported that
It was unable to agree and was dis
charged.
The speech delivered by Attorney
Rullson made It eveident that the de-
Tense OF Miller had cut loose from that
of Johns.
District Attorney MCPHERSON went
over the cases Of Johns and Miller
separately and jointly, laying special
stress on the kilograms of Johns noti-
flying Ryan G. Co. at St Louis, in adj
vance Of last November, that the In
spectors were coming and insisting
that Johns could get his information
only through Miller, and that Johns
used it for the purpose Of securing
money from Ryan.
Rulison declared It might be said
in defence OF Johns that when he bun
koed Ryan out of $4,000, he bunkoed
one who had been bunboing Others for
years, but it was unjust to connect
Miller with It.
He held that the conspiracy estab-
Bshed was that of making a scapegoat
out of Miller, in whose trial gamblers
and thugs" had been used as wit
nesses.
Mcpherson said Ryan never hunted
for Johns, but that Johns hunted him
and that Johns had advance informa-
ton from Miller when he did so, and
such information as to show conspir.
acy between them.
Mcpherson laid most stress on the
Jim" telegram that was sent, notify
ing Johns that a copy of decision in
the Ryan case had been mailed him.
Mcpherson said that Johns soon
afterwards. met Ryan in Cincinnati
and delivered the decision upon the re,
ceipt Of $4,000.
Judge A. c. Thompson was an hour
and a quarter in delivering his charge
to the jury, which did not get the case
until after o'clock. The court paid
special attention to the testimony OF
John ]. Ryan, and instructed the jury
not to throw 1t aside on account of
the character Of the witness, but to
give it due consideration, wherein II
was corrorated by other witnesses or
documentary evidence that had been
admitted.
The charge held that there must be
an overt act to establish a conspiracy
and that while there was no direct
testimony to show this except in the
testimony of Ryan as to what John:
had proposed to him, yet there wa:
much circumstantlal evidence to thai
effect.
The main question for the jury Il
settle, was whether Miller had knowl
edge of what took place between Johns
and Ryan and whether Johns was au
thorized to speak for Miller.
The court told the jury that there
could be no verdict, finding one of this
defendants guilty and the other limo
cent, that both must be convicted o.
both acquitted.
