the jury may thoroughly understand
this procedure now, understand that
your honor holds (in denying a mo-
ton for a directed verdict of acquit-
tab that it is a question of fact to
be determined by them"
Justice Trenchard: That is it,
Just before court adjourned Justice
Trenchard addressed the jury. and
for the first time requested them not
to take their usual week end bus ride
He said:
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
I wish that you would not go out
either today or tomorrow on a bus
ride. I wish that you would not do
that, and please do not do it, nor un-
dertake to do it.
"Of course, there is no reason in
the world why you should not take
appropriate exercise in the custody of
your officers, either on the hotel ver-
anda or on the pavements, if the
pavementS are fit to walk on. haven't
been out through the village myself
but if the pavementS are nice to walk
on, you may very we'll like to walk,
and I would think it might be rather
a good thing for you, so with that
admonition I will say to you that you
may now retire and come in at 10
O'Clock on Monday morning"
Mrs. Morrow. pale and sedate, was

In addition to Mrs. Morrow, there
we're witnesses to tell that Violet
Sharpe was in their company the
night of the crime: that she accom-.
panied two men and another young
woman to a speakeaSy. that she
drank coffee: and that she returned
home about II pm.
One of her companions of that
night. Ernest Miller, said he met the
girl on the read about week before
the murder, and the defense counsel
wanted to know from him if that
yXhot iS knnu-Y0 q dtT7jpkincy nm
girl.
Miller said it wasn't exactly pick
ing up
She was walking along the road
and she asked me for a ride" Miller
said. She waved her hand and
stopped. She must have mistaken me
for some one else"
Miller didn't remember what time
it was when he gave Miss Sharpe a
lift to Englewood. which moved De-

Englewood that you don't remember
what time it was or what day 1t was?'
And Miller's answer was: Il am not
in the habit of picking up girls"

it?"
The defense oSS-eXamination OF
this witness concerned itself for the
most part with seeking to snow that
Miss MINERS could not recall events
on any other day or night of 1892
except this particular March /.
That's the only night you can
remember in your life, isn't it2'
Reilly asked, and the witness replied:
"Yes sir, distinctly"
Elmer johnson. the fourth member
of the speakeasy party, told a SINH
lar story to hack the States conten-
ton that Miss Sharpe was not nea1
the Lindbergh home in HopeWell on
the kidnap night.
During the testimony of this wit
