versation between her and her father tallied
with what has been already said by former
witnesses. Her evidence was not shaken in
the least by 'cross-exa,mination.
Mrs George Emboden, another daughter
of the prisoner, was the next witness. She
testified that she had arrived at her father's
house after ten o'cleck on the day of the
death of Sophy. She denied the assertion
that therehad been dirt scattered over one

Thomas Handcock, second eldest son,
next testified. He corroborated the testi-

took a pistol there on Monday, after the
accident, and that is the one Detective
Greer found. He took the revolver there to
guard the premises.
Henry Handeock, another son, went over
'the same ground as the others had done.
Wm. Wilcox testified to his havingsecured
Dr. Harlington to attend to Sophy, andthat

Rev. Mr. Milner, a minister of the Meth-

JOON IS A GENIES.
In Some Places It Would Be Called Laziness
"John," said a lawyer in one of the big
buildings down town one day, "run into
Mr. Jones' office and tell him I'd like to see
him for a minute or two."
"Yes, sir," answered John.
Mr. Jonee' office adjoined that of the law-
yer. Indeed, Mr. Jones' desk and that of
the lawyer's were within'ten feet. of each
other, and if the wall that separated them
hadn't been so thick, and if the ,lawyer
hadn't been so dignified, he might, himself,
by shouting, have informed Mr, Jones that
he wanted to see him.
Now, it wouldn't have taken John more
than a quarter of a minute to go to Mr.
Jones' office and the journey would not have
fatigued him. .But the office telephone was
still nearer. So John called up and had
the central give him Mr. Jones' office, and
when he got Mr. Jones' office Mr. Jones
happened to answer the call, and John told
Mr. Jones that Mr. Robinson, the lawyer,
wished to see him.
"What Mr. Robinson?" asked Mr.
Jones.
The next door Mr. Robinson," answered
John.
" Oh," said Mr. Jones ; " all right."
He went into Mr. Robinson's office.
" That's a very lazy boy of yours, Robin-
son," he said.
s " No, he isn't," said the lawyer.
" Yes,4he is," said Mr. Sones-
•" Why do you say so?" asked the lawyer.
"Because," ansveered Mr. Jones, "when
you toid him you wanted to see me he
called me up by telephone instead of walk-

" That isn't laziness," said the lawyer,

JIMMY. EY.
Dr. Mciretlane, called .by the Crown in
rebuttal, said he' had examined the Skull,
and he did not think it possible that a bul-
let could have made the wound. The wound
was produced by a hard, solid substance, as
if something, swung from the hand with a
handle, had crashed down on the skull.
HisJeordship—I understand the Crown
does not consider it material how the blow
was' struck.
To Mr. Murdoch .witness said he could
not account fot the patticles of lead found
in the wound.
Dr. Adam Wright did not think the
wound could have been .caused by 'a pistol
allot. The fracture could only have been
done by an instrument of weight, evidently
swung in the hand. •
.This finished the evidence. '
Mr. Murdoch renewed his application
that the case- be not allowed to go to the
jury, but the judge ruled otherwise.
" Nonsense. '
"You eatue up the, front steps on your
hands and knees, opened the door, and in-
quired if Carruthers lived here. Do you
know that?"
"Bosh ?"
"And you stumbled on a clerk flower in
the carpet and nearly went down."
"Not a w,ord of truth in it."
"Tried to hang your hat on a fly on the
wall and then asked where that nail,went
"You are totally hallucinated."
"Why, you talked out of your ears, and
when the baby cried on the bed you went
to rocking its crib as hard as you could,
singing Bye, Oh wy Oh, Baby.' Recollect
that ?"
"Recollect nothing."
" I expect not, and you got on your
knees and patted and rubbed the back of the
hound worked in worsted on the rug in
front of the grate, and said : "Doggie,
doggie !' "
" I tell you don't believe it."
"And you gave me a $10 bill and said I
could get a new bonnet with it, arid here's
that bill."
"Something strange. That bill looks
kind o' natural and familiar. But I wasn't
drunk."

" I do not believe the Oxford minuet is
properly taught in any school outside of

without any reference to the instructions

miserable failure when it isn't."
"How are you going to better things ?"
"Let the teachers give their attention to

tion."
"What are the changes of the Oxford
minuet ?"
'The first is slow and stately like the
court minuet, so far as movement goes,

not as quick as the Alsatian nor yet as slots
as the vesuviana. It is one of the prettiest
of dances, something like the old Mediter-
ranean."
"What other new dances are there this
season ?"
"The Spanish York, which has the same
time as the redowa. There are dozens of
others, but they are hardly worth talking
about.. The waltz minuet is one of the pret-
tiest dances ever introduced, if properly,
taught. Of nour§e round dances are crowd-
ing the square dances out. Novelties in
squares must be introduced in order to re-
• tain them at all in the cities. For instance,
dances that used to be square are now
diagonally or on corners. To make it plain,
the old change, "First four right and left
with 'opposite copuple," they now cross to
the corner—the side couple taking the place
the head couple used to occupy and repeat-
ing to the right. Of course in Country
towns the square dances are square still ;
the Saratoga lancers, minuet lancers and
college lancers remain the same.
"The New York lancers, now in it a sec-
ond season, remains in favor. The changes
are very simple. .They run: Head couples
lead to the right, join hands, circle four,
back to place ; right and left to the opposite I
side, balance, turn corner and beck to place. •
The fourth figure is: Head couples forward, _
address, take opposite lady and go to th
side, address ; head couples to place. then
right and left to the right
• "Dancing is certainly on the increase.
Nearly all the invitations to receptions now
include dancing,' and there are so many
social clubs forming for dancing that it in
almost indistiensible to one's accomplish-
ments. •
"Since the formation of the association,
there uniforinity in dances. At one
time if a New Yorker went to a Philadele,
phia ball he would find many of the changes
Greek to him. It isn't so now. Chicago
has adopted the New York Association,
rules, so has St. Louis and New Orleans,,
all owing to the fact that most of the cities
have one of the representatives of the asso-
ciations and have introduced the dances and
teach them after their ndoptionby the execti-
tive board of the association.
The dances in vogue at the Charity ball
in New York will be found at the Mardi
Gras in New Orleans. The Patriarchs' ball
in New York gives the same dances and
changes that you will find at Momus and
Proteus during the week's revelry in the
Crescent City.
"Dancing is not only an accomplishment, '
but it keeps the old. feeling young. It makes
the young graceful, and it is the open
sesame now to all social gatheringe. I, do
not mean by that that a dancer with no
• other accomplishment will find himself well
received, but I do say that a young.man
who cannot dance often finds himself like
the gentleman who comes in on the lovers,
de trop. Shrine ball will be a grand affair.
I have eight or ten couples whe will be per-
fect in th,e round dances and.in the squares,
too, for the occasion. If • the Oxford..
minuet be on the programme you will see
these couples right together, and I venture
to say finer dancing has not been seen in
Music Hall."
THE JUDGE S CHARGE'.
After midi:eases of counsel , the judge
delivered his charge. The following are the
salient points to which he directed
then- careful and earnest considera-
ttoe : At the outset • he told them
that the evidence in the case was purely
ciretineetantial and it wits a very difficult
one. They must find that the facts were
consistent with the guilt of the prisoner
and inconsistent with any other theory.
Th was no uestion that the girl was
ere q
murdered, but the simple question was,
Who did it? It woald be ' danger-
ous r- to conclude that the stories
told by the prisoner differed, as ' it
must be borne in mind that the repetition
of those to whom he spoke might be faulty.
They must be satiefied with some theory
in order to , convict the 'prisoner.
The evidence , as to the finding ' of
lead had been incontrovertible by
witeresees for the Crown. It was almost ab-
surd to • suppose that if the wound had been
i ictect by a leaden instrument it would
h e left the same lead impacted ,,in the
skull. It looked like a bullet, and it would
be unsafe, it would be dangerous to convict
the prisoner unless they Could. reconcile the
act evith the father's guilt. Unless you can
find, that the wound wae inflicted by a pistol
iu the hands of the prisoner, said his Lord-
ship, you'sliould not find him guilty. That
theory, of • coarse, does ' away with • the
