The Chief Justico said he could not help that. Mr Francis must take care to el minate it from the minds of the Jury, and his Lordship would also tell them to so distinguish it in their minds.
The statement made by Pasher, the 2ad prisoner, before the Coroner, was then Mr Russell was ressiled to identify the man Anderson as the person known as In cross-examination he was asked to rea patut marks on a pair of trousers which the 2nd prisoner was requested to sell for kim.
Dr. C. J. Wharry, M.D., Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, gave evidence as to the admission of the body, of the deceased, and the wounds be found on it. It was within the range of possibility that the wounds were self inflicted, but it was improbable from their positions.
Leong Slug Yow, an inmate of brothel No. 8, East Street, stated that she was engaged on the evening of the 14th June by the 2nd prisoner who came about 7 o'clock, but left shortly, saying he was going to his meal. He came back about 10 o'clock and stayed till about 11, when a man came and the 2nd prisoner went away with that mau; who that man was she could not tell. About 1a.m. she found a musical instrument (that fu Court) lying on a chair in her room. It was taken away by the Police the next morning.
Chun Chun Yew, an inmate of the same house, proved that she closed up the house at 12.80 o'clock,
Inspector Lindsay was then called. He visited the spot where the deceased had been lying and saw a mass of blood. About 2a.m. he went to Beltrio's boarding house; he found the prisoners there. He examined their clothes but found nothing remarkable about them. The 1st prisoner seemed anxious to know what witness wanted there. He appeared agitated and com- menced to fill a pips. It was filled and it looked strange to witness that he should try to fill it again. Witness spoke to the 2nd prisoner, who gave his name as Pashor. He had examined the prisoners' clothes, He went to No. 8, East Street, the brothel, and removed the conserina in Court from there. Sing Yow was there. Afterwards witness went back to Beltiäo's, but found nothing particular. He took the prisoners into custody at 11 o'clock. He found a watch on the 2nd prisoner; it was going then and was keeping good time,
Cross-examined-It was about 10 or 20 minutes after 12 when he got to the corner of Gage Street.
By a Juror-When he spoke to the 2nd prisoner, the latter broke out into a sweat Loong Sing Yow was recalled at the request of a Juror, and stated that the 2nd prisoner did not change his clothes while he was there, nor did he keep any clothes
there.
Beltrão was recalled by Mr Franois. He said he had known Manoel Ras for more than six months, having stopped several times in the house. He went to sea in the intervals.
By the Attorney General-The 1st prisoner was known in the boarding house Bs Obarlie Giacomo. He did not know he was called Joachim,
This closed the case for the prosecution, and the Court was then adjourned til 2.15 p.m., when Mr Francis will address the Jury.

Bucharest, June 29.-It is ascertained now that the principal crossing west of Giurgeve was at Fetrocent and Parapa, just below Simnitza, where the Russians crossed on a large number of rafts and small boats, until a position was necured on the south bank. This accounts for the
comparatively small loss suffered by the Russian troops, as the page was effected in small detachments, who were scattered on the river and advanced toward the op posite bank after the manner of skirmishers, so as to render the enemy's fire less effective.
These were dragged on carriages through the mud and launched in the darkness. These boats put off singly, rowing across, and later a little steam tag was brought into requisition. The Turke immediately opened a smart fire, both on the boats and on the troops, who were waiting to cross, The leading boat contained Major General Yolchine, Turkish riflemen were in position about fifty yards from shore.
