London, Dec. 2C The Times this jnornlng pub
lishes an able letter from Mr. J Hike, Kin of an emi
nent journalist, denouncing the acts W violence re
cently committed by tho British .'authorities at
Yaugcbow. Mr. Dilko thinks a repiktition of such
acts would be more dangerous to ifliice between
Great Britain and tho United Statcsithan the Ala
bama duostlon.
Thtr Times, in Its comments, aj.5oos with the
wr.Vter, and pronounces the outrage! a violation of

The Times has another long cdifjbrlal arttclo on
the subjoct oi tno Alabama ciaiuu it says: "The
people of both England and America are uneasy In
regard to the relations which are to exist in future
between the two nations. This uneasiness arises

""""Jjfto, of the Argentine Republic, has engaged tho
fc'jrul nftirtPA nf flftuar&l MnMulinn tliA A mnrlpan

with Lopec, and that Dom Pedro, the Brazilian
Emperor, has, in consequence, threatened to with
draw the Brazilian Envoy from the Argentine re
public London, Dec. 27. The oriental question absorbs
attention. That a conference will be held is not
absolutely certain, and if held sinister results are
foretold, predicated upon similar attempts at con
ciliation, Turkey declines to yield the indepen
dence of or to make a sole of Crete, to transfer that
island to Egypti or to yield to any other of the
necessary hoses of compromise. Lord Clarendon,
as was to be expected, adheres to the old policy of
England in regard to Turkey. Napoleon and the
Emperor of Austria are undecided In their views,
while it is thought that Prussia leans toward those
of Russia. It Is certain that the Greeks count little
on direct aid from Russia, hut much on insurrec
tions on the part of their countrymen In Turkey.

a British man-of-war In Chinese waters came np
for Investigation, and Mr. Iturlingamo held that
such vcescls should only be used to protect life and
property when Immediately exposed to danger, but
that othcrwlso the subject became properly a mat
ter el' diplomatic reference to the Ambassador at
Pckin before the act was committed that might
lead to war. It is thought the English government
will also regard tho mutter in this light.

THE RILL MURDER.
The Proceedings ou Saturday Afternoon
In I lie Case of Oeorge S. TivlH-uell, Jr.
The Court of Oyer and Terminer reassembled
at 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, when the
following testimony was elicited:
Franklin Tjevin testified Unit he had known the do.
fcmlHiit lor fourteen or sixteen years, and that the
estimation of the character of the defendant wan held
as LeuiK head aud shoulders above that of other young
UH'II 111 uiuiniB uy uiubu wuu miow 111111 minima, 11 . J .
Mr. Long sworn I have known the defendant for
fourteen years: his character was Rood; I have seen
lii in at Tenth aud Piue streets with Mrs. Hill.
Mr. II agert objected, becatme no time wan fixed.
The uuemion was modified, and witness resumed: My
last Vint was made there about a year ago.
Mr. Mann Did you notice how they treated aud re
garded each other.
Objected to.
Mr. Maun I rroprme to show that Mrs. Hill was his
best friend, and that he knew it.
JmlKe lirewHter The lime of this witness huTing
en these people together being over a year, It is too
remote.
Witness resumed At the time that I went there I saw
Mrs. Hill.
Mr. Msnn Who let you In?
Objected to.
Mr. Maun I propose to prove that he went Into the
entry, the dining-roum and the parlor, and that the
noise made in walking and talking did not arouse the
dogs, and that they did not bai k until he went into the
room in which the dogs actually were.
Objection overruled.
Witness resumed I wont into the door on Tenth
street, and Into the dining room and parlur; Mrs,
Twite.hell let me in the first time, aud the last time Mrs.
Hill let nie in, and took me into the dining room; the
dogs were iu tho dining room, but tliey never barked
rnlil 1 entered the room; the lust time I was there Mr.
Twitehell was not there; I went to sue Mr, Twitched,
and Mrs. Hill knew it. T
Mr. Mann How did she treat youf
Mr. Ilagert objected, as lie could not see what light it
would throw upon the nuestion as to whether this de
fendant had committed the murder a yeur afterward
Mr. Mann argued that it would show that if Mrs
Hill treated the defendant's friend kindly, she must
have had a kindly regard for the defendant, and that a
man would be more inclined to murder a person who
treated him hudly than one who treated hiiu kindly and
with consideration.
The Court overruled theoffer, Itbelng too remote, and
because the kindness, it any were shown, might have
amen from personal consideration of the guest.
Witness resumed I was at the prisoner's place of
business on the Tuesday before Mrs. Hill was killed;
the prisouti was there, and bu took me around among
his stock.
Mr. Mann Was he depressed In manner?
Objected to.
Mr. Mann thought that it wns clearly evidence to
show that his manner whs not that ol one embarrassed
In business, but was cheerful and contented.
Mr. llngert To show that the prisoner had a larKo
amount of stock on hand Is a suhstnntive biet to which
wo would not object; to show that the prisoner said so,
does not prove that he was unembarrassed, that he did
not have to borrow money or was not brooding over a
murder.
Judge Brewster said that the fact of tho prisoner
having money wool 1 be clearly admissible, but his
itmmicr would not be.
Objection sustained.
Witness resnined These shingles worn marked Ooo.
Twitehell, Jr., Coope street wharf, Camden; 1 dou't
know how many are In a bundle.
Cross-examined I don't know how nisny bundles
there weiu; 1 do not know whether he merely sawed the
shingles out of lumber furnished him; did not tell me to
whom they belonged; he said something about buyinu
lumber; lie did not tell ine that there was a chattel
mortgage on his place of 1.'iOo; did not tell me ho was
in debt lor rent; i saw hut two dog in tho house at
Tenth anil Pine; he left Carpenter's banding about four
yenrs; he went into business, 1 think, about a year ago.
Charles Maloney testified to his good character.
Joseph Huniels. sworn I reside In Mantua, N . J., and
have resiiied there for twenty-seven years; have known
defendant about fifteen yenrs; his charncter was good;
visited him throe or four times In Camden ; was there on
Thursday before the murder; his stock was then about
ten thousand shingles.
Cross-examined Am a foundryman; I estimate tho
number of shingles from the pilej; 1 havo dealt In lum
ber: tho shlneles would averaee about .' thousand.
Kllen Ilolan, sworn I lived with Sirs. Hill; went
thereto live last May a year, and left her last July; I
left her and came back; I was two months away from
her, but with that exception I lived with her all that
time; Mrs. Hill hired me; I was to do tho downstairs
work, Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Twitehell did the chamber
work; they used to sit in the dining-room over the kit
chen alter supper; Mr. and Mrs. Twitehell retired many
a time to their room between 7 and 8 o'clock, and no
later to my knowledge; very often Mrs. Hill, after Mr.
and Mrs Twitehell had gone to bed, would bring the
newspaper anil read tho news tome; I went to bed at
all times before ten o'clock; Mrs. Hill usually stayed up
after I went to bed; Mrs. Hill generally attunded the
door; f have heard the hell ring alter going to bed;
but if my door was closed In tho w inter, I did not hear
it; in summer 1 heard it because my doors and windows
would be open aud hoisted; M rs. Hill attended the door
utter 1 went to bed; she carried a caudle-stick and can
dle through tho house at all hours of the night; I have
seen her with a candle in the yard after twelve o'clock
at night; tho bath-room was in t lie backpartof the
third story buildiue; to my knowledge she always took
a hath between eleven and twelvo o'clock at night;
tenants need to come after 1 went to bed to pay her rent,
and would go away 1 dou't know wheu. After Mr. and
Mrs. Twitehell had gone to bed, and before I did, I have
seen tenants and other visitor with Mr. Hill; she
generally received them in the dining-room; sho trans
acted her business there in my time: during the time
I hat I was there I noticed that Mrs. Hill and Mr. and
Mr. Twitehell wore friendly, as far as 1 know.
The uuestion a to the ownership ol the parlorfnrnl
ture, asked tho witness, was objected to, when theCoiirt
said that she must first bo asked how she knows, as she
may think she knows when she does not.
Mr. Miinn argued that tho best manner of showing
that this furniture was Mrs. TwitcheH's would be to
show that Mrs. Hill expressly declared that all in that
room was her daughter's, and claimed, this property
being apparently hers, and in her possession, a right
to give her declarations against herself, and could fol
low it up by show ing that this property w as bought in
the name of Mrs. Twitehell.
Judge Ludlow Then you have hotter evidence than
you have produced beforo the Court; you have the bills.
Mr, Mann We have other evidence; bnt it appears to
nie it is for the jury todeteimino which is the butter.
Judge llrewstoi I do not recollect anything in the
commonwealth's case about the furniture in the house,
though there was sonictltiug said about a title to real
cstnto
hnn dntmed that this evidence would
rebut tho presumption as to tho motive; as, il they hud
all secured, they could gaiu nothing by the murder of
Mrs. inn. ...... ...
rri.o rfwoientinff tho offer to be milt in writinc. it
was done hb follows: W o offer to prove that Mrs. Hill
gave the house furniture and all that was in it, except
the piano, willingly and lreoly to hur daughter, Mrs.
Mr. llagort objected to tho offer, and, addressing the
Court, called its attention to the fact that Mr. Maun,
in arguing a single question of j-vidence, wandered all
through -the case, and maintaiued that the Court had
refused to let tho commonwealth give Mrs. Hill s de
clarations to show motive, and should not allow the
defence to give them to prove mat mere was no inuu vo.
After consultation, Judge Brewster said: Wearein
clined to admit any documentary evidence you may
have with regard to the furniture, and as to tho rest ot
your offer we reserve our decision.
Mr. Mann then offered to give in evidence bills for
the furniture in the namo of Mrs. Twitehell, amouut
iiiBiiiBllto3381 9ti. , , , . ,, .
Sir. llagert suggested that thoy should be properly
'"judge Brewster Of course, gentlomen, you must con
nect them with the furniture in question, and prove
their genuineness. t
To save time, this matter was left standing, and new
matter of investigation wus taken up.
Witness resumed We sometimes had throe dogs and
sometimes four; they are of different sizes; a little black
dog was the sharpest; these dogs passed the night usu
ally two in Mrs. Twitehell !h room Bud two iu Mrs.
Hill's; the sharp dog went into Mrs. Twitehell s room;
don't know the breed; the black dog would commence
barking first; Mrs. Hill fed tho dogs after supper; they
would then take the dogs to their rooms; two of thorn
were very small, aud two of them were not so little;
Mrs. Hill kept them a pet dogs; I went out bunday
mornings but never went out in the afternoon or even
ings hue twice while 1 was there; 1 had a Thursday out
every week, hut I only went onco in a month or six
weeks ; it would very oiten be after teu o'clock when 1
got in on Thursdays; Mrs. Hill ulways let me in; Mrs.
Twitehell let me iu but once; they usually were iu bed.
Cross-examined I livein Uiclimoud.tu W ilson street,
near York; I only make my homo there; it is Mrs. Gil
lespie's house: I am out of employment, and will have
been four weeks next Monday; I went to Mr. Lewis', in
Walnut street, after I left Mrs. Hill 's, and lived there
until about four weeks ago; it is above Eleventh street;
I am married; there was no other servant iu tho house
while 1 was living with Mrs. Hill; the twomonths 1 wus
away was during the winter, and I came buck last
spring; do not know who lived there during those two
mouths, as I visited the house but twice; I did the kitchen
work, washing tho front, and washing and ironing; I
usually sat in the kitchen; the family usually dined iu
the kitchen; it was my usual habit to go to bed before
ten o'clock; I slept In the third story back building;
Mrs. Hill frequently Bat with no in the kitchen; 1
would leave her sometiniesat thedining room door, and
scniel lines in the kitchen when 1 went to bed: I knew
sho was in the yard alter twelve o'clock by see
ing the light; she would be walking and looking at the
trees and rose bushes; many times she did so; cannot tell
of any particularoccaBlon; this would bein tho summer;
1 have got up and looked out at her and seen her; I had
no particular cauBe for getting up to look at her but to
see the light and tosee Mrs. Hill; could not see her
without getting un and looking out of the window: yon
can soo tho light of a candle in the yard up in the third
story buck room; this wus last summer and the summer
before; I know that Mrs. Hill went to tho frontdoor
alter I went to bed. because sho told mo so; she took a
buth every night between eleven and twelve o'clock
during the sumer; dou't know whether she would then
dress herself; when I would see her walking in the yard
at twelvo o'clock she w ould be in the same dress as when
1 left her; the bath room was over my room; Mrs. Hill
would not have to go through my room to get to the
bath room; don't know that she would dress herself be
fore her bath to walk iu the yard; I have seen tenants
come there close to ton o'clock; T have heard
tlo.ir itnmu. but don't remember: Mr. and Mrs
Twitehell wonld go to their room immediately alter
supper, unless lie roau ine pnper; no came uome to
dinner on week days, but seldom on Sundays; believe
there was a lounue in hi room; W as in there but twice;
there was no lire thoro last winter; when I was
in tho room It was day-time, and was never there at
night, and do not know w hat they did when they went
there; Mrs. Hill had the care of her two dogs hersoll ;
they used to follow herjibout the house, and were gene
rally with her: Mr TwTtcheirs dogs 1 alwayssuw taken
with them into their room after teu; don'tknow where
Mrs. Hill s dogs slept; they went to bed with her when
she went to bed; they used to lie under the sofa, or about
it,upstairsin the diiiing-room. until she went to bed,
so fur us my knowledge goes; they would come down
with her when she camo to sit with nie; they would not
remain there, but would go up about the sofa in the
dining-room. Mr. Twitehell used to come home to din
ner during the time I lived there; ho was away two or
three duys from dinner, but was home to supper; I don'
know his habits since then. t
Re-examined Hid Mrs. Hill give you tho reason whv
she did not go to bed until so late when you plagued her
about walking in the yard at twelve o'clock at night.
Objected to on the ground thut Mm. Hill's declara
tions were not evidence.
Mr. Mann We desire to prove that this habit had
boon scuiilred through Mrs. Hill having sat up late at
night during her husband 's illness, and that she could
not sleep before that time, aud walked about iu this
nisntier to pass away her time.
The objection was sustained, and the witness being
withdrawn, tho Court adjourned until to-day.
