An nn the previous days every wit ness' istiniony was preceded by nn of f"r. ami almost very offer was fol I. -wed by lengthy arguments. Several tlm.s the oppoHiiiff counsel became ixed ui in warm wrangles, nnd once .ludsre Arehbald felt called Upon to ud-nilnist- r a mild lecture to the wrang lers. The attendance was larger than on any prebus day, and as usual women made up the bulk of the audience. There was a light In the corridor dur ing the afternoon bttween some of the spectator who were crowding against the doors vainly seeking admission, and at Judge Archibald's direction a couple of nflleeiH were stationed In the c. iridor to kep away all who are not in attendance at court on business. Van Horn wore a worried and wear ied look all day long, and Is beginning to show signs of tile great mental and physical strain which ho is undergoing, and which began to make itself np-, par nt with the second day's proceed-' ings His mother again sat at his side during a part of the afternoon. The testimony yesterday was of the most damaging character. I'HYOIt'S STOIJY. "li.-n (oiirt adjourned Tuesday, Jan s X. 1'ryor was on the .stand uniting for the attorneys to ilulsli their llslit ov. r the admission of his testl ltotij. The objection of the defense was . entiled and when the trial was resumed at 9.50 yesterday morning Jtr. x-iyor oioiveueu to tell Ills stor.V, as outlined ahead In yesterdny's Tribune. A ! a d.ivs after the arrest for the Inr. n .if the SIS. Van Horn came Into i-ryor's cabinet simp on Spruce street und when the arrest came up during the course of conversation, Van Horn with much feeling said: "Oh, that was only a spite action. She Is trying to turn mo down for some other fellow that she has on her staff." Later on Van Horn waxed nncry and de clared he would "cut the guts out of her.' referring to Jlrs. Weseott. ' Pryor advised with hlm about ,ho case and suggested that he might settle it. Van Horn leplled that he thought he could fix It up, if ho could only see Mrs. Woecott. Just about that tlmo Mrs. "U'escott passed 110 Spruce street and leaving a pail that he was carrying in the shop.ho started out hurriedly to catch up with her Some time later Van Horn canto back for his pall nnd told Pryor that everything hud been fettled and that the case would be withdrawn. On irubs-examination tho witness ndmltt-d that when ho referred to tho arrest durins,' the talk in his cabinet shop, he did so in a jocose manner and that it was possible Van Horn was also in a Joking mood. Mr. Wodejnan also sucee.-ded In drawing from tho witness, despite an objection from Mr. Jones, that he had had a conversation with Mrs. Wescutt a few days follow Ing the incident In the cabinet shop and that she told him tho caso had been settled by Van Horn protiflsltig to pay the $15 ho was charged with stealing'. HE MADE THKEATS. The most damaging testimony of tho day was thut given by Mrs. Oeorgo Nlemnn and her daughter. Mr.. KH011 Pughe, of mo Jackson street. It was In substance that A'an. Horn in their preseme threatened to do Just what ho is ihurg.-d with doing, exhibited tho rnzur with which the deed was doubt, lebsly . minitted ami spoke of how he ' would elude arrest when he had com mitted the crime. On the Tuesday night preceding tho murder. Vuii Horn, who was then hoarding on Jackson street, camo over to see Mr. Xleman, on whom lie occa sionally mado it neighborly call. His arrest at Mrs. .Wescott's Instance nat urally came tip during the evonlng'o talk and at one stage of tho conver sation Van Horn declared with much emotion that Mrs. Weseott had dono him dirt, but ho would do her a - of a slcltt mbre. dirt. "I'll cut hor throat from'- ear" to ear.- I'lJ 'murder her." lie uald". : Van Horn's coat was open and a razor could be seen In tho Inside pocket. Mrs, Woman asked hint what ho car ried that for. Ho drew It out of his poeket and, openlnsr tho blade, rolter ated what he Jiail said before about cutting her throat. Mrs, Nieman advised hlm not to do anything rash; that Jip .would suffer If he did, Van Horn unswored: "They can't hang me. I can escape and go up through York stata." The only material thing brought nut on Cross-examination' was that Van Horn was accused nt one time of tak ing some money from Mrs. NIeman's Bon-in-law's pocket. She, however, said she horo him no III will on that ac count. UOAItDKIt imiMItLK. William J. Hrlmble, who wns one of Mrs. Wescott's boarders at the time of the murder, was the next witness. He was In his room, on thu second lloor, nt the tlmo the deed was committed. About 8 o'clock he heard some one I'oino hurriedly up the stnlrs and call for Mrs. Pctterholf. A moment later ho henrd Mrs. Fetterholf exclaiming: "My (foil! What's tho mntter?" nnd Mr. Weseott was heard to answer: "My throat Is cut. I'm murdered." "Who did it?" excitedly naked Mrs. Pctterholf. "He did it." gasped Mrs. Weseott. "Who? Who did It?" repented Mia Pctterholf. "Oforge Van Horn," nnswered Mrs. Weseott. "Hurry, get Ur. Hurnett," she lidded. The witness then led Mrs. We.cot.t downstairs and rushing out on the pot eh called Mr. Fetterholf and Mr. Helter, two of the other hoarders, who were standing at the corner of tho fence. Mrs. Weseott followed him out with her handu holding her npron to tin- gash In her throat nnd crying out plteously for her young daughter, Corn. Some one In tho crowd that had quick ly gathered In the yard asked Mrs. Weseott who did It, and she said and afterwards repeated that it was George Van Horn. The witness then went on to describe how they had found 11 trail of blood leading from the smaller or rear cel lar up the outside steps, nlong the side porch, Into the dining room and out In the kitchen, where tho pan of potatoes, which Mrs. Weseott had car tied, was discovered on the tame, cov ered with blood. He was submitted to a lengthy and searching cross-examination, but it fnilcd to shake his story, or develop anything favorable to the defense. WHAT MHS. AVKSCOTT SAID. Mrs. Cora Ames, of Philadelphia, and Margaret I.amb, of this city, whom she was visiting, tentllled that they hap pened to be passing the Wiscott house just as Mrs. Weseott appeared on the porch with her throat cut. They heard her cry out: "Catch Van Horn; he has gone around 'the house." Weslty Kresge, who lived next door to the Wescotts. on Franklin avenue, was the llrst witness of tho afternoon. His only mnterial testimony was to the effect that about S o'clock on the night In question lie heard tho wire clothes line attached to the side of his house and extending across tho Weseott yard, vibrating furiously, as if some one had very forcefully collided with It. He wuit to the door and looked out but could see no one, and went back to his rending again. Mi, (leorge WIckonhoffer, wife of the special olllcer, who testified Tues day, told of having seen Van Horn dodging behind the tree boxes on Lin den street In the vicinity of the Wes eott house on many a night during tho six months preceding the murder. Mrs. Knnn.a Van Horn, divorced wife of the accused murderer's brother, and daughter of Mrs. We.scott, stated that she had frequently seen Gem-Re A'an Horn skulking about the vicinity of her mother's home, where she. the wit ness, also lived, and only the night previous to the murder she saw hlm standing just across the road on Lin den street, gazing over at the nouse. He had his hands deep down In his pockets and remained there for a long time. On cross-examination Mr. "Wedeman asked her if Van Horn wasn't. In the habit of occasionally visiting the house after he had ceased to be a boarder. The witness understood the intimation and with much emphasis ami some in dignation, she answered, "No, sir. No, sir. He never came there. He wouldn't be allowed to. He was never in that house In his life." She went on to ox plain that when Van Horn boarded with her mother the boardlnsr house was nt 10,1 Spruce street. It was brought out also by Mr.Thayer that her father, Ira Weseott, of Jer- myn, was not living with her mother at the time of the killing nnd lind not been for some time previous. Tho wit ness was asked if she ever saw her father skulking about the house as Van Horn was described to have been in the habit of doing'. Her answer was another emphatic and indlgnnnt "No." A DAMAGING INCIDENT. Tho next witness, George A. South ard, ii sewing machine agent, who nt one time was n boarder with Van Horn related a very damaging Incident. On the Saturday evening Immediately pre vious to tho crime he was walking down Linden street, and at the Jewish synagogue, Just below the Weseott home and on the opposite sldo of tho street, he was accosted by Van Horn who was leaning against tho fence, Just at the corner of the alley. Van Horn asked for a chow and In dulged in some cursory conversation and then looking up the street casually asked: "Did you see anybody when you came past the house?" "The house? What house?" asked Southard. "Mrs AVescott's, up there." "I didn't tako any notice," soldi Southard. "I see the old woman had you ar rested" rejoined Southard. "es," said A'an Horn, "sho tried to throw me down for another man. Hut Fhe can't do that. her. I'll cut hor heart out lirst." District Attorney Jones also ottered to show by the witness that A'nn Horn had made threats against Mrs. Wes eott as far back as April, 1S90, but when an objection was offered because of its being too remote, Mr. Jones with drew tho question. Tho witness admitted that A'an Horn was somewhat under the Influence ot liquor when the conversation referred to above took place. Ho also admitted In answer to Mr Thayer's question thnt A'an Horn nnd Mrs. Weseott frequently had quarreled nt the boarding house and In timw-cr to another query from tho defense he said that A'an Horn's conversation narrated ubovo wusn't what might bo called unusual for hlm. WAS HANGING AROUND. Silas J. Finn, janitor of No. 30 school building, told of having seen A'an Horn hnnglng about the corner of' Linden street und Raymond court 011 several occasions within a Bhort period pre vlotis to the murder. On a few of these occasions A'an Horn shrunk back into the nlley at the witness' approach. The witness answered nlllnnntlvely Mr. Wedemnn'a question as to whether or not it would bo possible from tho corner described for A'an Horn to seo a signal, such as n white handker chief, wuved from an uu-stulis win dow of tho Weseott house. Mounted Olllcer Stephen Dyer, who arrested A'nn Horn on the larceny charge, told that when ho took A'an Horn back to the station house after the hearing, and was In tho act of locking him up, that he advised A'an Horn to settle tho case nnd that A'an Horn replled'I'll get even with her; At the time of tho murder the new Nay Aug engine Iioubo was In ronma of construction. Benjamin Altken, who was watchman there at the time, went upon tho stand and testified that A'nn Horn was In the habit of going through the engine house from the front, utnerg lng from the rear and crossing over to the Weseott back yard. One tlmo that tho witness followed A'an Horn' movements he saw him crouch behind tho fence and temnln that way for a long time, ns If spying on the house. Theso actions were rather suspicious, Altken thought, so refused to let A'nn Horn go through the engine house nfter that. It was Just nt dusk that tho ac tion related occurred and It was gen erally In tho early evening that A'an Horn made theso trips. Mrs. Kmma Hncon, a very young woman, was tho next witness. She was called to testify having met A'nn Horn In Page court at about 8.10 o'clock on tho night of tho murder. Ho was walking very fast; so fast ns to ut tract her notice. Ho went down to Mllllln avenue and then turned to tho outh. CAUSED A TITTER. In testing the witness' knowledge of A'nn Horn's Identity, Mr. Wedoipnn nsked casually how many times sho had scon A'nn Horn during tho year preceding tho killing. She nnswered, nfter some upward-gazing calculation, "Ton times." There was a very nudl blo titter In various quarters of tho room, but what provoked It did not de velop. Tho witness further on In her eross exatnlnntlon admitted that sho Is not living with her husband, and thnt her father-in-law had her arrested for per jury not long ago. Mr. Jones took the witness In hnnd when the eross-examlnntion was over and Indicated to hor that she might explain the circumstances of her ar rest. She did not seem to care to do so, or elso did not quite understand what her privilege was. Mr. Jones then requested her to explain about her nr-. rest. Mr. AVedoman objected to this and told Mr. Jones that he had no right to lead the witness to explain. It was simply a privilege which the witness might avail herself of if she saw lit, but tho commonwealth could have no concern In It nnd should not urge the witness to explain. Mr. Jones with some warmth com plained to Judge Arehbald of the con stant "ridiculous" objections thnt he was compelled to combat and Indulged In some very harsh criticism of the manner in which the defense was con ducting its case. Mr. AVedoman want ed to get back at the district attorney, but Judge Arehbald directed both of thenj to cease nnd when order had been restored ho addressed himself to Mr. Jones and said: "Your opponents are defending a man's life and they would be derelict in their duty If they did not light every Inch of the ground. I can not agree with you that their objec tions are not well taken. I have had to exercise careful thought and Judg ment in ruling on every one of them." Mr. Jones wanted to say something further and Mr. AA'edeman wns de manding the privilege of answering Mr. Jones, but Judge Arehbald didn't want to hear from either of them and very emphatically told them they must cease their bickering and proceed with the case. FOUND THE RAZOR. AViiPum Helter nnd Augustus Petit, two of the AVescott boarders, told of finding the razor In the cellar nnd Helter Identliled the one exhibited by the district attorney ns the one found in the cellar. The blade was open when found and there were blood stains upon It. Tho razor has a dull, yellow bone handle, nnd long narrow blade. Roth witnesses saw rags spread on the floor near the wall and thought It possible that they might have been used by some person to lie down upon. Mrs. Dora Abrnms, a neighbor, who arrived at the house .soon nfter the crime, also heard Mrs. Weseott accuse A'nn Horn of tho murder. George Isadore, a boy living in the neighborhood of th - crime, saw A'nn Horn on the evening In question at about S.10 o'clock walking rapidly out of Page court, down Mllllln avenue and thence nlong the Delaware and Hud son tracks. The last witness of the dny was John lJedcll, who know A'nn Horn very well, nnd who henrd him declare thnt he would cut Mrs. Wescott's throat for "the dirthy thing she did" to him. It Is hoped to get the catie to the Jury Saturday night, but this Is hard ly possible. Judge Arehbald will be oc cupied tomorrow In lining the Jury wheel, and the murder trial will have to rest for the day. A night session Is talked of, but evrii with that there Is only n faint hope of preventing the case f 1 0111 going into next week. The coTii.icnwenlth does not expect to get through today, and one day and an evening . sslon will hardly suilk-o for thf defense. am:cdoti:s oi lord i:sim:r. A Cnso Hhich Required Law and Common Sense us Well. From tho London Telegraph. The retirement of Lord Ksher, ns Master of tho Rolls, was the theme of general conversation In legal circles. As habitues nt and practitioners in the Royal Courts reviewed his Lord ship's brilliant career on the Rench many Interesting anecdotes were re calleel. Tho resignation of tho Master of the Rolls had been one of the hardy annual rumors, and on- the last ilay ot tho sittings there was always a big at. tendance In the Appeal Court, tho great army of briefless ones being conspicuous. Lord Ksher, from boy hood upwards, always loveel a Joke, and on the day of his expected re tirement he usually camo Into tho court wearing a brand-new-wig. AA'hen the business ended It wns customary for him to say "Goodby." adding, with a merry twlnklo In his eye, slyly glancing at the reporters, "for the pre sent." The Grand Old Man of tho Law will bo especially missed by tho lady litigant, who' usu'ully has a "beo'ln her bonnet." It U a matter of iplnlon whether he did npt encourage this ec. centric creature, who apparently de lighted to argue with one of the hand somest men on the bench and laugh and chaff with him. Not very long ago ono of them went down on her knees in court In a cnso of bankruptcy nnd implored his lordship to "spare" her husband. It was on that occasion ho created a certain sensation by tell ing the lady not to talk nonsenso about tho "disgrace of bankruptcy," for "nil that is exploded now." A well known lady litigant unco described him as "a perfect darling." To another he Inti mated to her that her case had been sent to bo tried by a certain learned Judgo without a Jury, adding: "He 1b a capital lawyer, you know, and will try your caso very nicely." Rut sho dismurred, nnd, in tho course of her application for a Jury, said: "Oh, yes my Lord Justice Is all very well as to law, but my case requires so much common sense." A Hopeful CircumstniiCD.

Giinstor nnd Judgo JlcCluro Yesterday. A caso with some sensational fea tures was tried before Judgo Gunster, In court room No. 2, yesterday. John Martin, a Polnnder, who resides on Sherman avenue, AVest Scrnnton, Is the defendant nnd Aldermnn John P. Kel ly, of the Eighteenth ward, the prose cutor. There Is another case on the list in which Alderman Kelly is charged with misdemeanor In ofllce, Martin be ing the prosecutor. The perjury caso was on trial nil afternoon and will bo resumed this morning. The common wealth Is represented by Assistant DIs trlct Attorney Thomas. John 1'. Kelly and AV. AV. Haylor. Martin Is defend ed by Attorney J. Elliot Ross and Na than A'ldaver. The commonwealth'.'' contention Is that Mnrtln committed perjury by swearing to certain Information before Alderman Howe, charging Aldermnn Kelly with extorting Illegal foes. On Aug. Ifi Mnrtln went to Kelly's oillco and asked for a process to collect a board bill of $16.S6 from John Gudltch, of Arehbald. He alleges that he was unacquainted with the laws of tho land and did not know tho kind of a process ho wanted. He was told by tho alder man to sign a paper and did so. Some tlmo elapsed and ho met Gudltch, who Informed him that he had paid the amount of the board bill to Alderman Kelly. Martin asked that olilclal for his money and was given J3.C1. He was told that the balance would be necessary to liquidate the costs of tho case and In proof of the nssertlon the aldermnn presented the following bill of costs: Alderman's costs, Sl.fiO; civil suit. Si.Sii; criminal suit. $J; Constable J. AV. Clark's costs, $5.90. THOUGHT IT ENCESSIVK. This bill Martin objected to. alleg ing that It was excessive, os he had not Instituted n criminal suit or or dered one to be Instituted. Tho other Items he also held were excessive. Re fore Aldermnn Howe he swore out a warrant for Kelly's arrest on 11 charge of collecting Illegal fees. After the Kelly hearing, Martin was arrested for perjury. Judge Gunster said last evening just before court ndjourned that the Kellv caso should have been tried before the one ngalnst Martin. Constable J. AV. Clark and several other witnesses were put on tho stand by the commonwealth and testified that they were In Aldermnn Kelly's olllce on the night Martin called to be gin proceedings against the man who owed hlm a board bill. He directed the alderman, to Issue an attachment ngalnst Gudltch's wages and also a wanant for his arrest for defrauding boarding house keeper. Alderman Howe testified that at the hearing be fore him Martin swore he signed such pa pets as Alderman Kelly directed hlm to sign. The commonwealth offered In evi dence the Information lodged with Al derman Howe signed "John Martin," and the information on which the war rant for Gudltch's arrest for defraud ing boarding house keeper was Issued by Alderman Kelly. The latter was signed "John Maitczln." The slgna tuies to both papers were Identical, save for the dltVerence In snelllng. Martin was the first witness called to the stand for the defense. He said he did not authorize Alderman Kelly to begin a criminal proceedings ngalnst Gudltch and signed only one paper, which he understood was an attach ment. The signature "John Mnrtczln" at the bottom of Information alleged to have been made In Aldermnn Kel ly's court he pronounced .1 forgery. AVRIT1NG IS SIMILAR. He udmltted that the writing was similar to his but he had never spelled his name that way. Jiimcs J. MeCorrey was the last wit ness of the day anil his testimony wns startling. Ho said that about the first of November he had 'been dissi pating n good deal. Prior to that ho had some business dealings with Al dermnn Kelly. On Nov. 2 or ?, Kelly brought him a paper which he told him to make a copy of and sign the name of John Martin to it. He gave him Martin's signature to elupllcate and witness mndo tho copy and sign ed Martin's name to It. Kelly told the witness that he wanted tho paper for use against Martin In the perjury e-ase An effort was made to show that Kel ly paid a $12 board bill for MeCorrey and also gave him $10 after the copy was made but the court would not al low the testimony. MeCorrey could not Identify the paper la court as tho erne ho made. After the cross-examination of MeCorrey was completed court adjourned for tho day. In the nssault and battery case of Mrs. Mnry Sargent against -Airs. Eliza beth Miller which' was given to tho Jury Tuesdny afternoon a verdict of not guilty was returned yesterday nnd tho costs divided. Peter Morcovltz, who wns convicted of assault and hnt- tcry Tuesday was sentenced to pay a fine of $10, costs and spend ono month In the county Jail.

James Rrodosky and Anthony Relcovltch were arraigned for assault and battery on Sophia Alexnn drnvlteh. It uppeared that tho wrong men had been arrested and u verdict of not guilty was taken and tho costs placed on tho county. , A SOUTH SIDE CASE. John McDonough.a South Side young man, wns charged with wronging Miss Alice Reap, a pretty seventeen-year-old girl, who also resides In that part of tho city. She appeared in court with a four-months-olel female child In her arms. Sho sworo that McDon ough Is the father of It. Ho denied tho chirge. The Jury retired nt noon and had not agreed up to tho hour of ad journment. Attorney John R. Edwurds defended McDonough, and Attorneys, J. Elliot Ross, nnd Frank Roylo con ducted the prosecution. AVllllam Howley did not appear to prosecute Jennie Smith for keeplnu a bawdy house and a vordlct of not guil ty wns tuken nnd the costs placed on tho prosecutor.
