As she entered the court room and passed into the Judge’s chamber, on the west Gide of the room, she attracted no little attention. Mrs, Wiount did not arrive until near twelve o'clock, whem she came into the court room ac- companied by Mre. Buncke—both of whom im- mediately retired to the Judge’s chamber on the east side of ths room, About balf past ten o’clock Judge Ogden took his seat, and stated that before the proceedings commenced he wished it to be understood the preceedings ‘were before him as a Judge at Chambers, and that he only used the court room for convonience sake. He hoped, ‘therefore, that those who were present would keep as quiet as possible during the examination of the young Ia- ay who was about to be called. Mr. Rassom then called Mies Emily J.
