The fifih day of tbe trial of Mrs. Clark and St. Tctrf began with a larger attendance than ever, (iprclclly of women, all tbe benches Inside the bar bring occupied by them. They numbered about 100. Mn. Clark wept a good deal, at least kupt jj Pf handkerchief to her eyea and her bead bowed, but St. Peter wa# a* collected as usual, and talked n ovr and then to Miss Denolt. Tho taking of tes timony was resumed, and w&at follows was elicited: DAVID MIONIDLT, iwcrn. Am a student of medicine, and have been editing Hr. Geiger, the Coonty Physician. Was prerent when the body of Clark was examined at ihe cemetery Ang, 17. Saw tbe ball taken from tbe heart by Dr. Dell, who banded it to Dexter Jennings, wno handed It to Dr. Geiger. Jennings washed the bullet In water. It was imbedded In tbe tricuspid valve, and tbe valve was torn. One idde of tho pulmonary artery was perforated: the other side was rough, as “if a probe bad been used.” Mr. Van Boren objected to the “willingness" of the witness, and the Court Instructed him not to be so fast, and ordered the probe surmise to be stricken ont ■ On cross-examination, witness said bo had rtmlled at Rush Medical College, bat bad not re reived his diploma. Several questions as to tbo structure of the heart were ruled out, and the defense saved tbe point. Witness lifted out the heart, which bad been cut loose from Its attachments. The pulmonary ’artery *a« cut off about two Inches above the bole, which wa# only through one of tho walls. He was certain sflngcr bad not passed through tho hole. He did not think tho hole was made when the artery was cat, but ho dldn’tezamlnc It thorooghly. Tho bell rniercd the heart about a quarter of an Inch from the hole. J. /. B. fiBTDBR, iwnrti. Live about a quarter of a mile from nark's. east, on the public road, which la called Fifth nvcnuo. Had known Clark for about a year; hid bad some bnalncaa with him. , tj.—What sort of a man was he as to temper,— cheerful or gloomy? llefcnsc.objocted. Tno Court sold this went to disprove the theory of suicide. , Mr, Van Huron said they hadn't proposed and didn't propose to Introduce any testimony to prove that. The Conrt thought It was admissible. An exception was noted. Witness said Clark was always cheerful when ho ns him. Was at his house between 0 and 10 on the evening of Aug. 1*". The body was then on toe stairs. Half a dozen people were there. Went for Dr. Fox. Haw Mrs. Clark. She was around with the others. She talked some. She olnn't state where he met his death, tint she said that bo bad threatened tn tahe his life before, and she told him bo was too great a coward to do It, Bbe said she bad Ist him hive SIOO tbo Monday before, and that he wanted mure tiiat day (Wednesday), and she let him have SI. She said now ho wascone and had left her the children ntia lit* debts. This was not addressed to snv on* 1 In particular. She said she beard a noise no the stairs after the shot; that she supposed tramps were coming np-stalrs: that Clark had shot himself—had shown her a pistol which he had bought about a week before In Chicago; that ahe heard u scream, and her little boy came running to her and said, “Papa is shot." Ho noticed blood under Clark's hip. Ho had no coat on and was barefooted. Did not look for blood elsewhere. The cross-examination brought out nothing,* nor was tho witness fuzed oy It, ntt. obioer, Mrorn. Am Conntr Physician.

Dexter Jennings on the other. Hell rat (bo heart open, and witness saw the ball In tno right ventricle, lying on tho’wall, in coagulated blood. Doll took It out, and banded It to Jennings, who-washed It. and Handed It to witness. Ho kept llfn hi* pocket nn (ll the following Monday. The pulmonary arterr was cut ng an Inch or an inch and a half from the heart. There was a hole In the anterior wall of the inerv. and a tearing on the other aide, as If the ball had rubbed it in passing. On cross-examination witness said the ball was foam) two or threo inches from the oalmoiisrv artery.

Clark was lying on the hall stulrs dead. A physician did uot come for over an hour; he was sent for a second time. It was at Mr. Lyman’s suggestion. The body woa removed between 10:110 and 11. Looked oat toward the barn for a revolver. The Impression was that Clark had sliot himself. Witness got the Impression fintn Love. Mrs. Clark raid be had killed himself; that he had been troubled about hla business, ami had shot himself; had wanted her to sell some properly lo help him pay tip bla debts, and she had refused to do It; that he bad said he woaid kill himself to get rid of bla tronbles. Hhe had replied that be was too big a coward, bhe raid she heard a noise at tho barn like horses tramping, and aha told him to go out and tie up the horses, and about the time ho got there ehe heard a shot and a scream, and a noise as If some one was coming into the house, coming through the bouse, and on to the stairs. Mho said she didn’t know hut what there might besomo person after him—that there was considerable noise, and sha locked her room duor. Hho remained there for awhile nnltl all waa quiet, and then went lo the door and called her husband's name. Kite cot no answer, and stepped to the stairs, and saw him lying there all quiet,and she supposed be was dead, bhe asked Eddie to go for Love, but be didn't want to go down-stairs, and sbu went herself, tine said she had given him 1100 the previous Monday, ami that he aiked for more that day (Wednesday), and she told him she didn't have It. All this was said before the arrival of the physician. Alter ail had gone away extent border, witness, and bis wife, there was further talk about Clark being lit trouble. When bo waa laid out (bo conclusion was that ha had not com mitted suicide, and she said it was a relief to her that ho had not taken his own life, ghs talked about bis property and ber property, and said Clark prided himself on having his free; sat also ssld ho had brought a pistol home about a week before: witness searched for it about the barn and through the boose, but didn’t end It or any cartridge*. Mrs. Clark looked at the body and said, “Alvaro, why did you do ihlat *ou have got rid of your troubles, and left them upon me,—left me your debts to pay, and tbs children to lake caroof, M —or words like those, hhe repealed that two or three times., Witness looked for blood elsewhere than on the sept In tba house. Found some spots on tho walk between the porch steps and the pump, and two or three spots on the steps and porch. In one place there was tho mark of a heel, and (he heel bad loft two marks on the walk. Clark wta cheerful indisposition; never saw snv Indication of despondency about him. Know 81. Peter.

Mrs. t urk'e sister, said was for her. Mrs. Durland also got s.j. and they were told It was for •Jork aud kiminces shown Mrs. ('lark since the mar* J-cr. Mrs. V. told ber at a subsequent time that Ue deceased was too much of a .coward to sboot himself, and that she had rcfnsed to let him have the Mira nioncr because afraid that ho would fall and leave her penniless. , THOMAS I.MTRR, / of La Grange, a blacksmith, was next railed. tie, had Known Mr, and Mrs. Clark, and also Joseph 91. Peter, for several years. HI. Peter was first discharged by Clark because he lounged arnnnd tun bouse too much,—at least this wa# tho reason bo gave witness for being discharged. He had seen Mrs. Clark and Ht. peter together noon one occa sion after he wa* discharged. This was about 7 o'clock In the evening, and they weroabont three quarters of a mtlenwav from Clark’s bouse. He saw them together aboiita week later In the same neighborhood, between the hours of 0 and ft O'clock In the evening. He did not know whether they had hold of each other's arm* or not when be saw them together. They were going toward Clark'# home. and Mr. Clark was In the city, or had gone to the city In the morning. ___ K .. .rt. I ufinu rCTKIt SWANSON was the next witness. Ho was a mason by trade, and lived lata Orange. Ho knew the deceased, who was a cheerful, talkative man. He was at Clark’s house the night of the murder, getting there abont 10 o'clock. He saw Mrs. Clark and she told him (hat thedecesard had shot himself with a re volver he bed purchased a week before. He took a >llght and went to look for tho re volver but could not find It, bnt found a spot of blood on the plank walk leading to the pump; 6he said It was her fanlt that he had killed himself, because alio had refused to lend him 910(1 that morning, and that Mr. Clark bad given her the pistol to put away so that tho children would not get bold of it, and she had not seen it since. Rhe did not say anything about Mr. Clark threaten ing (n kill himself. lie hid seen Bt. Peter go to Clark's house when bo was away. Ho heard Mrs. Clark making considerable noise the night of tbe murder, but did not see any tears In her eyes. AtltS. ANNtB MARIA SWANSON was next called: She had known Mr. and Mrs. Clark and Joseph HI. Peter for several years. She had seen St.* Peter go to Clark’s honsc often after be had been discharged, and always when Mr. Clark was away. One Rnnday when Mr. Clark was at work In tbe hay-field she saw Ht. Peter go to the house abont 11 o’clock. Mrs. Clark met him. and ho staid there until 0 o'clock, and when he left ho went by tbe hav-fledd, and she saw him make cer tain algos with his handkerchief toward Clark’s house. At other limes sne saw Mrs. Clark come out on her porch and play the accordion, and Immediately thereafter St. Peter would come, and they would both go Into the house. She never saw Mrs. Clark playing tho accordion at her door that St. Peter did not Join her. He was boarding at Durland’s. which wa# near Clark’s, at thn time, and she had seen Mrs. Clark go over there often. Wit ness said she had been talked to about the cate, hut no one had advised her howto swear or what to swear to. Rue had not watched St. Peter or Mrs. Clark, but, living nearClsrk’s, she often saw what she bad related us she passed about doing her housework and washing. SL Peter was notlook- Ing at her when waving his handkerchief, and sne did not believe ho would at any price, [laughter.] She did not know what tune Mrs. Clark played, and conld not tell at the distance she was wnetber the Instrument was a Jcwsharp or accordion. BAIUn DUHLABD was the next witness. She had lived in Mrs. Clark’s boose since tho murder, and bad known ML PetcrandMr. and Mrs. Clark for sometime. Hi. Peter came to board with her In May. She did not ■ea deceased until the day after tho murder, and did not remember that St. Peter had over said to her that Mr. Clark was Jealous of him. At this point Mr. Weber asked the witness if she had not testified before the (Irand Jury that St. Peter bad told her that Mr. Clark was Jealonst Mr. Van Horen objected for the defense, on the ground thst what pad been testified to in the (irsnd-Jnry room could not bo gone Into unless the proiecatlon desired to Impeach their own witness. A long discussion followed. In which the Court did the most of tho talking, and finally tho witness was withdrawn with the understanding that Mr. Van Arman would present authorities to sustain the position taken by the prosecution as to the admissibility of the evidence sought. MRS. JULIA CLARK, wife of a brother of the deceased, was next called. She bad known tho deceased, and was living at Naperville. She used tu visit the deceased once a year. Her last visit was In June, 1877. She had seen him afterward at her house, and last saw him alive (a May last. She was at his funeral, and at his house the day after bo was killed. Hho saw Mrs. Clark at tno funeral, and went to her bonso about two weeks later with her husband. She conversed with her, having been asked to go out of door* for that purpose. Mrs. Clark told her that abe and tbo deceased had had a quarrel for several dars on account of her refusing to let him hate 8100 that she bid saved toward gctlmgaplano for her little ftrl. She sum she finally let him have tho money, and throw It at him at tho dlnner-tablo Monday before tho murder. She said she could not see bt. Peter convicted, and did not believe him guilty. Witness reasoned with her. and told her that she did not know whether ho was guilty or not. and that he might hove mis taken her kindness for love, and put her husband out of tho way In the hope that he might lake his place. Mrs. Clark would not listen to her. how ever. but went on to sav thst if ho was convicted It might throw suspicion on her In the matter, and also to ssy that Ht. ivter ought to bo paid for stay ing In Jail, but did uot herself say anything about compensating him. Witness had n» unfriendly fef lings toward the accused, nnd lon no ill-will toward them now. Mrs. Clark had told her further (bat she did tint thtnx deceased had shot himself, and (hat she did not want to have anything done with St. Peter, so that tho scandal might be avoid ed. and because If he was cnn\lcted bo might got mad with her and say that sbo (Mrs. Clarki had had something to do with It, and alto w ith the mnrder. At tills point the Court said he had heard tome complaints from thn Jurors because they were de barred of all reading matter, and asked the counsel If they objected to tho Jury having cer tain reading matter. The counsel answer ed that they did not. whereupon the Court ordered the officer* having the Jury in choree to lot the Jnrorahavo the New Yorknapcrs, magazlncs.ctc.. and any other reading matter they desired except tho city papers and works on anutomyand medi cal Jurisprudence and law-books, after which an adjournment waa hod until this morning. ABSENT. Alone to-nighf. a quiet watch I’m keeping: Tho wonteu duties of the day are o’er; My little children In their bods are sleeping: The fitful firelight flickers nn tho floor. And, as tho hours so silently are bearing The night away forever in their flight, I wonder how my absent one Is faring— Fur far from friends and home Is ho to-night.

New London, Conn., Dec. 7. —“I am sorry, sir, but If yon were dying In the street I could not let yon have a glass of liquor," said the clerk at the leading hotel to a aalf-froseti gdest, who ar rived by the 1 o’clock train this morning, and. with chattering teeth, begged for a glass of brandy. The remarks of tho shivering traveler, at he went off to bis bed, were not exactly filled for ears po lite. Bucb scenes have been of common occurrence In this lively little town during the past month,— that is, since tbe Introduction of.tbe Prohibitory Liquor law. Under (be Local Option act tbe people of New London, at the last election, voted to grant no licenses to soli intoxicating Honors during the ensuing year. As tho old licenses ex pired on tbe Ist of November, the new syitem has now been |n operation more than a month, and a pretty fair view of Its effects can be obtained. Tho temperance people hare kept a strict watch upon tho Honor-dealers and havo commenced several prosecutions, bnt In no case thus far has a penalty been imposed, as the defendants have severally appealed to the higher State courts, where the questiona are still pending. Two saloons which formerly were among the most live ly In the place have closed their doors, bat a myr iad others in soma mysterious way appear toailll thrive. Tbe city’s Income is reduced about $5. 000 by the stoppage of tbe licenses, bat the trade has assuredly nut ceased. Strangers certainly cannot get honor, bat the way In which drinking residents obtain their favorite beverages may be gathered from what follows. ft atchtbcso two men walking down the street. They atop to apeak to a rough*looking fellow who wear* a big bcavr overcoat A rapid glance up aud down tho thoroughfare aaaurea them that the coaat la clear. They step Into a doorway. From an In* ncr pocket of the biz coat tho fellow producea a flat bottle and a email glass and hands them to the two pedestrians. Then ho stands In front of them, spreading bis biz coat ont on clilicr side, so as to hide them from the view of any passer*by. There is a glngglly-clug-alug behind this living screen fur a moment the bottle and glass are returned to their bloing-place, a little financial transaction takes place, tho two pedestrian* go on their way rejoicing, and the perambulator/ bar la doted on* til another thinly wayfarer chances along. The authorities know that this sort of thing Is done, and they exert themselves to catch the of* fenders. In the Town of Norwich, where the traillc In liquor was abolished lung since, there is even more sold from these pockut*btstols than In New London. It Is not safe for a man whose breath is tainted with strong drink to in* quire his way from a policeman or a real on* liquor-abolitionist. As soon as such a person cotchea a whiff of tho hated beverage he proceeds to search the pockets of tho Inquirer, and, should a flask bo loond, It Is at once confiscated, ana the ofivndcr, if be be one wbo Is suspected of selling rum. Is locnednp and duly arraigned and fined. “The reputation clause" in tho law permit* the authorities to search the premises of any man upon an affidavit of three citizens tielng made to the effect that they suspect iho presence ot liquor therein. Any intoxicating drink found In such a search Is it onco confiscated. The result of this is rather funny. Of course there arc very few of the bar-rooms in town where one who is known to (ho proprietors cannot get a drink. Hut fur fear of such a search us indicated they arc afraid to keep any considerable quantity on hand, and whero they used to have it in barrels they now content themselves with bottles, it is said that the temper ance people pay a soya regular salary of sl2 a week to scent out where rum Iskont; and conse quently tho dealers ora very cautious. A stronger who enters o bar-room l» assured that nothing Is sold there but soda-water and “Hehenek beer." a beverage sato to be not Intoxicating, and which Is exempt from tho operation of tho law. If the customer order* Scbonck beer with a wink ho Is served with a foaming beverage which would paVa la Now York under Ihunanieuf lager. Hut that is the strongest drink tho unknown tippler can obtain. Now let one who Is known enter, lie at onco passes into the back room. There ho probably finds a few kindred souls ;around a table. Tho door I* carefully fastened, and from a cup board tho proprietor produces a bottle or two and noout a» many glasses, and then the guests, in (ho sweet enjoyment of ‘‘stolen fruit. 0 gulp down with satisfaction such vile stuff as they would flat ly decline to swallow If It were offered openly over a counter. It Is tho general opinion that there Is really more liquor consumed In the town now than there was before the Introduction of the new law. The solo of flat bottles in town is something wonderful, nod indicates that the Jolly old fellow who used to drop Into a bur-room now carries A little hot lie by Ills s|t)u To drink when he's ajry.' Tho druggists, too. are doing an unprecedented business In patent medicines of the kind known as “bitters.” and “schnapps,” and “tonic*,”— mostly compounded of the poorest whisky, dis guised with flavoring extracts. It would seem that fn proportion as lliu tale of black bottles Increases the demand for larger receptacles decreases. “How much am I offered for lit” cried the auc tioneer, at a sale In tho public square to-day, as bo held tip a fine, big demijohn, with (wo wicker bandies. The crowd, which hud been bid ding wlih spirit for other articles, at onco become silent. They eyed ihe article—which would prob ably bold four or five gallons-withasortof mourn ful, pensive interest, os one might gaze upon a memento of sumo half-forgotten love of his youth. Not a bid I “What's tho good of Itf” mutiered a bystander; “wo 'aln'tgoi nuitiln* to put Into It." After much persuasion a weak-minded tnun was Induced to take It fur 10 cents, to a receptacle, he said, (or vinegar. Tho young fellowa about town, however, drink probably more than they ever did before, and this Is bow they do It: tiume of the men who found ibclr occupations gone ss licensed rumsellers with out hesitation Uninformed their establishments into “club rooms.” This was easily dune. It was merely the matter or atlcklng out anew elgn and locking the front door. Then osch of the patrons, upon paymunt of a fixed sum.-ranging from 10 cents to gl In different Instances,—was declared a member of the club, was supplied with a key to the door, and thus found himself lu a bet ter situation tnan ever to get drunk, aa he was guaranteed greater privacy and tho society of bis own associates. In all of these ways there la so much liquor con sumed that many who voted against the license system now regret their action, and*there Is a pretty general imnrcssiun tnat at the next election tho majority will vote In favor of permitting licenses again. The sentiment hero seems to be more liberal than at Norwich, tio strictly has the traffic been guarded against tn the latter town that many whose interests were in thot business have ■old their property and removed lu other sections, where tho prejudice against (heir calling I* not so strong. Several of these have gone as far away as Kansas. One resident of Norwich, who Is worth several hundred thousands of dollars, undertook to con tinue the sale of liquor In two saloons which he managed. He owned ami drove fan borers, auu was always on the road with them. One of bis bar keepers after another was arrested and punished, but the oroprlotur filled their places and continued tho traffic. He vibrated continually between (be two ealuoii# behind a thoroughbred animal, and all efforts to catch him proved for a lUne unavailing. One day bo found thu road heforo him blocked by a lino uf policemen. He attempted to drive (urougb but waa brought to a stand wltu their uplifted clubs. He was obliged to stop down and out and walk to the court, wulle hi* carriage was driven off lo the police station. Forty thousand dollars ball was offered, but was declined, and ho was tried, fined, ana sentenced lo six months* Imprisonment. There are. of course, (wo sides to the question, and one of them is. perhaps, exhibited in the rec ords of (he police uf this town for the month dur lag which (he Prohibitory law has been In opera tion. The “force” consists of a t'aptalu, a Ser geant, and five patrolmen. The Captain elates that tbs number of arrests for Intoxication hereto fore averaged between Ihlrty-tlvv and fifty per month. Seven was tbe number for the month of November—ln fact, it waa only six, aa one of them got tipsy on the night before the law went into operation, bat was not arrested until the follow ing day. The number of arreat* on all charges per month la about 100, sod tho number of per sona locked up on other charges than drunkenness •bows a corresponding decrease, because many crimes grow out of that. Another polut Is that the class of persons most Injured bv drinking find it Impossible to obulu liquor. The poor wretch who on Saturday night would set drank and squander bis week’s earnings can find no one to sell him rum, because do sooner does be venture tnto tbe streets lu a drunken con dition than ns Is arrested and forced to testify auvliut (hose wno sold him the liquor. That class or excessive drinksr* is then benefited by the law, and It 1* to bring this about (hat the moderate drinker* suffer annoyance sod strangers total de privation. Agalu, tbe bouses where gambling and other vices flourish complain uf the now law. It seems odd at tbe first blush that (bey should be sfrald to break one law In establishments whlch-depend for tbelr existence upon lb* Infringement of another, bat It will be seen that If their customers became intoxicated they would be the meant of calling at tention to the places where the liquor woe ootain cd, aud that would lead to tho Utter Doing closed. Cider U about the ouly drink to be found la such places, aud as a consequence they are loss fre quented than formerly. There U nothing to over stimulate the nerves or fire the blood In a glass of acrid New England apple Juice—quite the contrary. Indeed, is its effect. Now lluvcn bos voted to abolish the licensing of the liquor traffic by a majority of 4, 000. and prob* ably tie samo grave aud funny aspects of the case will be found there.

Next a drapery of amethyst, Tncn a crlms-m-ltuled mist, Caught from the clouds that, hanging blab. Dropped burnished glories uowu the sky, How oft old Sol hath hid behind Three lofty peak*, atora Father Time Hath not recorded.
