SCOTT WILL CASE.

further evidence. CROSS-EXAMINATION BYCOUNSEL. By Electric' Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, June 28. The evidence to-day chiefly went to show the influence exerted on Sir John Scott by Lady Sackville. Sir E. Carson sharply cross-examined Miss Alicia Scott on the destroying of her brother’s letters and papers. She admitted that Sir John gave his two sisters £IO,OOO in 1899, and later they received the interest on £IOO,OOO and half the residuary estate; also the pictu?'es and furniture at the house Connaught Place, which this week fetched £IIO,OOO at auction. She admitted that Sir John was thoroughly sane and able to fish and shoot and enjoy himself. 1 Sir E. Carson, cross-examining Mr. i Walter Scott, elicited that the family did not accuse Lady Sackville of immorality. Hie cross-examination suggested that Walter Scott fell in love with Lady Sackville, but feared to tell Sir John. Soon after he had an attack of brain fever, and kept crying for Lady Sackville in his delirium. Ho denied this. The hearing was adjourned till Monday.
