A witness named Sullivan created an uproar in court after stating his answers as he saw fit and delaying his exit from the stand. Outside, friends offered cold drinks.

A Paris style note describes favored fashions with plaids and checks for vests, gilded peacock feathers on hats, changeable taffeta collars, ostrich fronds, and bold color contrasts.
