ing that be had a basket in his hand, became suspicions

asked defendant if it was heavy, and upon the latter saying
it was net, and returning to the adventure of the dog, com-

you to him!

Mr. fielfe—What induced you to suspect be had any pro-
perty
dishonestly come by in his basket?
Constable—Because he began talking In me about the
dog, and I thought that that was to take my attention off
the basket.
Mr. Sells—ls that all!

Mr. Selfe—l don's follow your proms% of reasoning that
because he talked of a dog be had something in his brisket
he did not want you to see. Is them anything known
spinet defendant?
Constable—Nothing.
Mr. Belle—l can't see how this was in the execution of
your duty, imbue there was some circumstance of suspicion

to be stopped to have it searched hooest people es well as
bad characters will be interfered with.

taken to another foreign doctor, who promptly steadied
the wound, and directed the immediate removal of the
