Mr.. FEsDALL continued as follows;
Now, gentlemen. is for you say whether there
any direct contra ADDICTION between the testimony OF MIR.
Iogno, who sweaIs positively that he The defendant
IA the ciiy OF Mexico June. Io47, and tina, Of wit
nesses, who saw him IN Iampco frequently during the
interval between March, is47 aud June, ls4s, but who
give, as to some particulars, only Impressions and one
OF whom though positive IN The opinion that the defend
ant could not have left Tampieo even for few days
without the witnesses knowing that fact admits that the
defendant had three months leave OF absence This
witness does not recoec the exact date OF ABSENCE but
thinks II covered period some months later imam june
IS47. But this witness, relying on bis memory IN
his evidence before the House committee mistook one
date by several months, his memory may have been az
fault also in his testimony before you as 10 anoher
Tampico is about 300 miles from the Guy oil Mexico,
and il is Tor you 10 determine whether me defendant
might not have been absent from Iapco iot lew Gays
Without The knowledge OF the Iampco witnesses Mf.
Togno is positive that he saw him IN the e,iy OF Mex
co in June, l5l7 and refers TO remarkable HISTORICAL
fact, and to remarkable conversation In lh,s CONVEX
sation the defendant said he passing as HabaneIo
You will fecoect the strong impression made on The
mind of MIR Bowes by the defendants declaration year
before, that "he did not travel American, but as
Spanard" And against so much OF the Iampico 'es-
timony goes on Impressions, may be sci on Colonel
Smiths impressions, conhrmatory OF Mr.. Tognos state
ment aA sal atate

whether you Dr. Gardiner after jane, 1874 Ill you
saw him in The city OF Washington
Ans l think saw him at The time Of the trp1sion,

saw him here n.
The probability is that Mr. Togao's statement is cor
rect-ihai the defendant was al The cily OF Mexlco
early in June, ls47. But. suppose this is not 80. You
saw and heard Mr. Togno on The stand; you no
tced his coun'ensnce and manner, and VIII not. an,
sure, impuie TO him wlfu error Merely unnseniohai
mistake in particular ought not to affect other STATE
ments of the witness. in which he Is confirmed by
other witnesses But in the most unfavoIable view
which can be taken Of his testimony as showing nnrm
y OF memory The most that be done is TO throw u
out. But what then becomes OF the oEer witnesses
Do they all concur in fixing the defendant 10 me cay
Of Mexico from 1912 1914, practising dentistry and
doing nothing else An etor made to get nd Of one
OF them. Mr. Wright. in another way leave II Tor
you TO Judge whether there was in the appearance
or manner of this intelligent witness, any thing cacu-
lated 10 create dsrusl OF his veracity Il is sa'd that
he has made statement here inconsistent with publica-
ton signed by Tosno, Sayrs and himself, IN which they
declare OF their own personal knowledge" that certain
statements which The publication mentions are untrue.
But Mr. Wright told you on the stand that the conradc-
lion o! Que Of The statements was not on the gound oil MS
