to me and took a carpet.sack down from

there for a dectector to examine a bill
that / got from some man that keeps a
grocery at Loudonville. When the train

as people might suspect. Told ne to
keep my damned head shut, and keep
the Cleveland matter before them" l

told me Bull would help me. There have
been no inducements held out to me by

These were the main points of Lis tes-
timony as given in the Examination in
Chief. Nothing material was ELECTED in
the Cross-examination, save that he Will
Jams, alias Hunter, had been twice in the
penitentiary, once in the Knox county
Jail, add had perhaps been guilty of COM
hitting other depredations, IN fact, that
his history for the last six years had been
a history of but little save his crimes and
his puniShmepts. Next was the

DIR. Myer-, G. Dearmon and D. Rust,
testified that Yarnell told them What Hun
ter had implicated some one about Lou
donville, whose name commenced with B.
and that he had told things that would
make their hair stand on end.

by Yarnell. The defence was mainly di
rected to three points. First, that Hun

On some other charge, he could not have
had the letter of Seymour and Clark will
