looked At him minute, and said that would
do. Then brought Nash in, and put him in
anme position. Harrison looked ct him
awhile, then said be wanted to SEQ him with
black coat on. Put black coat on him.
Then he looked at him some FIVE minutes,
and said be looks like the man, or something
like that. Did mot mean to have Nash or
keiser hear any remarks upon that subject,
but Nash heard him. Nash returned to iAr-
rison, end asked him II be Was the man.
Harrison said he believed he was. Nash
said "you are mistaken in tho man. Har-
rison said, 81 think not" Then took both
to calaboose. When l introduced Mash, Har-
rison looked at him with kind OF idiotic
look--perfect stare. Looked At him in the
same earnest manner the second time. Made
a motion a. though he would rise in bed, to
look ut Nash. Made NO effort to rise 10 look.
ing at keiser. While going to calAboose
with Nash, he said Of Reddout, "God damn
his old soul to hell. II it had not been for
