"a illness denied ever having stated that hair

see what that had 10 do with the c,se
hr. ChGrte< =. hcGiH, Ia brother of the ac-
cused and law studeut in the office OF Mr.
Nlc-.l was then called by he defence. Wit
ness knew Miss Waite Dixon six or seven
moHtns ago witness ard his brother George
were IN GsoIgetown, and thy saw Miss Wat
tie Dixon with another gentleman, and he
(wi'ness) attempted 10 tease his brother to
make him Jealous; and George then told Of the
hair braid affair, and III order tas George said)
10 show his contempt for Miss Waite, went to
her ard asked her "what is the price OF the
hair traids yen and l went TO Aliot's for :"
anG Miss Waite replied either SIS or S1s, wit
mess could not rrcoiect which.
Witness was then cross-examined by Mr..
DayiGge, and said this con versatIon with his
brother occurred seven months ago. He
membprsd when il was, because no made q
note OF II in bis mind. The conversation was
got up by his brother for the purpose of show
ing him [witness) what a disgust he (George)
had Tor The woman.
Question.-How did you make a note Of it!
ADswer.-I made no other note of it except
that h told me to say nothing about it. After
that visited the young lady three or four
nmes. My brother boarded at Dxons, and
Went there by invitation. / frequently saw
my brother IL Mr.. Bixon's after that CONVEX
sauon. l often went into the parlor after my
brother toio me OF the matter. / was in the
house probably twenty five times after this
conversation. l mean that 1 went up and
down that many times, and sometimes would
stop there as visiting place on my way to
other houses
In reply to further questions by Mr.. Davidge,
witness at last said that he had been at the
house probably thirty five times; and tried to
explain that mat number included the times
he had ran up and down stairs to see his
brother. lie could rot pretend to recoliect the
exact number of times.
MIR. Bradley objected to Mr. Dayidges mode
OF examination. He was tanging up the wit
ness In such manner that he did not know
whether he stood on his head or his heels.
MI Davidge then continued the cross exami-
nation, and witness said he had been to Dixon's
several times after the conversation with his
brother. He could not recollect how Often
Dir. Bradley again objected. He thought Mr.
Davidge was asking the questions in very
insulting manner.
Justice Clay ton said he did not sec that the
mode of questioning was insulting.

tloh i went TO the house probably twenty five
thirty times. Sometimes l would 20 70 the
house 10 brother on business, and also
