dolph thirty years He not very smart
man, Is sol jet to 6is Of passion, more so
than some other folks. His father, mother
~ld sister we're Ike him in that respect.
Think he would become angry on slight
provoealion Could not control himself as
well a. some men. Heard The testimony
below. Mrs. Wheeler testified that David
asked Pendolph Tor some tobacco, tha;
Pendoph got il for him. and kinsman
threw II down. She testified twice IN Sand
gate, The first time she sa j that she heard
no no Sc after they left the room, the see.
ohd time that she heard a noise outside Of
the house after they went Out. She was
asked what the rose sounded ike and said
il sounded like pounding on board or
something like H. She said she remained
il the room all the time David was there
Have known Of Ms. Wheeler a number
II years. Her general reputation for truth
and yeracity is not very good.
Gross Examination Think Pendolph
has intellect enough to know that il is wrong
10 commit crime.
Direct Examination Resumed. 49, The
town Of Sandgate took Pendolph's land a
few years ago when he was upwell and
likely 10 become a charge 10 the town.
JoN Curtis Have known Pendolph
twelve or thirteen years. He Is more sub
iect TO mad fits than men in general. He
has bad a great deal trouble the past few
years from boys and others plaguing him.
Get mad at smaller thinks than some men.
" hen mad he seems 10 fly all to pieces,
grab up stones, &c. AT such times he seems
to lose all selt.cJntrol. Mrs Wheeler les-
titled below that David asked for some to-
bacco and Peudolph got fer him and tod
him to leave the house, and David turned
TO 20 out and PendoIph struck him with
the axe as he turned TO 30 ont. She said
tHal DaNlu iultN lht toVdCEO NuNH ABOUT
the tinie he WAS struck. Saw the axe with
which David Sas struck, il was small axe.
lave heard Tint the old woman and boy
were pretty hard set, thievng, lazy, &c.
ross ErdmiHditOn.--Ihi William
pendoph has sense enough 10 know that
it is wrong to strike a man with an axe.
Direct Examination Resumed. Think
he would know i, was wrong in one Of his
mad fits.
AUSTIN WILCOX. - For twenty or twen-
ly.fiye years have seen Pendolph very Of
ten He is a very passionate man and not
very smart, but could not call him fool
Should think he would know better than
to pound man without cause Should
say he was liable to fly all TO pieces when
he gets mad, Have known Mrs. Wheeler
four or five years. Should think her rep.
utaiion for truth a reracity was rather be
low that of other women. Have heard re
marks as to her aud tie boy being rather
light fingered Mrs Whee or testified be-
low that David asked for some tobacco and
William gave him some. Think Mrs.
Wheeler testified that after David and
William lett the room she heard noise
sounding like blows. Think she testified
that she remained in the room all the while
till they went out
MoRrHoUsg IlAMILToN.-Haye known
David kinsman four o. five years. Con.
sijered him a quick and passionate man.
lie was an odd acting man, did not appear
like men in general, Think he might 90
into a house where he was not known and
would be little limorsome. He would
equenily take op his dirk knife to cut his
tobacco and such lhitgs.
Cross EramindtioH.-D was a man
Of peaeeable quiet habits. Think he was
not IN the habit Of Offering any insult to
any one. William and David have work
ed together at my place day, nothing un-
pleasant between them there. Think Pen.
dolph knows enough to know that il is
wrong 10 strike a man with an axe.
MARSHALL HuRD.-Thiuk Kmsman's
manner Of entering a house and hts appear.
ance aud conduct generally was such as
would put man Of PendolpLs mental ca
paciiy in fear Of bodily harm.
Cross ErdminahoH.-Dayi would burst
into house without knowledge, sit down
and take cut 6is knife and begin 10 cut to.
