The horses referred to in the above let
ter are those mentioned in my testimony,
at the time the letter was written did
not know Largent had the sorrel mare
he did not go to Alabama, as he could not
collect money due to him; Largent did
not conceal himself between the 9th Oc-
tober, 1865, andsmy arrest, but went back
and forth in his ordinary manner during
that time; he did not attempt to conceal
the fact of having the sorrel mare; I new
er hoard him speak of the murder at
Browns Ferry; Largent is friend of
mine.
Being re-examined, the witness stated
that Col Hamilton has grandson named
Walker Russell, 20 or 81 years of age,
living with him; that he (witness} keeps
a public house, and has been a merchant
for several years.
The accused introduced the record in
the case of F. G. Showers, to show that,
on the first day of that trial, Warren
Howell, witness for the prosecution,
deposed that he went to the Ferry two
hours after the MURDER that the party
made its appearance not more than half
an hour after the man Jones left; also, to
show that W. p. Brown, witness for
the prosecution, did not state, in his evi-
dence, on the 4th and 18th days of the
trial, that he recognized the voice of
Crawford Keys on the night-of the mur..
der, that the moon was shining, nor that
he recognized the features Of any of the
party.
The Judge Advocate showed, from the
record, that Brown was not asked, on the
days referred to, whether he recognized
the voice of Keys, whether themoon was
shining, nor whether lie recognized the:
features of any of tile party. 80
The accused showed from the record in
the case of Showers that Brown had said
that ':just his general appearance" indu-
ced him to believe he saw Crawford Keys
the nightof the murdey that Brown in
reply to a question said, Il can't think 1
1 am mistaken in the man Crawford
Keys); 1 took it to be him. and ttat
Brown did not mention thc voice OF Keys
as one of the means Of recognition.
