II would be shown that Marrow was in very low
state Of health subject to bleeding of the lungs The
reward Of fs50o was exceedingly incentive to the

him into my store and sent for doctor; he said he
was shot in the back and the men IN the mack had
done it he said he was in Keenan's store eXdmin-
ing the books, and while he was standing at the
desk making notes three men entered the store ana
Mr.. Dwight objected to this as not cOntradlcting
anything Mr.. Brooks had said.
Mr. Cassidy confined the witness to the points he
desired him TO speak upon, and the witness re-
brooks said then that he could not identify
the men who shot him he said that in answer to
question ! asked him; ! asked him be-
lore the doctor came; wnen the doctor
Brooks, and he shook his head; Brooks was sitting

with Brooks; our intimacy had been OF the most
friendly character; ! have never been in Court IN

whisky business about twelve years; was in the
whisky business prior to the imposition OF the
whisky tax; there is a case in the United States
Court in which am one OF the leasers of property
which was seized ! don't know by Mr.. Brooks,
but he has some knowledge of it, / am
interested as of the sureties; was concerned,
in 1866 in suit against ten barrels Of whisky but
Mr.. Brooks had nothing to do with it; as soon as
Brooks came in and lay down, asked him could he
identify the men shot; supposed he was dying and
benefit Of the Government; that was after he had
told me the men who had done it were in the car
rage; assisted him to his home; did not leave
was about the distance of the width
of this, room when asked him
who shot him; just asked him If he knew the men
who shot him; then thought he was dying; he was
lying, on lounge; that was the first question
asked him; asked him If he would know the men
if he would see them, and he shook his head and
said no.
Q. Did Mr. Brooks seize whisky at your store?
A. have no recollection of his seizing goods in
the store, but do remember his taking goods from
| in front OF my store; this, however, was a usual
| thing with all the liquor stores.
| Cross examined by Mr.. Cassidy-The goods seized
| by Brooks were not mine; have never had, and
| have not now, any unkind feeling toward Mr..
| Brooks would do as much for him as would for
| was brought here by process of subpoena; would
| rather not have come.
| DR.. William Quigley sworn-NIy residence is No.
180 Race st was sent for to see Mr. Brooks when
| he was at Martins; went there and attended upon
him; he was sitting on a lounge in the office Of the
| store; | asked him where he was wounded and he
said in the back; found the wound, and my opinion
the bullet had gone to the lung there great
| confusion, and / directed him to lie down and an
swer no questions, and say nothing to any one just
| at that moment some one asked him If he would
recognize the men if he saw them again; / think he
answered, II do not think | would was all the
time urging him not to talk, the Importance of rest
was so great.
