The Mcfarland trial still drags along. John
c. Howell was on the stand again Friday. His
testimony showed that he sought to be wit
ness for the prosecution, but he denied that he
received any pecun;ary consideration for his
testimony. He knew of McFarland's threats
on Richardson, and thought he would carry
them out, but did not take any steps to pre-
vent their execution; thought they were no
secret to the people. He denied that he APP
plauded the deed. Holdridge Dewey testi-
fed that Mcfarland showed him pistol which
some one gave him, and with which he said he
was going to shoot Richardson. Witness tes-
titled to the Incorporate habits of prisoner
