way, that he had better go back 10 Russia
again; IL never seemed To ME that Conkln had any
thing to do With this matter until went TO dinner

One Of the jurors remarked that the boy who brOug
over the note ought TO be summoned. This was
qtieied by the remark chat the next witness would
settle the day and date, and the slinmoning of the
bootrlack was unnecessary. THIS ended Hurst's
evidence, although everybody felt convinced ne had
