JOsten was seen by various persons on
his way along the GaIlatin pike, on his way
TO Nashville, which he reached between
five and six o'clock. The next seen of him
was by the Waterman at the L. and N. de-
pot about ten o'clock at night when he was
in an empty car. When told to come
out he jumped out as il his
feet were very sore, and all
along the pike when seen he was walking
very slow. He was asked what he was
doing. He said he was tired and had no
money and wanted to sleep. Nothing I'M
usual was observed in his manner or ap-
pearance, except he was very dry. The
Waterman having got him TO help him un-
load some cars, permitted him to sleep in
a car, be having said he had no
money to go TO hotel. The Waterman
told him he would call him next morning
at halfpast five O'Clock, which he did, and
Josten asked him to let him sleep little
longer, because he was very tired, which
he permitted him to do, telling him to
close the car whenhe left. He then came
out into the town and met with some Ger
man friends and asked ior something to
eat. He inquired for work and was told
there was no work except on the railroad
and at the depot. Nothing unusual was
observed in his appearance, and NO stains
upon his clothes. He was next seen about
six miles from town on the Harding pike,
and again seen from there about three
miles with a chill on him. He was not
seen again until apprehended at Union
City, (When arrested there he had some
blood upon hisclOthes), at Union City six
days after the alleged murder, and when
asked to explain it, in broken English, said
his nose had bled, and offered to show the
place it had bled from. He was then
brought to Nashville and incareerated.
After trial during eight days and the ex-
animation of the testimony, the jury re-
turned a verdict Of not guilty.
