fANNm HHoD1s BYIDENCE,
When erier EhrenzcIler called Annie Rhodes. |
UdderzOOk's sister, and as she came forward, ali
eyes were centsrOd on her, for the story Of Nrs
Kimbell's interview with hsr husband nd become
known TO all. She seemed mueh affected as she
began her evidence, but towards the close GRADS
ally became calmer. She told Of the arrival Of her
brother q her house. his talk with her in the woods
VINE . the bloody tragedy was so soon to be en-
acted, his questioning Of her 10 the possibility
OF Keeping the stranger Ut her house, and in fact
all bis movements from the moment Of his arrival
until he met her husband.
THE MAN RHoDEs ON THE STAND.
As Annie ended, the crisr Of the court once
more rose and called Samuel w. Rhodes, the hus-
band Of Annie.
He commenced with his meeting UddsrzoOk at
MS farm, and the SuspiciOus letters he had re-
| ceivcd from the prisoner. He says that Udder-
zook told him that ho could not write any more
concerning the job" (meaning the making nav
v ith GoasO that 1t had 10 be by word q mouth;
that h was good for 81 600 apiece, and that I've
hundred each woaldbe gotten right away. Rhodes
further stated that UdderzoOk wanted him 10
hitci up and take the man to the woods, Rive him
bottle OF laudanu1, put him 10 sleep, and take
the money on him. He a.so told him that there
was no danger, and that he would not 90 home
J until ne got tie money. The letter to Rhrodes,
( In which Udderzook made the horrible proposition
- murder Goss, was produced aud read. Ii shows
that the pTiconer was determined TO have the
money come what might but that he would
| rather have Rhodes help him. The postscript,
Q "Be hFm-be true" was read with great emphasis
by the clerk, and created considerable excitement.
Q After the msslve was put aside Wayne McVeagh
. began his examination. Beyond doubt it was one
OF the most searching and best conducted that has
ever been witnessed in PsnnSylyaniA court, but
unfortunately for the prisoner, it had but little
effect, the man Rhodes holding 10 his statements
q not varying them one word. Before Mr. MeVeaeI
= had finished with the witness the cOurt announced
n that It was apparent that Rhodes was to be i'm.
If peaehad, or At least, to be made party to thG
n mnfdefous consDiFaeV. Whaa Rho6es lad laf

trial Is hghter tonight than at any time since th
y commencement. The prisoner, during a porto
Of Rhodes testimony, was seen to laugh, and
Others bent over his daughter, hiding his face G
