thought he stole Mr.. Anderson's horse.-
WELL said Kellogg, L heard him Joke about
stealing it, "Now 1 have come to tell you
about it," Said l, Mr.. Paddock am obliged
b you for the interest you have taken in re-
gard to this matter you will please 20 back
and get Some neighbors 10 help you to watch
Mr. Kelloggs house, allowing no one to leave
it, until can get an officer and return Mr..
Simpson and myself went TO Kelogg's found
Mr.. Paddock and others watching. and Kellogg,
Potter and Myers asleep IN the house. We
entered the arrest was made, and when going
out Of the house Myers said he wanted 10 speak
with Kellogg moment. Said he, kellogg
what have they arrested me for?" They say
for stealing Mr.. Andersons horse" "Why,
is he stolen" "well do not know" said
Kellogg, "they say 3d."
How long before this did Mr.. Kellogg hear
that Myers had stolen my fathers horse, and
from whom did he hear 1t Neither my father,
my brother. nor myself had heard anything
concerning it, Speaking of Myers as the guilty
person Mr.. Kellogg says: II went to Mr.. Pad
docks to notify him that the thief was ct my
house." Query: When where. and by what
means did Mr.. Kellogg know that he was the
thief Kellogg says he was bound over for
trial upon his testimony and Mr. Potters. Mr..
J. b. Upton says this statement liz not trre-
Mr.. Upton says upon the examination of Myers
before the Justice, after the testimony Of Mr..
Kellogg had been given in, he Upton told the
Justice that be frankly admitted there was not
sufficient testimony al present to warrant the
conviction OF Myers, but he was satisfied some
other developments would be made and this
statement of the Prosecuting Attorney, aRd
another statement about what Myers had said
about kellogg being a witness against him,
which statement was as follows: "Who are
your witnesses?" Ans. 4" Kellogg and Pot
ter" When he Myers replied; I" Has Kellogg
turned against me II he has, he can send me
to the Penitentlary." MIR. Kellogg stated at
the examination, and under oath, that he heard
Myers speak of stealing the horse but it was a
joke. Now how did Nlr. Kellogg know that it
was a joke {? In the light of subsequent de-
yelopments was he UNSUITABLE in swearing thus?
Well, Myers was committed, and started next
morning in search OF the property and the
proof; spent four weeks, and found both. A
few days after my return Myers got out OF jail.
and the same night came to Mr.. Kellogg's.-
Messrs. Kellogg, Potter and Hyde were there,
and like good citizens let him go away peacably
think some good citizens would, perhaps,
have secured HIM. Perhaps these were afraid
of him. % lie asked for victuals, clothes, and
money which were promptly refused him." So
says Mr.. Kellogg. Now Mr.. Kellogg did he
not get satchel and some clothes, and some
thing to eat at your house Are you certain he
dld not! Again, are yon very certain that you
never told Leigtbor that you let him have
some money TO go Nth. ad1iug, Z" ! will not
