On crOss-examinat;on-M Cohen had on

| ton stores there.
! BY Mr.. Castellanos-There arc come
cOfeehOuses, one on the corner Of Natche.
| stree. and one at the St. James; didn't
| notice whether people came from public
houses: there was buggy IN front Of Nor
| gan's; the horses heads were toward
Natchez street; the carriage was nearer
Natchez street than tie buggy: the carriage
! didn't have to 60 around the buggy: there
were several drays on the street; got off q
dray to see what was going on; could see
the pillars of the building and the people
on the steps and coming out of the auction
stores: got there before the shot was fired;
didnt see the man do anything but fire
the pistol; the horses were just turning the
corner; it was on the lower side Of Maya
zine street, toward Canal, on the right side;
he (COhen) was walking after the car
riage in the street; l knew Mr.. Cohens
face by sight before: he worked in an
insurance office somewhere near Gravier;
don't know how often have seen Cohen; have
seen him on Magazine street; never noticed
his dress except that time.
Frank McShane. screwman-Some time
in "forrad" part Of May went into the
corner of Natchez and Magazine streets
with a friend and got drink; while there
heard a shot, and came out and saw
gentleman going down with a pistol in his
hand near Morgan's ctfice; know the man;
I believe that Mr.. Cohen! is the man: it
was pretty well ON toward the evening.
Bv Major Newt was Mcguire who took
a drink with me when the shot was fired;
we were inside; didn't see any carriage; saw
a buggy; the man had on a black coat, light
pants and plug hat; he had . pistol in his
right hand; stood in the Magazine street
door; can't tell what he did with his pistol
never saw Mr.. Cohen before: have seen
him since on Camp and Canal streets; I
am sure l ann not mistaken in saying Mr..
Cohen is the man who fired the shot
BY Mr.. Castellanos-I know two men
named Jack Lee; one belongs to my society;
l have heard Of the Jacobs case; / have
seen him: went to work one morning be-
tore seven o'clock on the ship Memphis.
Mr.. CastelanOs then said that was what
he wanted-tO connec. the two men-and
it shed flood of light on this and another
case.
Victor Vaught-Eas Lived in the city
three years and half. Mr. Naught spoke
through an interpreter. The Attorney Gen
eral offered in evidence a commission of
Governor McEnery to the witness as cap
tain of the militia. Defense did not object
1t was dated March ). 1879; was present at
club meeting; not secret society; met
over the Bismarck: there are l05 members;
l was president; we held no meeting prior
to May :; since the election we had one
social meeting for personal purposes: never
attended any meetings above Canal street;
never was at any meeting where the killing
of Kellogg was discussed; l am not under
any restrictions as to not telling what l
know: never heard any but ordinary con-
versations; heard some people say Kellogg
had better get out OF he would be killed:
can not name ony persons: have been some
ten times to McEnerys Office on CarOndelet
street: Scott and Cam pbeli came; Warmoth
was there.
Counsel for defense here objected Mr.
Semmes said this had been allowed to go
on too long. He objected because i. was
irrelevant. The Attorney General could
not honestly say that he could connect any
such meetings with the defendants. After
several counsel had been heard or both
sides the court ovecruled the objection. on
the ground that greater latitude was al
lowed in the evidence IN cases OF con
spiracy.
The court then TOOK 4 recess till seven
o'clock.
Victor Vaught's examination resumed
At the time of the shooting the witness was
a. the corner of Dryades and Baronne
streets: was there told that the Governor
had been shot.
The defense had no questions TO ask.
The prosecution then offered the 2Tal.:
report Of the meeting a: the Clay statue. to
which the counsel fo- the defense objected.
and the court ruled it inadmissable. MIR.
NJ. NJ. Cohen argued that if that was ad-
mitted as evidence the consequences would
be terrible.
Alexander Walker. draynan-Lived here
eight years. was On Natchez street at the
time of the shooting; owns his dray and
mule; went to the corner to see Governor
Kellogg: never had seen him: Murray and
J Justin were with him; cav the Governor
