EDWARD GoDDEN.--I saw q grey or
white team between 10 and IL on one
of crossings between Deardorff's shop
and my place, two men in the buggy,
one thought at the time to be Chas.
Ridgeway sitting next me as they
passed; do not know the other; it is
still impressed upon my mind that it
was r.; can not locate the spot where
l met them; can't say how II. was
dressed; he had on dark hat; they
were driving fast toward town; know
Il. when l see him; am ordinarily cor
rect in identifying my acquaintsnces.
Cross er.-Not certain in which di-
rection buggy was going; not certain
which OF my two trips down town,
one just at dusk and one much later,

about 9t O'Clock; 1t was not later than
1918 when got home; John Haley
went with me to within so #. of my
gate; he was not with me when / saw
the buggy; did not see the buggy
within 30 #. of my gate; came down
town afterwards on another errand
within 10 min.; did not stay at Kinks
over min; can't say whether 1t was
on this trip or first saw buggy; don't
remember how dark; If it was star
light | could have distinguished
mans features at the distance the
buggy was from me-f mean an Ordi-
nary starlight night; it could not have
been later than 10! o'clock when
met buggy; think McGee's was open,
Miller's did not notice.

ward WITNESS described STOPPING posi-
tion muffiing Of party nearest him in

Cross er-'TWas either 1903 or 1903;

McGee's; it was neither very light or
very dark; think moon didn't shine;
stars were out; could distinguish
mans countenance about 10 feet
Re direct.-Don't know exact time;
