expect to come so far or something of that
sort, or would pay the next time lie came;
| said all right aud went back to my work
(hotel register produccd); was there when
he came, but don't think saw him when
he came; but think | saw him register
from the fact Of my mark of ''1' and 81
horse" against his name; saw him III parlor
just before tea should say the prisoner
was the man who registered himself as
Phar; had seen him previously, at least
that was my impression when called to the

easily.
