Demaine, were sworn and their testim"-
ny was in confirmation of portions of
the evidence given by P. Zurruth and

requested Riddle to show him some au-
thority by law to allow a wife to testify
where her husband was an Accomplice,
and the witness was withdrawn until the
authority could be produced
Columbus Alexander was sworn and
testified that the books of John .. Ev-
aus were produced before tho committee
investigating the affairs of the District of
Columbia; the books had very new ap-
pearance, and it was the general belief
that they were not the original books,
but set prepared for the. occasion;
wher the witness desired to examine
them, Harrington objected; shortly after
wards Demaine introduced to the wit
ness a man named Butler, who said he
could put witness in possession of the
original books of Evans, and asked what
no would pay, witness said he would not
pay for any testimany, but if the books
were out of town be would pay the cx-
pressage or expense incurred in procur-
ing them; neither witness not any of his
family heard the bell ring at his house
on the night of the burglary, or anything
unusual about the house; witness heard
of the burglary on the morning of April
24th, and heard that his name was COLI
nected with it, and lost no time in get
ting to the Capitol; witness had nothing
whatever to do with the burglary, in any
manner shape or form.
This closed the direct examination of
Mr.. Alexander. Adjourned.
