whether Rover is a brave or timid man
I consider him timid man from his
conversations he gets excited easily aud
gets over it quickly; may have spoken
sharply to him once or twice; had no
occasion to do so frequently; / told
him in substance that I would have
things my way, and he submitted; /
made no suggestions to the Sheriff as
to the direction the search should be
made; told him where I saw Rover one
morning with rope in his hand while
pretending to look for the horse; told
the Sheriff this after we had found q
portion of the remains; we followed
tracks from the camp to the remains;
1paid particular attention to the tracks;
all had not been made on one trip; the
distance from the camp to the Dearest
remains was about $50 yards; I drew
the SherIff's attention to track where
the whole impression of the boot was
plain: it correspondent with the pris-
oner's boot, which fitted it exactly; did
not notice whether the soil crnmbled
on cides of the track when the Sheriff
had him place his boot in it; had no
donbt that Rover had done the work
after the Sheriff found Sharp's coat; the
Sheriff did not ask me to examine the
track; did it to satisfy myself; l had no
donbt OF its being Rover's track; do not
know what bank Sharp drew his money
ont of nor the amount drawn; l never
had Rover's boots on; I wear 9's he 8's;
the Indian who came to the camp the
day after Sharp's disappearance wore
mocassinss Rover has no interest in
airy Ling with me. So
The witness here gave a detailed ac-
count of his acquaintance with Rover,
the substance Of which has heretofore
been published in these columns.
REDIRECT EXAMINATION.
l have an account of the money re-
ceived from Sharp; my account aud his
correspond; saw no tracks Of other
boots in ravine near the remains; saw
what took to be the same tracks from
the ravine to each portion of the re-
mains; the horse kept at camp was an
average traveller. l can identify Sharp's
clothes.
RE-CgoSs EXAMINATION.
Saw 10 other tracks; vas not looking
for any other kind. | cannot swear
that all the tracks | saw we're made by
the same or similar boots. Neither of
the attorneys for the prosecution have
Instructed me what TO say. Have talked
with me good deal about it.
THE saERIFF's TESTIMONY.
Sheriff Nash was then introduced by
the prosecution, and upon being sworn
testified in substance as follows:
