jec1 from 128th chapter and 3rd Sec
lion of the Revised Code.
The prisoners are indicted on two
counts-one for burning and the other
for firing, 1t is necessary that notice
| should be taken of one fact in conncc-
tion with this case-that is, that there
| are indictments In several more cases
of fires to be brought to the attention
| of This court, and the evidence in this
GASP will connect them together moro
or sss closely.
The Deputy Attorney General then
| proceeded to state that in the case now
| before them they would show that on
the night the 18Th of February
these prisoners were together with
another wLo will be produced upon
the stand aud whose tcstimoney the
defense will attempt to impcach and
we shall trace them step by step. We
shall show HAT England Moore and
| Titus we've together on 3d street carly
that evening, that from thence they
went towards the railroad and stopped
in ht saloon, that they were at Feb
renbach's saloon when the fire broke
| out in French street, that they were at
the saloon at 9th and Market when the
1 hrd broke out in Orange street above
9TH. From thenc, we will follow
thdm TO Crumlishs stable tracing
thdm all the way along. The reason
why | call your attention this to what
we shall prove is because the princi-
| pal witness for the State is one whose
testimony will be severely attacked
| This witnesses testimony the State
proposes to corroborate ard if we sue
coed we shall ask for verdict at your
hahds.
