Brown here read from Harris affidavit,
wherein he said he talked with them,
Witness replied that there were state
ments in the affidavit which he did not
make. Brown read other portions aud
witness denied making the statements
read. He said Shay put in things didn't
authorize him to put in.
Mr.. Brown then read nearly every state.
ment in the affidavit and Harris denied
making majority Of them.

alter Shay wrote It.
Patrick Bolen, City Marshal OF Coying.

Mr.. Campbell here stated 10 the com.
mittee that one witness, Charles Hayman,
had just been arrested on capias from
Prosecuting Attorney Campbell; said Mr..
Wright had gone out Of the room Just pre-
yious to the arrest. He asserted the ar.
rest was made to get the witness out OF

there ought not to be any conflict here
