day w n. Butts offered him 50 to vote for a
certain candidate, but that the money was not
paid kim in hand the defendant placed the
coin on a log, and he (the witness) afterward
picked it mp, but did not vote as he was di-
rected. A large number of truthful citi-
zens testified that they would not believe

he was followed by General Edwards, who
gave Kennedy and Canon a terrible scorching.
Colonel Ellis then addressed the jury in be
