The examination Of N. r. Lewinan, Sheriff
of t'uinam County, Ind, wis continued.
Witness gave an account of an interview he
had with Il man named Heath, who came in 4
mail ear from Washington to Grccncastlc.
Heath was tryin" To find II location tor coini"d
cini.rants, and had lrttcrs to Judge Martin
dale and Col. Holloway. prominent Indiana
Republicans. Witness represented himself to
Heath :s Republican and i'll that way
gained the laifrrS confidence. witness ties
titled that Heath told him, anon. other things
that one reason Tor the coi.B-,a people lrlv-
ing North Carolina WAS t" bette: their coI.di-
tion. and another reason wa> mat heir friends
In Washing stOn. desired many OF them ~
possible 10 get out of North Carolina and into
Indiana before tine ccfsils wis taken, about
May ], so AS to decrease the representation of
North Carolina and increase that of Iudi-
ana. Ten thousand intended TO come.
On cross examination by Winion, the wit
ness stated that his county is well settled mp.
There il no demand for labor there. Much
dissatisfaction is felt on account of the emf
grafton. not hcCa;ISc of the cui::rIf.t-' color,

destitute condition and have To- be supported
by he county, and bcr:iu>rtii',y "vrr>t"ck the
labor market. There is II! feeling among the
iihOrers col both political parties. IL sometimes
takes the shape of threats. One man who
hired some OF the negroes had his barn
burned u few days later. This matter was be-
fore til. Grand Jury. Witness preferred on
that account not to speak q! it. There were
