able to the prisoner, or because being 10th to diverge from @ given opinion or statement The witness disclaimed any such motive. He did not remember ever having said that he had been waveringor uncertain as to the wood lot time
 o. Do you know John H. Futile, law yer of New Haven. whom have the pleas ure of knowing? A. do. Have net him in his house while was visiting in the same block. Have met him once or twice before in this court room. I think it is possible I might have convsrsed with MT. Futile about the Hayden case.
 o. Didn't you call on him and say that you expected to be called at the Hayden trial, and
 hated to be called because not certain as to the time you were to testify to? Objected to
 by MT. Waller. MT. Jones to Mir. Waller:
 Yes, mean that he said just that
 The Relations Between the Pastors
 Witness did not remember that he said so.
 Mir. Jones asked how he then was so posi-
 tive as to conversation of year ago. The
 witness was next asked if he was positive
 about anything.
 MT. J. You've been very bitter against Mr. Hayden, haven't you? A. No, sir. Q. Haven't you called lady in your con-
 gregation Judas because she sympathized
 with Hayden? A. No, sir. Q. Didn't you preach sermon about the
 case2 A. No, sir. preached 8 sermon
 about Judas once.
 o. Didn't you call an oldlady, Mrs. Stone, 8 member of your church, a Judas because she believed in MT. Hayden? A. No, sir, never. think have never tried to persuade

 Did the Cow Make a ROVs The clergyman was asked to designate by i indicating upon his person the height of that COW. MT. Jones stood near to see the result. MT. Waller objected to the business as im- proper and intended as an afront. The court allowed the witness to designate
 as he pleased.
 Mr. Jones. We'll, indicate upon my person then. I am not so sensitive. MT. Waller. Which end shall he begin ? Gaughter.)
 Mir. Jones. may be calf half way up, but thank God am not so all the way up. Oaugh- ter.)
 After considerable more rhetoric and talking the witness announced that the COW might be 34 feet high, and dthat he thought the COW could get through the hole into the barn without any trouble. He thought if there was any tEing inside the barn that the COW would crave
 for. as a tender morsel, he should calculate that the COW would manage to get in through that hole after it.
 Mr. Waller-Mr. Gibbs, are you conscious of any personal hostility toward MT. Hay den ? Objected to. Court allowed the question. Ans. would like to state the first time I saw Mir. Hayden was coming from Durham to Madison GA halt made and question re- peated.) Ans. (slowly and deliberately No, sir; have no such feelings. o Was this man ever sent away or driven away from your house without his breakfast A. No, sir.
 Mr. Watrous hardly thought that proper. christian feeling existing. MT. Waller. And wish to show that up in Rockland among $2O0 a-year ministers there was no such feeling prevailing (Amuss 1 ment.)

 have carted wood from that lot got my frewood there. Have had spry and old horses. 1 Yes, never had any trouble to drive horse around that lot anywhere. Drove around ii 1 perhaps fifty times on that day gathering up the wood as it lay. I was in the habit of so
 doing about 8 years, every year in that time,
 more or less. was up the road where the
 Stannards live with Hayden two years ago. Yes, I have heard of Fox Ledge Rock. We l took a cart path near the Stannard house and 1 went up into the Bragg lot and went south by 1 the Fox Ledge Rock and took another path
 and came out by the Mary Ann Chittenden l place. Yes, think we could have seen Fox I Ledge Rock.
 To MT. Watrous-We went after chestnuts l That's what we started for. No, sir, never 1 went with him but upon that one occasion. ! Don't know that part of the object was with
 regard to hoop poles We went expressly after | chestnuts We got few, didn't have very good luck. Yes, know where Luzsrne Stevens house is. Lived there when we took this trip. Know Of path back of his house to that region l The Chittenden lot is over a mile from Lu- | zerne Stevens house and northwest of it. Mr. Watrous now took the witness in charge at close quarters, and study of Rockland | woods-that portion where the witness sai6 | he went with Hayden-was had by means ot 1 the map. This over, Mir. Watrous resumed
 the direct attack.
 Never Heard of 'Em. o. Now, didn't you that winter get out | hoop poles and get them to New Haven A.
 I don't know but did. o. You wouldn't swear you didnt2 A.
 6. You didn't stop at Fox Ledger A. | No, sir.
 Q. Didn't give it lookP A. No, sir. 0. Did you know there was such place A. Yes, sir.
 Q. You didn't call anybody's attention te it? A. No, sir.
 Q. You don't know that any one could set | it without stepping out of the way do you | A. don't know that one could. 1 Q. Did you know of Whippoorwill Rock
 A. No, sir. Never heard it called Whippoor
 will Rock till after the murder. Yes, there ii
 another so called in my fathers pasture lot | back of Benjamin Stevens. 0. You didn't know of any such rock al Big Rock? A. No, sir.
 | @. How long had you lived in that neigh
 borhood? A. Ever since was boy. | o. When were you asked about going out of the way and taking the path? A. No
 until recently, comparatively. 1t only cam'
 up to my mind on hearing things about th | trial.
 l Q. You simply went with Hayden to Mrs C.'s lot to get chestnuts. Now, for wha
 reason did you go such strange way, whel you might have gone by the direct path, righ I back of your house? A. To avoid a yer,
 bad hill to climb. You could go just as quicl | to go round by Stannard's, and more easily.
 Q. That path was worn by your own foot
 steps and those of your men who burned coal A. Yes.
 o. But on that trip when you had tht company of the village clergyman, you tool
 the most circuitous way had no regard fo ! the cloth. And why did you take him around
 when the path you daily took, instead O going around, was so much more feasible
 as you say? A. My work was two-thirds uI
 the path.
 | The Wood Let Now and Formerly. o. How large space was covered by that par | of the lot around which you drove with suct \ facility A. Perhaps hVe or SIX acres 4 great deal larger space was covered with wood when got it than now.

 citation there, such as vines and canker briars \ A.-Yes.
 | Q.-Would it be ridiculous for man to ex I tricate his wood from vines and bogs ant holes, and pile it.up before hauling it 7? A. ! No, sir To Mir. Waller.-My way was te | get it away as fast az cut it.
