THE JEANETTE COURT
resumed examination of Ninderman this
morning. In describing the march to the
south on September Goth, witness said that
Just before noon Erickson told him he
could not 60 much further. Witness tried
to encourage him, but without avail. In
attempting to repeat Erickson's language
when he became disabled, witness broke
down, and gasped out, II cannot go on
now, sir" and hastily left the room. The
incident was most pathetic, the court and
spectators being deeply impressed. The
president of the board ordered a recess,
saying, Poor fellow; he never broke down
up there when he was put to test, but sym.
After recess Nindermann resumed and
said that Erickson said to him (Ninder-
MANN, 81 don't care how far you go; l
can't 20 any further" The balance of the
testimony was a reiteration of the former
statements.
