There is the papers," said the witness,

mere ID the papers, said the witness,
holding bundle up, land it is all true as Gods
holy writ"
In reply to a question as to where he was on
| the night Of August I'D. the witness said that
when ne went home he found George H. Moore,
an agent Of the Department of Justice, sitting
on his door step. The latter had moved into the
house next door. The witness knew him in Phil
adephia and he invited him into his house. He
sat there talking with him and other friends.
The witness then accounted minutely where he
passed that night and with whom. He was not
in Drivers on the 2lst or the 22d. He did not
see Bowen on either of those days.
THE CARD WHICH BOWEN SENT
to Dickson was presented to the witness, and he
said that colored boy from Drivers, August
"a, handed him it, saying: DRIVERS this even
ing at o'clock, Bowen" The witness told the
boy that there was no answer. and wrote on the
back, Received at my Office at $40 p. m, Au-
gust "a, from colored boy who said that Col.
Bowen had sent it."
"Did youkeep that engagement with Bowena"
asked Mr.. Smith,
81 did not" said the witness, 81 was five
miles from there"
Ibid you ever have any conversation with
Bowen about seeing Brewster Cameron" asked
Mr.. Smith.
''Never," replied the witness.
els the account given by Bowen Of the trans
action at Drivers correct, as given In his EVIL
dence?"
81 object, said Mr.. Wells, "you can not deny
by wholesale"
"Well, it is wholesale lie," put in Mr. Smith.
MR.. WELLS PROTESTED
against such remarks. He hoped that II he was
ever detected calling witness liar, he hoped
that he would be disbarred.
The court said that the counsel must moderate
their language. He could not be Influenced by
such remarks, and they ought not to be made.
The court then went on to say that If the
counsel for the defense wished to overthrow
Bowen's testimony they must do 1t by specific
questions, comparing the testimony Of Bowen
with that of the witness. The court had seen
that Bowen placed his main conversation with
Dickson on the 22d and Mr.. Dickson places the
conversation on the evening OF the Esd.
THE WITNESS DENIED
that Mr.. Driver said on the evening of the intro
duction of Bowen to Dickson "You remember
your old friend, Col. Bowen" He denied, as
Bowen had testified, that he was at Drivers on
the 22d, and that he did not have q converse
tion with Bowen.
Witness did not ask Bowen II the government
desired to convict, nor did he hear Bowen say
he assumed that it did; no such conversation
ever occurred. Various extracts of Bowen's
testimony were read as to the nversatiOns on
August 22d, which he denied. Witness was 40
qualnted with the Attorney General; hac known
him from his boyhood.
Mr.. Wells asked at this point as to how much
more time the defense would require, with the
view of suiting the convenience of witness.
Mr.. Smith said, independent of the time con-
sumed in cross-examination, one more day
would suffice the defense
Mr.. Wells asked at 2:1O that the case be ad-
tourned at this point, owing to an engagement
he had, and the case was adjourned until to-
morrow at IL o'clock, if the court can take it up
at that hour.
