ST. LOUIS, Dee. 20.-A special to
the P0si-Dlspatch from Hillsboro, ILL.,,
says: Sheriff Haines, OF Taylorsvillc,
was the first witness this morning.
He testified that h- and Attorney
Dcnan had fitted the toe nail pairing 10
Montgomery toe at the Jail; Mont
gomcry was perfectly willing TO have
II done; the pairing was thicker than
Montgonery's toe nail; 1t fitted at one
corner but on the other side it did not
tit at all; the witness put Clements
and Petlis in Jail; lac examined
Montgomery clothes carefully; they
appeared To have bren worn three or
four days; he saw no blood >or other
stains on them; he examined Clements
clothes the night of his arrest; he
found no stains on the shirt or under
clothes; he also examined Pettis' cloth
ing; neither undergarinent had the
appearance of being wet and there
were no stains Oh any Of his garments:
all the clothes had evidently been
worn several days; there was noconver-
sation between the prisoners that day.
Cross-eXanined the witness said: The
prisoners we re taken to Jail about sun
rise but were not put in cells till noon;
In the afternoon Clements and Pcttis
were in the cell while Montgomery
was out looking for bondsmcn; the
witness was not ut the Jail all the time,
but knew the prisoners could not have
been put together; he examined the
clothing for his own satisfaction. This
testimony offsets that of the convict
Naples, who said the defendants had
"A conversation the morning they
were put IN Jail. Thomas Hart testi-
fled that he tried to put Mr.. Dickerson
up through the scuttle hole In the
sch0oihouse the morning after the out
rage. The witness tx six feet two
inches high and weighs l1o pounds;
Dickrrson weighs l35 pounds; Mr..
HamnIel was in the loft; he tied u
shawl around Dickerson and lifted
him above my head; he stood on a
chair and lifted him up Ms high rs he
could, but Dickerson did not come
within two feet of the ceiling; Ham,
mel pulled him up aIi ! helped all l
could by boosting. Charley Mavers,
nine years old, who was in The school
with Emma Bond and left just before
the assault testified: II was the only
scholar that afternoon /; Miss Bond
took dinner at Montgomery's where
she boarded; ate my dinner in the
sclnolhOuse and then Went to the coal
house ami played there till Miss Bond
came back; / was not In the school
house during the noon Tecess; l said
nv lessons after dinner and then had
recess during which Miss Bond went
10 the Pettis house; ] stayed round the
coal house; did not 20 away from
there; | saw old John and yolfng John
Montgomery during the recess going
along the road past the school irnuse;
young John asked me why wasn't
playing with the sclool children; |
said there wasn't any; he said, well,
wal, aud I'll come back aud wrestle
with you;' when Miss Bond came back
we went in tl.sciool house; I told her
| there WIS noise In the loft and said
thought there were tramps up there;
she said, No, its rats the scuttle hole
was opcR all day; / saw mud that
morning on the wall under the scuttle;
| said to the teacher look ut that but
she said nothing" Cross-exarnined the
witness SAID he laid ON the roof of the
. rol house kicking up his heels; he
couldn't see the school house door;
J this witness was on the stand nm hour
a half and made many statements
which differed from those made ut the
preliminary trial.
