ST. LOUIS, Dec. 20.-A special to the Post
Dispatch from Hillsboro, says: Sheriff Haines,
of Taylorville, was the first witness this after
noon. He testified that he and Attorney Dren-
nan had fitted the toe nail pairing to Montgom,
ery's toe at the Jail. Montgomery was perfectly
willing to have it done. The pairing was thicker
than Montgomery's toe nail. 1t fitted at one
corner, but on the other side did not fit at all
Witness put Clements and Pettis in Jail. He
examined Montgomery's clothing carefully
They appeared to have beeu worn three or four
days. He saw no blood or other stains On them.
He examined Clements clothing the night OF
his arrest. His shirt was red and blue stripes.
The red stripes had run some, from what cause
he was not satisfed, and he examined it again
underclothss. He also examined Pettis' cloth
ing. Neither under garment had the appear
ance of being wet, and there were no
stains on any of his garments. All
the clothes had evidently been worn several
days. There was no conversation between the
prisoners that day. When cross-examined the
witness said. the prisoners were taken to Jail
about sunrise but were not put in cells Till noon
Tn the afternoon Clements and Pettis were in a
cell while Montgomery was out looking Tor
bond The witness was not at the jail all the
time but knew the prisoners could not have
been put together. He examined the clothes
for his own satisfaction. This testimony offsets
that of the convict Mapes, who said the defend
ants had consultation the morning they were
put in Jail. &C.,. ,
| Thomas Hart testified that he tried to put Mr..
Dickerson up through the scuttle hole in the
school house the morning after the outrage. The
witness is six feet two inches high and weighs ITO
pounds. Dickerson weighed 1856 pounds. Mr..
Hammel was in the loft. He tied shawl
around Dickerson and lifted him above my
head. He stood on chair and held him up as
high as he could but Dickerson did not come
within two feet Of the ceiling. Hamme1l pulled
him up and helped all I could by boosting.
Charley Mavers, nine years old, whs was IN
the school house 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. l eat my
dinner in the school house yard and then went
to the coal house and played till Miss Bond
came back. l was not in the school house
during the noon recess. I said my lessons
after dinner and then had a recess
during which Miss Bond went to the Pettls
House. stayed round the school house and did
not go away from there. 1 saw old john and
young John Montgomery daring recess going
alorg the road past the school house. Young
John asked me why was not playing with the
school children. I said there wasn't any. he
said: We'll, wait and I'll come back and wrestle
with vou,' When Miss Bond came back we went
into the school house. I told her there was a
noise in the loft and said I thought there were
tramps up there She said no, it's rats The
souttle hole was open all day. saw mud that
morning on the wall under the scuttle. sald
to Tie teacher: Look at that;' but she said
nothing. When Cross examined the witness
said he laid on the roof of the coal house kick
ing up his heels. He couldn't see the school
house door. This witness was on the stand an
hour and a half and made many statements
which differed from those made at the prelimi-
nary trial.
