ing the house was about three-fourths
Williams of Dallas and Haney of
Weatherrord were absent when the tes-
timuny began, but the latter came In
soon, having been delayed by late
train.
Mr.. Hanks suggested that the doors
had been opened TO the public, and
that they had availedthemselyes OF
the privilege by large majority.
He, therefore, thought it well to have
the policemen attending act AS ushers,
and to have them close the doors rs
soon rs the seats were all occupied, SO
rs TO prevent such crowds rs that of
Saturday night accommodating again.
President kimbrough spoke IN the
same line, and motion to that effect
prevailed.
Mr.. Hanks moved that an admission
should be charged at the door to help
defrav expenses.
Mr.. Ball said he had thought of that
himself at the first, but DR.. Murphy
and his family preferred, us poor as
they were, to pay their part, rather
light of public spectacle
Mr.. Furman also objected on behalf
of his client, Mr.. Eaton.
MIR. Hanks withdrew his motion.
