sition could not be closed to-day, therefore
he wished continuance.
! Mr.. Tyler-I object; there is no witness
here.
Notary Jackson-You object on account
of the non-appearance of the witnessg
Mr.. Tyler-I object because no good ground
has been given by counsel, but they wish it
to go over l also ask that the witness be
punished for contempt in not appearing here.
Captain Bell-That is further ground for
asking a continuance. Another ground Is
that counsel has stated that at the close of his
deposition the witness will be arrested on
charge Of perjury. We have sent for certain
witnesses, and we don'E want the deposition
closed until those witnesses arrive.
Mr.. Tyler-We deny that the witness is
here.

his absence l viii bring him here.
