Dwell, what did he say?
Ale said he didn't care a d-n, and
that 1 could not get in He threatened

cred. Icaught hold of him and took the
gun away from him. When Marshal
Ireland came we fonnd the witness con-
cealed in garnet in the house. Brain
refused to point out her hiding-place and
told us to look elsewhere.
Here the pistol was presented and rec
ognized by the officers and defendant as
the one used by Mr.. Brain. 1t was loaded
and in the same condition as when depu-
ties Greenman and Collin looked down
it, save that it was not cooked as on Fri

Iwent in company with Marshal Green
man to Brains house. After we got there
ing. Captain Greenman went to the
front door and raped several times be-
fore any answer was heard. | heard
parties in the back of the house and
kept close guard. l think the de-
PENDANT said, "What do you want ?"
Marshal Greenman said "Open the
door," Brain replied, 81 won't do it"
The marshal then asked him to open the
door or he would break it down. Brain
replied, eff you do, will treat you as
mob. l moved back to see if anyone
attempted to escape, when Brain came
out and started off, 1 went for him and
he swung round toward me with his re-
volver about fifteen feet from my head.
Captain Greenman then came around
another way and headed him off, when
Brain turned on him. The marshal took
the pistol from him, and then Marshal
Ireland appeared.
Mr.. Dickson-What did you tell him?
Al told him l was deputy marshal

found her in the loft over the kitchen
She must have used 4 ladder in getting
there.

would serve the papers. He asked to
see my authority, which was shown him,
and he opened the house. We asked to

and though very small he said he be-
lieved she was there. | took broom
and pushed on the cover, but could not
