but he changed color when Mr.. purdy
arose and shouted:

Mr. Price leaped to his fee, trembling
with excitement at the cunning of the
prosecution.

NIL. VERY PALE.
Hill was very pale and his eyes gilt
tered as he approached the witness stand
in obedience TO the Justices or
der. Holland smiled leather sort
of smile. Then there was a
fierce passage OF arms between the pros
ecutor and his opponents. Mr.. Grady
ordered Hill To refuse TO be sworn.
"Imove that he be committed to the
house of detention as a witness for the
people, and that he also be committed for
contempt" said Mr., Purdy.
81 certainly will commit him." saia
the court, "and l'll fix his bail at $4,000. 4
"No counterfeit money bail, ether"
suggested Mr.. Howe.
"Well, deposit the $4,000 bag!"
shouted Mr.. Grady.
"Oh, no. Tom Grady. You won't get
your hands on that" cried Mr.. Howe.
And, singularly enough, Mr., Humme
solemnly closed one eye, opened it very
rapidly, and saidY "Ile, he, he" very
gently, Then he smiled and looked quite
happy So did Mr.. Howe.
After that one of the Texan merchants,
who had been supplying the prisoners
with cigars and kind words, re-
ceiyed big roll of money from
Hill. He then offered TO deposit
$4,000 in money, as the court had re-
duced the bail TO that amount. Justice
German said he could not accept money,
AS 1t should be deposited with the city
chamberlain. SO Mr. Hill went TO the
house of detention.
Col. Crosby of Texas, who was In court,
said that he had known Hin and Holland
for many years. He said they both stood
high in the towns in which they lived, and
that he could not believe either would
deal in counterfeit money. When he
said to Holland in the Toombs, "Jim,
believe you innocent of the killing, but
I'm afraid of the other bad business"
Holland lifted up his hands and said, "lf
my friends believe ] could be guilty OF
that may well despair"
