Hill can be held. There is as vet no eyldence on

claim that Holland came on here as an officer OF
the law, determined TO get evidence that the
business that when he saw the supposed counter
fets put in the bag he made grab for it, intending
TO hold 1t as evidence. For, under the United
States law 1t is as much Of an offence
TO have counterfeit money in ones possession with
intent to sell as it is 70 sell 1t. Then when he saw
the change made he drew his pistol to protect nm;
self from the accOmplces of Davies, the number OF
whom, of course he did not know. Then when
Tom Davies reached behind for the purpose of lift
ing his coat to show that he was unarmed II would
be the most natural thing in the world for @
Texan to suppose that he was going TO draw
but having the drop he used it and 10
