he recognized defendant. Sold pair OF
overals, March Il. 1886, for so cents, to man
answering description of the defendant The
overas were blue denim, purchased in
New York. The man tried the overalls on in
the store. Next saw the man who bOnght
them in the same store next day, when he
was brought there by two detectives. Wit
ness thought then that Martin was the man
who bought the Overalls, and thought SO now.
AT the time of the call, young Abrams and
MIR. Warend Orph were present. Witness eX-
amined the Overalls offered by Mr.. Egan, and
said they were like the ones sold. On cross
examination, witness said he might have
sold other overalls that day. but no other
kind of overalls were kept at the same price.
He could not swear positively that Martin
was the man, but thought he was.
Edward Warrendorph testified that he was
in the Golden Eagle store on March II, and
saw man answering the description of the
defendant and pointed out Martin as the man.
Saw him buy a pair of overalls and try them
on. He next saw the man two days after at
police headquarters in St. Paul, and identi-
fed him as the man who bought the overalls.
Had always been positive about the man
identification. Mrs Emma Davis, wife Of the
hotelkeeper at the transfer, testified that
Martin took supper with Billy Ryan at the
hotel March II; witness waited on the table.
Next morning she went to the apartment used
for private purposes in the rear of the hotel
and found pair of blue overalls and two ac-
count books. She took them out of the
vault She did not examine the OveTaIls to
see if they were bloody. Thought the overalls
in court were the ones. Identified the books
shown by Mr.. Egan as the ones found in the
vault.
SOME FRESH EVIDENCE.
J. T. Davis, hotelkeeper at the transfer,
who has never testified before, testified that
he saw Martin about supper time at the
hotel March II. He next saw him about 6:45,
when he came into the bar-rOom, went to the
sink, washed himself and inquired when he
could get a train to Minneapolis. He shook
dice aud took drink. Witness told Martin

In the afternoon on the opening of court
Mr.. RyaIksaid that he had been prosecuting
little investigation in connection with some
of the testimony, and and he asked to recall
Edward J. Warreudorph. The court allowed
it and Mr.. Warrendorph was recalled. In
answer to Mr.. Ryan's questions he said that
while his true name was Warrendorph, he
had registered at the Clarendon hotel on Dec.
IL last as E. W. Thompson, Fort Benton, Oak.
When it came Judge Egan's turn to ques-
ton the witness he said:
''Why did you register as E. W. Thomp-
