AN IMPORTANT WITNESS.
The next witness was Frank Scougale
salOOnkeeper from Valley City, Oak,
who identined the knife as belonging to
Martin. His testimony was important
and interesting, revealing as it did that
Martin has once, at least, weakened since
arrest, and given way to feeling. Scougale
said, In substances:

Clty. L nave frequently borrowed his knife,
and had sometimes kept it for days. When
