could not.
Cross.examined-- Cannot describe the
manner in which the shots were fired by
knocking. A tall man could reach his
hand to the top OF the fence where there
is little drain under the pavement. The
fence is fully six feet high at that point.
Re-examined-Made an experiment on
the rear end of the ladies' coach and
found that person standing there could

described the approach 20 the bridge,
width Of the banister and the hight of
the posting posts supporting II, and also
the fence along the side OF the Watkins
lot. A man could not conceal himself un-
der the chord Of the bridge and could not
get under IL in q standing position nearer
than six feet from Its junction with the
bridge. The post at the front gate OF the
Purser house is about six feet high.
Cross-cxamined-r Is nothing north
OF where the mail house stood to obstruct
the view of person looking from car
on the V. & Nj. track. Never measured
the post in front OF the Purser house,
Can't tell anything about its length by
looking at a photograph, A man might
conceal himself behind the wooden post
at the corner OF the bridge. 1t is an SxS
post.
Reexamined-Can tell anything about
distance and dimensions by looking at d
photograph. II the car Is nine feet wide
and the platform five and half feet wide,
man standing on one foot on the plat
form and one on the top step, could moi
see around the end Of the car unless hC
could lean forward far enough TO get his
head beyond the side Of the car.
AT this stage OF the proceedings the de.
Tense announced that II had expected DR.

his reply:
Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 2.-0ur in
formation is that the bridge bill passed the
Senate today, amended so as to provide for
n wagon and foot way. This would entail
larger expense in construction than would
be justified by the present business or
prospective use the people would make Of
such facilities il they were furnished. It
will cost vastly more to cross the present
amount OF tonnage over bridge built
strictly for railroad use than by the pres
ent method; but the saving in time and
to avoid the liability TO interruption at.
taching to the present mode would, we
think, justify a strictly railroad bridge,
but nothing more expensive. think II a
wagon way is insisted upon, IL will result
in no bridge being built, at least for many
years.
