made another appointment but he
didn't come; l came down town and
met him in front of JEFF Davis saloon;
we then went off and talked about the
case for three hours; Henry said he
knew who did the robbing; but that
it wouldn't do to tell; that he wouldn't
live to see the sun rise; 1 talked on
with him; finally 1 asked him if l
guessed the man would he tell me; he
said he would; guessed a couple of
men; he said they were not the men;
then 1 asked him about another
man and 1 described the mans fami-
ly, said he had a wife and two child
rem, he told me then that he wouldn't
tell me who it was, that it wouldn't
do to tell; l talked with him a good
while, asked HIM then if he didn't
think the description Grimes gave of
the man didn't suit George Oglesby.

understood he could get good re-
ward for it and that we would divide
the reward; told him it was Ogles-
by; had had description of the
party. Van Hall said if that was the
case it wouldn't look right for him
to make the arrest. He asked me
how I knew; first words Van said
when 1 tolu him it was Oglesby, was,
''That's just like George to hit a
man on the cheek" We talked
there sometimes; 1 started off with
Henry; Van Hall stopped us; he said

to himself and tell him you know you
have got good case ON him and you
want him to give up that money"
