COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 9-Algernon Gran
Vile concluded his testimony in the tally
sheet case Wednt sday. He testified to a CONVEX
sation with Montgomery a year after the
forgery was committed, in which he told
Montgomery that he saw a man writing in
his room the Sunday night after the cleo,
ton. Montgomery replied: "Sh-s h-sh;
the walls have ears" The conversation took
place in Moutgomery's room.
Granville explained his new disclosures at
this trial on the ground that his conscience
troubled him. On his return to Chicago,
after the grand jury met, he had asked God
to help him, and He had helped him and had
been helping him ever sincs. McSweeny ex-
hausted all his powers of cross-examination
on the witness without shaking his testimo-
ny in the least.
Joe Bretinger testified that Myers and
Cogan were at his house about o'clock Sun
day night trying to find Montgomery's house.
He testified, further, to conversations with
Montgomery, in which the defendant asked

A debtor wac arrested under the sixth

simultaneously, bat the summons was not
returnable until the expiration of six days.
When the debtor appeared before the jos

creditor said he was not prepared for trial
and would not he until the return day OF
the summons. The debtor then
rsfusing to pay the money, or
give bond as provided by section
"A of said Chapter, was committed to jail
by the Justice to await the return day OF

that the Justice wropgfully issued the

that the law authorizing tbs arrest OF a
