works. He saw Christie, the prisoner,
at the gas works on the Tuesday after
the Gleen murder, and he remained at
the gas works and slept on the floor for
four nights. He had paper there, but
the witness did not know what paper it
was. He knew nothing about the wit
ness writing with chalk on the walls.
On the fourth morning he saw some
writing on the walls. Another man,
about Christie's height, but heavier, was
with him. Evidence Us to this man was
ruled out. The witness first missed
Christie on Friday evening.
With this witness Prosecuting Attor.
ney Jordan announced that the State
would rest.
Mr.. Sommerville questioned Mr.. Tim

Christie's coming to GAINESVILLE, and he
admitted that it might have been the
next week after the Glenn murder.
After some consultation between the
prisoners and their counsel, court took
recess until p. M.
After the noon recess, Mr.. Somerville
recalled Walter Joy, and asked him il
he did not say the day before that he
did not expect any reward or compensa-

case. He said he did not; he said moth
ing OF that kind. He has not said to
anybody to-day that he thought he ought

Did you not say you thought the peo-
Pile who were suffering here ought to
have part of the reward?

He was asked who Keller was, and
Iaid he was q man of West Newark, a
Further evidence rs to
Keller was ruled out. At last Joy ad-
nitted that he had said he thought those
who were here ought to have the money
divided among them, and he explained
hat Mr. Chew had said something like
his and he had assented.
Then why did you say yesterday you
expected no part of this reward and
would make no claim for it? The wit
ness was allowed 10 go after some little
lime without answering this question.
Mr.. Sommerville said: "We will put
Harry Christie on the stand.
Christie was sworn and took the stand
mid oppressive silence, and throughout
lis examination the interest was in

old his story with little questioning,
using good words in the right way. Ell
iorts to confuse him were in vain.
cHRIsTIE's STORY.
Christie said on the 18th OF last jan
uary he was at Fairmont, on the B. K o.
road in this State. He got there on the
. o'clock train on Saturday night and
went TO the Hough house. Afterwards
he went over TO Palatine and staid all
night. He came back the next morning
and remained till 8 o'clock. Then he
went up a mile or so toward Grafton,
to a saloon, which he described.
He staid there till at night and then
came down to Fairmont and took the
express train and came to Glovers Gap,
where he stopped at hotel near the B.
( o. Railroad. The landlady asked him
81 for supper and he did not eat. He
went to bunk house where the train
hands stop and asked where he could
get drink. He traded book for pint
OF whisky. He drank the whisky and
went to sleep. Sunday morning he went
over to the store and it was not
open. He described the store with
great circumstantiality. He bought
some eggs and stuff from the proprietor
OF the store after he came. These he took
over to the sand house and boiled them.
Each locality he named was described
with great care as to detail. He staid
there till probably II o'clock, when he
came on the train to Moundsville. A
man named Thomas, short man with
red mustache, was with him. He got to
Moundsville between $3.50 and p. N.
He staid at Moundsville till Monday
morning and then came to Wheeling.
Here he got shaved and his hair cnt.
He went down to Moundsville again,
from there to Cameron, and from Cam
eron TO Fairmont. He came back to
Wheeling Thursday evening, and from
here went to GAINESVILLE, arriving there
on Sunday. He remained there four or
five days, and then went to Findlay,
then TO the place where ES-President
Haves lived. Then he went back to
Findlay. He got back to Newark on the
morning OF the 24th. He first met Kelly
there that morning He was arrested
there that morning at ten o'clock, and
had been in jail there since till he was
taken to Mt. Vernon and then brought
here. He was not in Wheeling on the
night OF January II nor the morning OF
January 10, and had nothing whatever
to do with the killing Of Officer Glenn in
this city.
Cross examined He knew it was the
oath he got to Newark because it was
the day he was arrested. He knew he
was arrested on the 24th because the
Newark evening paper, the AdrOcGte, OF
the oath, contained an account OF the
arrest.
He met Kelly on the railroad at New
ark. Kelly was sitting there. The
witness asked him something about
trains, as he wanted TO take the train
and 90 to Columbus. Then he invited
Kelly to take drink, and they did take
one, the witness paying for them. He
met Kelly before Z o'clock in the morn
ing. They got breakfast at a restaurant
on a side street leading of the Square
