with the key holes, and heard him in Barney
keYes' room.

mand to Cassidy, which he heard, and
he also heard Cassidy say that he was
in the wrong room. II concluded it was
Cassidy" the witness continued, las | took
it to be be who had rushed upstairs
about half an hour before. Heard Barney
get up and go out, and after waiting five or
ten minutes, so that the occupant of No. |,
who was Warnock, wouldn't think it was
in Barney's room, got up and went down
stairs. This was about 80 or 5 O'clock :"
