The theory of the defense was that Allen

there was a good deal Of fan. The wit
ness WAS first asked # Allen bad ever Deeh
at her house. She said no had been there

somstimfs he stayed there all week. Then
she capped the clim1x by sayIAg

She said Allen had tried tn get Randall to

said Allen had given him. she sad she
knew il was the day OF the arrest. bfcaust
she WAS in Mart ChisnelPs saloon At :

arrest
When Jennie Randall herself was placed
on the stand by the defense, she stuck to
the story that Allen had given her the
money, fret handing it to her while they
were driving along tne road, on the "ay 10
Moundsville The bag WAS 100 heavy, aud
sbe handed il back, but he had given 1t to
her several times thereafter. % cross-ex-
animation the witIees hsd very haid
time of it. She fatty cOntradicted several
witnesses, and things were looking a little
as though some one bs d not stuck TO the
Truth. Just before time for CcnIt to sd-
iourn. while some Of the former testimony
was being looked over, on the stenogTa-
piers notes Randall left the room abrupt
