jal at Winnipeg Mr.. Hynes then asked the
witness:
"Do you see Frank Williams now in the court
room
Carlson's glance wandered toward where
Burke sat. The prisoner who had kept his
eyes cast down from the time Carlson had taken
the stand now raised his head and looked
squarcly at his accuser. Then came the next
words:
Point him out"
Carlson half rose from his chair, and, leaning
iOEN4fus pointed nls unEer at Burke duO Saie.
That IS ne, sitting there"
ITS agreed u Martin Burke was pointed

Burke never changed color under this identih-

window next the stairs and we got in.
The carpet was gone and they had poured
paint on the floor. II hadn't been brushed
except in certain places. There were
also bloody stains on the base boards.
There was a big blood stain near the north
side and one in the middle Of the floor.
The rocking chairs arm was on, and the fur

have been made by a man walking in his
stocking feet He saw q man proving around
the cottage one night after May A. He said he
came from Williams. The witness could not
describe him very well because II was quite
dark when he met him.
"Was the man you saw coming out OF the cot

The sick prisoner slowly turned his head on
his pillow till he faced the witness fully. The
two men looked at one another for moment
and then Carlson shook his head slowly and
said: No, that is not the man
The State did not push the Identification Of
the man seen by Carlson. but authenticated ru-

and the man are one.
Mr.. Hvnes questioned Mr Carlson as to his
/ observations on the night OF the murder, but
with little result. Carlson said he went 10 bed
that night about 7.5O.
Mr.. FORESTS cross-eXamination was well
calculated - confuse the witness who might be
trying 10 give conned or made up testimony.
Questions which invited direct answers were
craftily put. but in no cGse did Carlson trip.

visit a. tho cottage on April % he
had not seen the trunk; but the al
