deposit them in the. bank.
On the evening Of the same day witness
met Ward on the Avenue and asked him
IL he had deposited the money. Ward,

knew that Ward started to build place
at Third street and Indiana avenue, but

look ut the Grant relies Mr.. Nlades re-
fused, and, after u great deal of trouble,
persuaded Ward to get into his buggy and

quainted with Wards Third street trouble
in general way and was also familiar
with his embarrassment regarding the ID
street place.

ness had met Ward from three to four
times day. Witness was counsel for the
holders of the note secured on the D-strect
building, and il was on this account that
Ward visited him in order to get thc prop
erty back again after the sale. Ward
thought that the note holders would give
him an opportunity to buy back the place,
but witness informed him that such was
not the case. On the last occasion that he
visited witness he was very excited,
gritted his teeth, rchearsed his troubles
and acted like a crazy man.
When he left witness Office he APP
peared to be irresponsible and unable to
control himself.

he was informed that he would not be

time considered Ward man Of unbal-
anced mind. lie would not have been
surprised IL at that time Ward had killed

not believe that Ward could have been
said to know right from wrong.
