The bank is l5 or 20 feet high and very steep, the lower part almost perpendicular. There are no large rocks but plenty of small stones. From the foot of the bank to the edge of the water IS about rod. The clover on this field was of rank growth and had been trod- den down. It was moved. Monday and the field ploWed for tobacco.

Leaven- worth and Manville had been out in the field several times during the afternoon,
 but had not been wrestling, so far as he knew. He had no assistant at the bar that afternoon. When he next saw LeayenWorth, he was lying under the bank, between and s o'clock, Manville with him. After light had been pro cured, Frank Castle slid down the bank, Daily refusing to go because he thought both men were dead. Frank shook Man vile and said, ssHe's not dead'' After placing him in sitting position, he shook Leavenworth, but found him dead. | Austin Castle, brother of Frank, who was on the road with load of clans, soon joined Daly and the Castles separated to call Dr Williams and alarm the neigh bors. Daily remained on the bank with the light. George Gilbert also went down to examine the body, which, strap ped on ladder, was afterward carried to the saloon. Cross examination was deferred and Peter s. Hall called. Much of his testimony simply repeated that given by Dr Williams and Daly. He and ManyiiIe were coming from Daly's house to the saloon, Bristol was leading
 Manville by the arm. When Hall saw
 Leavenworth, he was lying on his back,
 his hands by his side, his eyes staring and his face covered with blood. Bristol and Hall climbed the bank and found d
 well defined path, some IS to 20 inches wide, through the clover, which was crushed down, as if d heavy body had l been drawn to the river.

 what was done later. On the cross ex- animation, Hall said that his first intima- tion of the death of Leavenworth was
 when he met Frank Castle on the way to call Dr Williams, shortly after 9. He is not on very good terms with Manville. I Hall told Dr Williams that the path in
 the clover looked as if a body, perhaps a
 man, was drawn through it. After a
 short recess, Henry N. Camp was called | and spoke of the trampled clover, saying
 that it had evidently been recently done. I Something was said at the time about a I path having been there before, but Mir I Daly's son said that he had never known
 of it. $. F. Clark, Southville's store keeper, said that he was aroused about
 II o'clock, Saturday night and told of
 the fatality at Daly's. He also noticed the path through the clover and said
 that the bent grass all leaned toward the
 river. With this, the prosecution rested.
