+. w. YATES, called for the de-
Tense and sworn--I live at Ilonokaa,
am q book-keeper there; remember
the murder Of Goto, he was found
hanging from telephone pole; saw
the body lying on the grass, think
between the hours of 9 and 10; be-
leve l saw Judge Thomas, think
one or two of the police, do not
think saw any of the Deputy She
riffs at that time; | examined the
pole carefully, saw marks on it as
of the boots of person sliding
down; marks were dark, might be
called black; the pole was of rough
Nor west wood; noticed iiaments
of cloth sticking to the pole, like
iibres from gray shirt; they were
at one corner, ceased three feet from
cross bar, as near as / can recollect
was curious and got ladder to
inspect the pole; think Mr.. Lyman,
Judge Thomas, Mr.. Broderick, and
think one or two others were pre-
sent; | handed the fragments round
to different persons, think some to
Mr.. Lyman and some TO Mr.. Bro
derrick; it appeared TO me that
somebody had been sliding down the
pole, and the rough edges tore the
iilaments off the marks were more
like backing than mud from per-
sons boots; there was 4 horse
hitched near the Lyceum, was told
it was Goto's, but do not know; it
was mtched with two or three half
bitches, was tied with a rope to
post don't know Of any other hitch
ing post at the other corner of the
lot; there are two posts with rail
on top, but no pins for hitching.
TO juror Sherman--I saw two
marks made across the cross bar,
such as would be made by Il new
rope with heavy weight to it, two
sears at opposite edges of the bar.
