Jos. MARsDEN was called.
Mr.. Creighton objected to the
witness being sworn.
Mr.. Davidson explained that when
he said early in the trial that he did
not expect to call Mr.. Marsden, and
on the strength Of that statement
the witness was permitted to remain
in The room, he really did moi intend
TO call him. The point he wished
to examine him on did not relate TO
any evidence thus far produced.

| tried several times and from diff
fercnt positions but could not throw
the rope over, must have tried iif-
teen times. Q. Gould you throw
the frayed end Of that rope over the
arm OF the pole!
Mr.. Neumaun objects.
Mr.. Creighton claims that witness
should make it known whether he is
all expert at throwing rope.

throwing and lasSoes horses for
pleasure, and is allowed TO answer
Il think it would be very difficult
to throw this ropes end over; this
rope would he harder to throw over
than smaller one because IL will
not coil so readily; do not think au-
other man could do it, it would not
be impossible know that Mr.. de la
