the proceedings of the great McDougald-

The testimony Of Edgar Gillespie, who

tween daybreak and sunrise. has been weak
ened possibly by the reputation of bad char
acter, and the evidence of John Williams.

house with Gillespie at that time. and that
neither Gillespie nor his wife were at home
while stephen Mclean testified that
Gillespie told him It was McDougsld.

train on the Cape Fear and adkin Valley
railroad near Wakulla and rode about three
or four miles to Red Springs April 2lst,
and noticed only one passenger on board.

growth Of Red Springs and how long
the train would stay there. but couldn't
say whether prisoner at the bar was
the man. that the man he saw was
taller and had no duster. but might have had
Valise. and he never saw an extra freight
on that day. BY other witnesses the prisoner
