AT two o'clock Capt. Dovener resumed
the cross-eXaminatod of Mr.. Tolbert,
the first question being whether Mr..
Newton McConn had not come down
Market street, on the day he had the
talk with Evans, and that McConn had
met the witness coming up. The wit
ness did not remember, except that he
was coming down Market street, and he
thought he went out Eleventh street.
He did not know what he went after.
Didn't Mr.. Robinson meet you at
Hoge's store. opposite Eleventh street,
and ask you to take note to his wife,
saving he had been caught on the jury?
A.-That's the way the conversation
came up.
Q.-And you told him one of his neigh
bors, Mr.. Oldham, was dead? Al
told so many that l don't remember.
Q.-And didn't he say some new sum-
mons had been sent out, and you might
be caught? Al believe he said some
thing about me, now come to think.
Q-And didn't you say you couldn't
get off, because you hadn't formed an
opinion? Al don't remember.
Q.-And didn't he say: sit occurred
somewhere about here, didn't it?" and
didn't he point up and say it was up by
the paper store. Al think not.
Odd you tell Lester Bates about
this? A.-Not that know OF; | won
be positive unless it was last Friday; he
lives about mile from me.
Q.-TBy Arnett Who was it that
was dead. A.-James Oldham.
Q.-What did Mr.. Robinson say, II
anything, about being on the jury; why
did he ask you to take note? Ale
didn't know whether or rot they would
permit him to go home that day.
Q--What, if anything, did Robinson
say about getting off the jury? Ale
told me he wanted to get off the jury
for that evening, to attend to some bust
neSs-not TO get off the jury altogether.
Q.-Have You any feeling against Mr..
Robinson? A-No, sir.
Q-Are your statements in your af1i.
davits true? Al claim they are true.
There were no names mentioned In our
talk. He said, pointing to Prayer
store: There's where he shot him: the
- ought to be hung.
To Dovener-I think | know DR.. Gar
rison; | have been in town three times
since May 5th: l was here one day dur

O.-TBy Dovener DO you remember

Q.-Do you know L. +. Tolbert? A.
Yes.
Q-Do you remember on May 5th

making affidavits against him? Al
think he made one, too
O.-Now, didn't you meet Mr.. Robin
son? Ayes.
O.-And didn't he say he was on the
iury because he hadn't formed an opin-
ion. and you had said you had an opin-
ion? A.-No; l can tell you how
came to remember about what Mr.. Rob-
inson said-he being sworn as juror,
I didn't see how he could say what he
did, and when l went home | told my
wife didn't see how the man could be
Juror, and when l met Mr.. Dice just
asked him if he could be juror, that
was all.
Capt. Governor then crosS-examined
the witness as to his statement that
Robinson stood with him on Market
street, and pointed down Market
street. and said that was where he came
from, and then up to Prayers, but the
witness maintained that his statement
was correct, and was not shaken.
Q.-Why didn't you tell him, "Why,
Robinson, you can't be a JUROR" A
didn't think it was my place, and when
| went to Dice, | just asked him.
Q.-And you are school trustee,
and had TO go To Dice? Al didn't
know.
Q.-You were pretty well posted on
these things? Al know what | have
been told.
Q.-And then, if you knew that a man
had expressed an opinion which would
disqualified him as juror, why did you
not tell him as neighbOr? Al didn't
know that it was my place, and then
believe he had been questioned then,
hadn't he?
Q.-Pm not giving you information.
Had he? Al believe he had.

since? Ayes.

generally.
Q.-Was any one there when this took
place? A.-Two men came up.
Q.-NYho were they? A.-Brice Sup
Ter and Mark McCausland came up.
Q.-And Newt. McConn was there?
Ayes, at one time, but don't know
if he was there at the conversation. He
came past, but / don't know that he
stopped.
Q.-Don't you know that he stopped
and heard every word of the converse
ton? A.-No, don't; he passed, and
might have stopped-people might have
stopped don't know.
Q-Will you tell this Court that Newt.
McConn and Brice Supler were both
there, and that the words c" or
changing" were all used? Ayes,
they were used
Q-Do you tell this Court that that
took place, and Mr.. Robinson pointed
about and Brice Supler stood by and
could not hear it? Al can't say.
Q-Didn't you say in your deposition,
she pointed and said, there's where they
metz" In which direction did he point?
A.-Down Market street, toward the
river.
Q.-That would be across Market
street? Al mean the line would
eventually reach the river; he pointed
as though he meant the other side OF
the street.

II Is not often a young msn loses bis
girl while thAy are aboard a railway
train. An incident OF this kind really
occurred on sunday evening on Lan-
denberg branch train A young man ex-
eused himself to his lady friend and went
into the smoking ear TO talk with 3
{ friend. His lady did not understood the
situation and was under the impression
that the young man had got off the
train at BraadYwiue Springs instead of
going into the smoking ear Yet the
train did not even slaeken It's speed when
passing the latter place She accordingly
gou OF the train at the next station,
which was Falkland Here she told OF
her trouble, and the most un .ortuuai 9
part of the story WAS that she
had given her beau her poeketbook. This
lefs the impression with every one that
the fellow had jumped of the train a.
! Brandywine Springs and escaped through
the woods. Talk Of organizing posse
to capture the supposed thief was hur-
riedly passed from one to another until
the next train from Laneenberg caused
matters to cool down. The young man
missed his girl shortly after psssip g
Falkland and took the next rrain back
inqulring at each station for such person.
10 the meantime a ticket was given the
girl for Wilmi lgton. The cause Of all
the trouble was that the young lady mis-
understood the brakeman when be

safe to say that this young man will stay
