The glasses were offered in evidence
by the State, and objected to be the de-
Tense, Col. Arnett saying he wanted to
suggest that according to his recollec-
ton the testimony about the Spectacles
was that Geo. Baird had said he thought
they were the Spectacles, and that they
had been given him by an officer. He
first mentioned Carney and then West,
and he had placed them in the cash
drawer.
Capt. Dovener said the Colonel's mem
DRY was at fault. Mr.. Baird had said
they were his fathers spectacles; that
he had found them In the cash drawer,
and for information he said he thought
they had been given to some Of the boys
by one OF the officers.
Objection overruled, and glasses
shown to and examined by jury. In
taking the glasses to the jury Capt.
Dovener said they would notice the left
eye was out. The defense objected and
the Court sustained it.
