The Colonel was going on to elaborate
unon his views. when the State in chorus
flied an objection, and headed off the Col
onel and brought up Mr.. Sommeryllle win
a statement he said he thought he ought not
TO make. That was that the witness had a
very important engagement to take
him out of town on Monday, ana
they had called him out of his order
to oblige him, and now he would
be forced over to Monday, in spite OF what
they had done. To this the Court asserted
that he would decide the case for the pres
ent, but would give the defense until Mon
day to give the defense time TO look up
authorities: in the meantime he sustained
the objection; but to this the defense SAID
that would dono good, if, it being reversed
the witness named was out OF the State.
Capt Dovener-Now you've got INN IN
the State: keep him here.
Mr.. Howard-Time.
There was some more close fighting, and
then the defense said they would not dis
charge him. and Capt. Dovener went TO a
cross exa nination.

a big interest in this case! Al don I
know that / have.

Wingerter say what Mr.. Howard had said
in opening the case.
o. Did you hear him say Mr.
Howard said DR. Garrison had not passed
DR.. Baird. and did you say Howard
said a Cd d--n lie, and | know it,.
Al don't think | said it-not that way-I
had heard different and that was my
opinion; | might have said it was lie; we
were arguing in there; have no extensive
interest in it, except to see what is right; l
don't know that said the Prosecuting At
torney had said it was Cd d-nlie, and
he knew it when he said it, | don't know
those were the exact words. 1t might
have been something like that; I've be-
friended DR.. Garrison; | don't think |
have in this style and in this Manner
guess not.
To Arnett-I have no interest in it eX-
cept to do what is right; | said Mr. Kryter
heard the conversation, when Mr.. Arm
strong was within few feet.

ing than the crossing at Stole Il Bayha's

west edge of Market street.
