suggestion being in the way of sarcasm
and having reference to former dis

The defense then said they were try
ing to show that Mr.. Armstrong went
to Mr.. Kryter, and he there got his in
formation about the shooting; they
thonpbt that was material. The Court

son had told you? Ayes.

turned around and walked | saw the
doctor coming, and l thought I'd wait
till he'd come out; / didn't go up
Eleventh street because l had no one
at nv stall; / walked right
ont in the street and saw
the Doctor coming; Cooks stand is right
at the corner, and | could look up; l
went out to ask DR.. Garrison about 1t
it would save me trip up; didn't see
the pistol in his hand until he came up
to me, and after l had asked the ques-
ton and he had told me | looked down
and saw pistol; | didn't hello to him,
because | could walk out to him;
could stand at Cooks stall and see up
the street-up the pavement: his stall
was right at the corner; while l was
talking to Cook was right at the edge
OF Eleventh street; / could see the
crowd beginning to gather; the Doctor
was the only one / saw coming away
the others were running up; | didn't
think of calling to the Doctor to come

in buggy and he invited me in to take
ride: he said he had something to tell
me and didn't have time to stop; he said
he was going out TO see his smallpox
patient, and | said / wouldn't go; Dr.
Baird drove past and said, ''you black
-" DR.. Garrison asked me if | had
heard it; and he dropped the lines and
put his hand in his overcoat pocket; he
said, "ain't that too bad;" l believe it
was shortly before the election of the
city officers: it was just about the north
end of the postoffice, in the street.
To Dovener-Dr. Garrison dropped
the lines and put his hand in his over
coat pocket; yes sir; did not put my
hand on his arm; took my hand out of
his arm and put it on the buggy.

that buggy? A.-Well, | knew there
had been trouble, and / didn't know
what might be the result; he did it

thing at all did he? objection; sus-
tanned.

cept what you have described? A
