cause I had thought of this thing in
every possible way, and concluded !,
would be best not to incense MIN;
knew he had set out to cause my de
struction, and that anything like thai
would only hasten the catastrophe.
Q.-Where did you get that pistoli
Al bought it from VIM. Muegge, IL
1884 or 1885, before | was married.
Odd Clark Hanes say DR.. Baird
had threatened to take your life? A
Clark Hanes came along and said some
thing like this: Baird says this thing
isn't over yet;" he went on and said
seen DR.. Baird: thought 1t would COO
down, and said there was no danger
and he said he knew him better than
did. and he wouldn't let it drop; think
it was in the summer of 1890; whatever
it was he said, / understood he was
warning me to keep out of the way
to look out for him.
O.-Do | understand you to say Mr..
Alex. Frew ever said DR.. Baird would
take YOUR life? Ayes; Mr.. Travis
had warned me; he walked up street
with me. ard talked with me very earn
estly. and | understood him to mean DR..
Baird would kill me-would offer me
personal violence; don't know that ne
used the word, or that he said he had
had conversation with DR.. Baird; he
told me in such way that it would have
been an idle question for me.
Odd you ask him if he had con-
versation with DR.. Baird? Al did
not: he told me in such way it would
not have been necessary for me to have
asked him how he got his information.
At this point a number of witnesses
from Marshall county were sworn and
excused until this morning, and then
the proceedings were interrupted to put
J. A. METCALF
on the stand. He was examined by
Col. Arnett, and said he had known the
defendant since 1878; he had known the
deceased all his life. Witness remem-
bered an occasion when DR.. Baird and
DR.. Garrison were at the postoflice, but
the State here objected to anything said
by either man when the other was not
present, and there was a discussion
over this disputed legal proposition.
The question was modified, on the OBJ
lection being sustained, and then the
witness said he had known a time
when the two Doctors were in
the corridor together; DR.. Baird first
drove up to the pavement was look
ing out of the window-and came in,
and DR.. Garrison came down the pave
ment, and raised up and omotioned to
him to come in, and in an instant |
realized that Dr. Baird's buggy was out
side, and l opened the door, and DR..
Baird was standing in the corridor and
DR.. Garrison was coming toward my
door.
Odd you hear what was said? A..
Yes. OBJECTION by the State, and
wrangle.
Odd you hear DIR. Baird making
any remark to DR.. Garrison? Ayes;
but l wouldn't like to be qualified as TO
what the exact words were.
Odd DIR. Garrison, while DR. Baird
was still there, make any response to it?
A.-No, sir; he made a remark after
DR.. Baird had gone.
There was no cross-eXaminatlon.
MISS Lulu FOX.
| live or Eleventh street; / knew DR..
Baird: | had known him as long as |
knew anything: have heard him talk
about his blackened eye.
Q.-What did he say? Objection;
allowed When was it? Al couldn't
tell you.
Q.-What did he say? Ale was
attending patient, and mamma called
to him to pay bill, and said: "Why,
Doctor, can't you ride through the
streets without getting your eyes
blacked?" and he said he got them I'M
expectedly and it would be his turn
next; it was several weeks after he got
them.
To Dovener-His eyes were still black.
DIR. GARRISON AGAIN.

parties in Council, and he belonged to the
other party.

party? Ayes, but there are cliqueS
and rings in parties.
Q.-Was he in a clique? Ale was
regarded as belonging to ring and
clique which had opposed me in GER
tain sanitary measures.

of some of those who opposed me.
Q.-When he swore on that stand
that you said che will call me that once
too often" or the old fool will call me
that once too often, or the d-n old
fool, did he swear to the truth? A

that you would FIX" DR.. Baird, or

Al don't know what MIR. Beans in
ference was from what said
Q.-Im not asking for an inference.
Aft you would not interrupt rae, and
would let me go on, we would get
