said if Burns had ssid anything he had
broken his OATH
WALTER J. YOUNG, REGISTRY CLERK,
Walter J. Young, registry clerk at the
post Office, identified the signatures,
Edward Clark and Joseph Clark, on
the registered letter registry, and the
receipt, as having been written by Joseph
Clark.
THE EXPERT RECALLED.
David NJ. Carvalho, the expert, was re-
called.
The defence objected. The objection
was overruled.
Mr.. CArvalho stated that he was posi-
tive that the names on the book and on
the receipt were written by the same
hand that wrote the two acknowledged
letters and the anonymous letters. Mr.
Biggs then offered them in evidence, the
leaf from the register being cut out for
the use Of the state.
JOSEPH KNOX AGAIN.
Joseph Knox, the one-armed watch
man of the "0ld' barn, again took the
stand. He testified that he had seen
Gibbons and Eugene Burns at the BARN.
he met them at the upper gate, next the
new Offices He saw them about seventy
yards down the yard It was about 4
o'clock, about June is, on Thursday. He
walked out into the road where they
were. Gibbons asked if he might
get drink l said yes He went Ia and
came out. Burns said II thought no
enc was allowed In there" He told him
that no objection was made to anyone
getting a drink. Then Burns went in
and got drink. After that they went
over towards 'SG ndhill" woods
UNDER CROSS EXAMINATION.
''It was broad daylight. The pump
was used by farm hands in the neighbor
hood.
HIS NAME WAS TIMOTHY F0UHEY.
A large man with more than enough
whskers for the wind TO blow through,
followed Mr.. Knox upon the stand.
Bigga-" What is your name9''
Timothy Touhey. I am foreman Of the
upper yards. have been there for about
six years
''Did you ever find matches on the
slide Of the door Of the press room Of the
upper yardsg Don't answer Until tell
you
Witness-"Yes found them"
1t was objected TO by the defence.
Biggs-'If your honors please, certain
evidence has been produced here to show
that there was conspiracy to burn this
old barn. In course of that testimony
certain reference was made by Joseph
Clark that warning had been given the
members of this company and the en-
ployes by letters and by matches Now,
then, that statement was made by the de-
fendant, Joseph Clark, in the course Of
testimony going to show, as he claimed
that he was one of the conspirators
Is not the fact of whether or
not matches were found in extremely
dangerous places on the premises--at
the very entrance of the press rooms,
where tons and tons of powder were
stored-to put it to this jury as going to
prove that these men had time aud time
again been warned by letters aud
matches"
Neutrality-suspicious. may have been
hundreds and hundreds of matches in
this press room. 1t is no evidence against
these defendants. They are indicted for
a conspiracy to burE the old barn.
There is no connection with II"
Hillss-sI don't know that there is
very much I can add to what has been
already said by me- This upper yard is
separate from he cd barn 1t cannot
affect the case except by the way Of
