ing poisoned Mrs Barnaby, was on the
stand during the day.
why did you allow the package ad-
dressed to Mrs. Barnaby to remain n the
postofiice from March 81 10 April / n asked
Judge Macon, in beginning the cross-exani-
nation Of the witness.
because did not know her definite ad-
dress"
The witness continued that he thought
Mrs Barnaby was to remain two or three
weeks, and he left the package at the post
Office because he thought Mrs Barnahy was
going TO leave the California hotel and 20 70
boarding house, and because his mother
thought he ught not to forward IL until he
heard from Irs. Barnaby But they did not
hear from D s Barnaby until she arrived
IN the city. hey were very much surprised
when she appeared at the Worrell house
This statement was not pleasant to the de-
fense, as they had tried to make it appear
that the Worrells knew all along just when
the deceased would arrive, and upon this
fact hinged largely their doctrine Of the
guilt Of the Worrells. Judge Macon for the
defense, startled the courtroom bv asking
this question, Mr. Worrel, 40 you know
that large majority Of the citizens Of this
city now believe that you are guilty Of hay
ing poisoned Mrs. BarnabyF
Mr. Worrell replied in a firm tone, II do
not know itn
Daniel Smith, who cleans Mr. Worrell's
buggy, was called and said the box with the
bottle Of poison had been left ia the buggy
over night and that it was locked up and
not opened, but returned to Mr.. Worrer
next day, after which it was delivered 10
