HE TELLS THE STORY OVER AGAIN.

WOulu nave UGH lhduC' rs IL was,
there was long wait after the opening
formalitieS had been gone through with,
and it was half-past nine when the
Court finally got the attorneys up 10 the
scratch, and Col. Arnett said he wanted
to beg the pardon of the Court and
counsel for the supplementary Ian
guage he had used the evening before.
He begged pardon; he said he had simply
intended to deny the statement, with
ont being insulting to anyone. Capt.
Dovener said it was all right, and the
matter gave placeto
DIR. Il. w. HAZLETT,
called at that time by the defense to
oblige the witness. Witness had lived
in Wheeling thirty years or little
longer. He knew DR.. Garrison; had
known him seven or eight years. The
witness thought DR.. Garrison's reputa-
ton was good.
To Dovener-I have heard Of his hav-
ing trouble with other physicians
ouarrels or contentious.
The State here recalled
j. f. BAKER
out of his order, at his request, as he
wanted to go to his work.
To Dovener-Col. Arnett came to me
short time before Court convened
| don't recollect the evening; he asked
me to tell him about the matter.
Odd he tell you he had been out to
Cameron to hunt up evidence To lmpeach
you? Ale did not; he told me he
had been out to Cameron that day-to
see me-some one had told him what L
had seen;I told him what l had seen,
and he told me he wanted me as wit
ness for the defense: | told him |
didn't want TO come; know DR.. Reager,
of Littleton; don't remember seeing
him on the train on March 9TH: never
spoke to him in my life except once,
in Cameron, when | was before the
Board of PenSon Examiners; l did not
tell him 1 did not see it; l
know Samuel PARROT: l don't
recollect being at his house on Sunday
morning, March Sth; he keeps hotel
the Parrott House; didn't say there 81
was there and saw it ALL" | didn't say
Il saw DR.. Baird drive up in his buggy"
didn't use any language TO that effect;
| didn't say saw him get out and take
off his gloves and tie his horse; | didn't
say anything of the sort; didn't say II
expect Garrison has got Dovener as an
attorney" | didn't tell there | expected
you would be the attorney, "becauSe
while was going to the boarding house
| saw Dovener going to the JAIL" Justice
Pipes didn't tell me that couldn't be,
because you were in Cameron up to nine
or ten o'clock the night before"
The defense objected to the last two
questions as having nothing to do with
the case and no connection with the
tragedy. This matter was argued for
some time, pro and con, for a solid half
hour, at the end of which the objection
TO the last question as to Doveners
whereabouts, was sustained, in the form
it was asked.
Q.-Do you know DR.. Davis? A
Yes l can't tell you his first name.
Q.-Was you in his store on Sunday,
March sth? Al don't think was.
O.-Do You know Mr.. Kincaid? A
Yes: might have been in there when
DR.. Davis and Mr.. Kincad were there:
he is generally open on Sunday morn
ing?
O.-Didnt you come in and the mat
ter was spoken of, and you said you had
seen the shooting, on the way to your
boarding house? A.-NO; not in those
words.
Q.-What did you say? Al said |
saw the shooting; I did not say saw
DR.. Garrison about thirty or forty feet
from DR.. Baird, with revolver in his
hand; l said | saw him shoot at DR..
Baird-not that saw him shoot him;
didn't say he made no resistance, but
that DIR. Baird put his hand up on his
hip: he did not ask me if he moved after
the first shot, and he said he
supposed the first shot paralyzed
him: | did talk to Davis,
either in the store, or outside;
have talked with DR.. Davis since the
trial began-we talked about it once or
twice, but not since the trial opened; |
did not say to him did not know what
the defense had summoned me for, be-
cause all my testimony would be against
the defendant; my statements TO DR..
Davis and all other parties was just
this: That | was coming down Eleventh
street and saw DIR. Baird, and that l
wanted to speak to him because | had
got prescription from him, and | got
. banana peel on my foot, and scraped
it off, and when l looked up saw DR..
GarriSon-I didn't know him then
and he said, Take that back"
and DR.. Baird said he wouldn't,
and DR.. Garrison shot twice in
quick SUGGESTIONS; l never told
any living man different from that;
l did not tell DR.. Davis L came down
Eleventh street and met DR.. Garrison,
and he said to DR.. Baird, take that
back" and DR.. Baird said, Il won't
take it back, you niggerfed -; l
know Lindsay Booker; l may have
talked TO him; did not tell Booker, or
in his presence, that l saw DR.. Baird
driving along Eleventh street, nor that
seeing Or. Baird driving along Eleventh
street l wanted another prescription,
and when he got up to me
