Jason G. Stamp, who took the steno-
graphic notes at the coroner's in quest,
said hehad made three longhand copies.
He had found that there had been IN
omission in one Of the copies, which he
corrected. Col Arnett said he would
offer in evidence tho copy OF tho notes.
On cross-examination tho witness
said he made the copy Col. Arnett had
offered, from transcript Of his notes,
and not from the notes themselves. He
had been doing shorthand work since
1887, in W. PiiHubbard's Office. Capt,
Dovener attempted to provo that Mr..
Stamp had made mistakes in taking
down in shorthand the remarks Of the
witnesses at the inquest, and Mr.. Stamp
admitted his humanity and consequent
liability to. err. The evidence taken at
the inquest, that Colonel Arnett offered,
was the evidence OF Leonard Cock.

Alexander Frew said he had advised
DR.. Garrison about Dr.. Baird's violence,
and that ,ho would better be OH his
guard against it. While his tongue was
more active, still he might, being pas
sionate, assault him at some time. Ie

ened DR.. Garrison,s life, and he warned
DR.. Garrison after the fight in the city
building.
On cross-examination Mr.. Frcw said
his warning was made. not because Of
the threats made at the time OF the
fight, but of threats he had understood
DR.. Baird had since made. He under
stood Mr.. A. ]. Sweeney to say that at
one time DIR. Garrison had gone into a
house trying to get ont OF DR.. Baird's
way. In the conversation witness had
with DR.. Garrison, the latter complain
cd OF the insults and said DR.. Baird had
threatened to shoot thin.
When DIR. Garrison was recalled he
was questioned about the conversation
with Alex Frew and why he thought
DR.. Baird intended to kill him. The
witness said the doctor had threatened
him in the city building, and others
had warned him that DR.. Baird might
kill him. He could not recall. the
names OF any persons who had warned
him.

which W. Fee related. He said
there was only one conversation he
had with Mr.. Fee in which DR.. Baird's
name was mentioned. The witness

Mr. Fee; also the one that Edmund L.
Booking told about. In regard to what
Mr.. Beans had testified to, tho witness
said he had not intended 10 convey any
such impression rs Mr.. Beans formed
from his actions. He was excited,
however, at tho time, and walked up
and down'his Office, and he did not
know what impression Mr.. Beans had
received.

the defendant about tho last meeting
with DR.. Baird. He told about seeing
