came into court, and, taking the stand.
testified that he had received information,
which was furnished by him to Major

The evidence given by this gentleman
was to the effect that his Information
had been received through Mr.. John Adj
Olson. The latter being sworn. stated
that he knew very little In regard to the
matter. His suspicious. however, had
been aroused by the actions Of Mr..
Daniel on Saturday. Mr. Daniel, he
stated, left the Office several times that
day, and throughout the day was I'm a
state Of excitement, which was rather
unusual for him. The witness had seen
the correspondence between Messrs.

Cabells letter. The entire correspond
ence, embracing three letters from Mr..
Cabell and two from Mr.. Daniel, was

this interview, and asked II it was based
on any conversation Mr.. Daniel had had
with him before or after the election. To
this Mr.. Daniel replied that as the inter-
view alluded TO did not contain Mr..
Cabelrs name, nor refer in any manner
to him, he declined to answer his ques-
ton. Mr.. Cabell then addressed another
letter TO Mr.. Daniel. in which he asked
him to furnish him (CabelD with the
source from which he derived his we'll
founded impression. Mr.. Daniel replied
to this in brief form, denying Mr.. CabelFs
right to call on him for any information
in regard to the interview referred to In
the Dispatch, and declining to have any
further correspondence with him on the
subject. Mr.. Cabell then addressed his
final letter TO Mr. Daniel. which gave
rise to the supposltion that trouble was
likely TO ensue between the two gentle
men.

grounds for the belief that trouble might
ensue. and required security of each In
the sum of 81, 900 for twelve months

slider. This he declined to do, and Mr..

his bondsman. Mr.. Cabell did not care
TO be obligated by n bond, and gave no.
