during the last three months he had been
acting in the capacity OF detective for
the Provisional Government. The
conversations with Walker were chiefly
on topics connected with the Pro-
visional Government. He stated to
me on several occasions that he had a
certain number of men, no particular
number, to overthrow the Govern

about it.
The rest of the witness testimony
was unimportant, and nothing new was
developed by the cross examination.
E. A. StruOt, the next witness, testi-
fed that he was sergeant of Company
f, was acquainted with Walker, and had
had one conversation with him about
overthrowlng the Government. Walker
asked him if he was in for money, and
he SAID yes.
Michael O'Kennedy was the next
witness, but his testimony was only to
the effect that he had known Crck
while living at the Central House.
George Markham testified that he had
had two conversations with Walker at
different times in the Merchants En-

society for the purpose of restoring the
Queen. They had already a member
ship Of 6S. After having few drinks
he told Walker he was an annexationist
and that ended the matter.
At the afternoon session the defense
announced that they would not intro
duce any testimony.
Attorney Peterson moved the Court
that the charge against the three de.
PENDANTS be dismissed, the evidence in
his opinion showing that the defendants
were guiltless of any crime, and follow
ed it up with long argument in sup
port of the motion.
General Hartwell answered with an
exhaustive argument on the side of the
government, to which Attorney Magoon
is speaking as we go to press. He will
be followed by Attorney General Smith,
who has the closing, and this now
celebrated case will then rest upon
Judge C4rter's decision.
