emerge from Bush's house without the
guns. While he and another officer were
about TO enter the house TO make the
raid he saw Nawahi behind him. The
witness and five other officers made the
search; thew found Crick sitting outside
OF Bush's office; Bush was in room on
the right hand side going in; the room
was used as a printing office; they found
seven guns and a belt of cartridges We
called Bush to come out; he did so,
when the witness informed him that he
had a warrant for his arrest and search
warrant; Bush looked at the warrants,
and said that everything was all right;
then the search commenced. The wit

was answered by Bush voluntarily guild
ing him about the house; finally, belt
of cartridges was found. The witness
discovered a new board near the tele-
phone, which was removed and seven
guns were found concealed; Bush nor
Crick did not give any hint that there
were guns on the premises; Nawahl was
outside when the arms were found;

formed him that warrant for him was
at the Station House; Bush was arrested
on a warrant. When the guns were
brought down town they were delivered
to the Marshal.

that Crick was the man who was to pur-
chase the guns, so the warrant was made
out for Richard Roe; Crick was arrested
on this warrant; he made the return on
the warrant of his own accord; the rea-
son that he arrested Crick was because
Osmer told him that he had taken the
guns.
Annie Osmer stated that she was the
wife of J.. l.. Osmer A paper was handed
her to identity, which she did. 1t was
written by Crick in her house. After
writing it, he told her to give it to her
husband; she did so when he came home.

house, and each time her husband was
away. The note referred to read as fol-
lows: &" If all right, come to entrance of
Bush's place, Printers lane. / will meet
you at 80" 1t was not signed.
