Worden put them back there"
Where did he take them from P?
81 don't know. l simply saw them in

ness.

took you into the back part of the stable
and asked you about your trip"
"Yes. sir. did say So"

The witness stated that Worden had
asked him when he went to Knox to get
the bill paid to get him Bother buggy and
take the things out of the wagon. Mr..
Wilson, when told, said he would not give
Worden another buggy for $1,000. Later
on when the boy was talking 10 the group
the shed. This was point General Hart
would rather not have brought out. The
story of Worden asking for a second buggy
was new evidence to the prosecution, but
Hart pressed the subject no further and
released the boy from his examination.
Sherburn stepped down with sigh of
relief and looked really happy when he
took his seat by Detective Hickey. For
the first time since the examination began
Hatch was identified as a member OF the
| Worden party. This was by Freight Con-
ductor F. w. Hill of Oakland, who was
called after Sherburn was dismissed. He
said he had gone over TO Washington

bose, which was on little spur behind
the oil house. The oil house, he said. was
about 100 yards away. The cabOose was
on a spur track about sixteen or eighteen
feet from the main track. There was an
engine attached to the abOose heading
| toward Sacramento. The engine was
dead. Teeple went through the caboose
and he sat down to read. The end doors
were opened and he heard Teeple tell
boy to get off the engine and somebody
else tell him TO stay there. He opened the
side door and saw rig at the side of the
car with a man IN ii.
"Who was that man" asked Bruner.

witness, pointing to Melville Hatch, this
/ being the first direct testimony duplicating
