There were more protests that the lettar
should be produced. to which Mr.. Wilson
said. For the comfort Of yourself e.d
your attorneys vii. say the manuscript

There were more arguments from Messrs.
Butterworth and Shelby against the right
OF Judge Wilson TO catechise the witness
regarding the substance of letter not in
evidence, TO which Mr.. Wilson replied
that since the defendant had denied ever
writing to Miss Pollard ne had q right TO
test his memory on that point. II will
say frankly ne have not the manuscript
here, and do not mind telling the cour,
on what evidence we base the question. {"
Nov Brother Wilson 10 getting into an
argument, ss he always does" said Mr..
Butterworth.
"well. if you object. will drop it," said
Mr.. Wilson.

II can only say that IL you bring the

did any work for me. Several women or
females have done my typewri;ing in
Warrington City, but do not RENE mber
this particular one"
Il will ask you whether You did not
