"How long did you live at his houses"
"Seven months"
"Why did you leave?"
II got tired with him.
"You have feeling against him now?"
aNo.n
"How long since?":
"Ten months ago."n
"Then why didn't you go to his house,"
Because he sent me lawyers letter
forbidding me to trespass onshis grounds.
The cross qestioning then took turn
as to why the witness had not testified
before the coroner's inquest as to
Prawda's remark: atom, if I am
arrested don't swear on me.n
. at was because | did not want to
swear against him.
but you are willing to now?"
"Yes.
You have some feeling against him
now?n
aJust slight"
. Recurring to the other statement as to
Prawda's remark that if he could find
the man who did the shooting. be
would mark him, witness said that he
had not told of this either to the coroner s
not want to testify against Prawda.
Witness said that on the evening OF
the tragedy he left his house to go to
Parsons's store about ten or twenty-five
minutes past seven O'Clock. 1t was not
as late as eight o'clock. His time was
local time, faster than standard. The
distance to Parsons's store was about
half mile. Witness said he lived on
Pleasant street.
Some amusement was created when
Mr.. Chase, having asked the witness to
describe Pleasant street so the jury could
understand where it WAS, the witness re-
piled that it ran from the pump to
Mitchell's.
1t was about two miles from witness s
house to PIawda's.
Witness was at Parsons's store half
OF three-quatter of an hour that night.
Messrs. Cleaves, Parsons and Grant were
in the store.
On redirect examination the witness
said that at the coroner s inquest and be-
fore the grand jury he had answered
only such questions as County Attor-
ney True had asked.
Here the court adjourned until ten
o'clock this forenoon.
Mrs. Prawda
was pitiable spectacle during yester-
days proceedings, especially during
those portions Of her sisters and

mothers wounds and death. Her eyes
rolled uneasily about and her hands
were frequently clasped convulsively. AT
one time during the afternoon she broke
down completely and wept. She will
probablyssbe put onto the stand by the
defense as she stands stoutly by her
husband Last evening, as the court
adjourned, she managed to be on the
stairway as the officer led Prawda down,
and the two talked rapidly in German
until Prawda was hurried from the COR
ridor to the carriage, which was to take
him to the Jail.

the Prawda house.
Mr. True still continued the direction
of the government case, while Mr.. Chase
was chief in the defence's examination.
At the beginning of the poceedings DR..

a moment to explain that a piece of the
