he had a key to getsout. On. the coca

chase of the truck occurred in
1851. lie told OF the truck in
cident. and said tho "boss"n Mr.. Reilly
had told him when the truck camo
over that he had not boughtit. HeSde-
scribed his duties in charge of the
LIQUOR room. Regarding the wine Incl

get good with age-it got sour. Before
he left the store they solution in job

Thomas death. When the wine came.

That was why ho knew AR. Reilly
boughtit. Witness recalled the raise
in wages incident, and said he had to
coax him to raise me-" The next time

'sthero was an increase in my family
At July, 1891, the wages were $50. and
then when he had asked the wages were
notincreased, until he tackled him
again, and then he:said, Ego in the Office
or I will forget all about it,
MR.. HOBBS TEsTIFIEs.
Mr.. J.:H. Hobbs was the next Wit
ness, and had business relations with
Mr.. Reilly which in later years were
not pleasant. His mind in later years
gave way, and he was Irritating and
insulting, and finally he forced him to
sell in 1890. For two years before 1890
he had been u~nbearable. Mr.. Carney
had been en- ploycd in 1888, and the
hotel was to be opened before thefair
,,noi- UHb;,oo rn,JtAoll &riVht until tho
bills came in when he became very in
sulting, and became soured and made
ridiculous charges. He was angry be-

purchases from the Reilly store. His
mind all the time grew worse, and grew
SO bad, that witness told him he would
do nothing with him in person. He
then wrote letters; then these ceased
and Thomas wrote him. lie would go
to tho hotel and would not know what.

mouth. He showed no com prehension

utterly incompctent for seVeral-months
before lie closed business connections
with him.
On cross-examination witness said

and he paid Mr.. Reilly a little over
500 900. The change in ownership took
place through an auction sale, n it
was done out OF court to save expense.
The deal was completed almost entirely
through Thomas; tho old gentleman
was not in condition to do business
alone. There had been trouble when
the furniture was bought in 1888, and
he seemed to have no idea OF what was
necessary in QUILTING a hotel. He
never paid much attention to his
plants. Most OF the trouble occurred
several months before he purchased the
Reilly interest in 1890. Tho trouble
was Of the character OF fautt-tinding,
