 Judge COwel warned Enright time and tune again to tell the truth or he would 2" fn' d. Attorney Terry told him those who assaulted i'm must have got his brains N well as hIs watch Judge Gowell thought the man was half drunk Finally Attorney Ferry said: Go sit down. we've got n"ugh of you Sergeant Dadds said he arrested the two from the description given by Enright Both admitted having been with him, but said that Enright got ugly and the two whipEel him
 Enright was recalled. but it was a hope less task. Attorney Terry became in censed and asked. (Which did you miss first, your hat or your watch?'' Enright hesitated about answering and the attor- ney said: "I don't think we can get any more out of you. Get out -"
 Judge Cowell said: II don't think you are telling all you know. think you have been fixed and are half drunk now If had the authority would send you to jail for six months. I wish they had hit you harder. whoever they were"
 Attorney Terry added: 'I wish they had stolen his head instead of his watch" He then nolled the cases.
