Mr.. Pendergrig, witness in the Glea-
son will case, made some substantial
statements in his testimony before the

two could be together. Gleason, he says,
was prevented from visiting his alleged
enamorata by the ladys father, who,
having heard that Gleason was mar
Iied man, threatened to shoot him If he
persisted in his attentions to his daugh-
ter. Witness Pendergrig also testified
that Gleason had told him that he want
ed to quit his wife," Nellie Jones.
Mr. Pendergrig also testified that there
was an understanding between himself
and the latter that Gleason should dis
appear from Cincinnati and the latter
should give it out to his wife" Nellie
Jones' and the police that Gleason had
been drowned. The consideration of the
witness for interesting himself in the
affairs of Gleason, witness said, was the
promise that Gleason would procure a
situation as fireman for witness when he

drowned in the Licking river.
