The examination of Mir. Reavis was concluded about 11:3O srs.eiduy n.orn- ing, and Father Stockman wcs called to 1 the stand by the government. The l father testified that he wss in charge of | the parish of San Bernardino and had been for many years.
 He was asked to examine two books 1 defendants exhibits), and be stated that | they were records of the births and deaths kept at that parish. He was next 6 ked to examine the en- | tries therein, which purport to record | the birth of one of the Perslts children | and the death of another. He testified as an expert that they were diff rent | from the other pages in the book; that they were in a different hand hap6writ- ing, although en attempt had been ID ade to initiate, and that they were | without doubt forged. He further stated that Father O'Reilly had had | charge of these records st times. MrS Reavis was given leave to cross~ | examine this witness later. | MOST INTERESTING TESTIMONY. | Father O'Rellly was then called to the stand. His testimony, although very short, as expected proved to be the most | iu teresting of any yet offered mostly on account of the coolpess displayed by | the father under the fearful and iosult- | ing cross-exemination indulged in by MT. Reavis; and, as might have been ex- pec.ed, the further Mir. Reavis extend l ed the examination the worse be made 1t for himself, for, at first, the father contented himself with stating that he "believed" MT. Reavis was the gentle man to whom he had loaned these very | church records, in 1892, but. upon being pressed with sarcastic end vehement | questions, he asserted positively that | Mir. Reavis was the man that called and | to whom be gave the books, and he backed it up with sufficient statements as to leave DO doubt of it's truth. | The fathers statement in substance was that in 1892, MT. Reavis and Mexican called at the parish and asked for the
 | RECORDS OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS. | He gave them the books. Having ol ly been in the west a short time, 'and be- ing unacquainted with it's wicked ness." be allowed the books to be taken away | and they were kept over two weeks. ! Among the many sharp answers given l by the witness, was one as to how he l remembered the name "Reavis," so we'll. | He said it was because it sounded to | him just Ike Reeves" and that "Ree- yes" was Irish, and yet hs thought it strange that an lrisbmen should marry | Mexican, and wondered within him. self wby it was, if it wts for economy's sake, or what; but, upon inquiry of Rea- ] vis himself, the witness learned that 1t | "Reavis" not Reeves"
 Mir. Reavis then tried to make some
 thing out of the interview which witness acknowledged he had with Special
 Agent l.. A. Hughes, in April last, but
 absolutely failed. as iJ appeared that the father and Mir. Hughes merely talk
 ed the facts over, which are given
 above.
 MR. TIPTON TEsTIFIEs.
 MT. Will NJ. Tipton was then called as
 expert witness for the government, and
 he is probably the most important the
 government has, as by Mir. Tipton it is
 expected to prove, with the use of the
 dispositions taken in the various count
 ries, the spurious character of the Rea-
 wis documents from top to bottom, and judging by the way he started in yes terday afternoon just before adjourn ment there is DO room to doubt that Le
 is equal to the occasion, and that his eY- plantations of the mass of documentary y
 evidence and innumerable photogrf phs , introduced will render the same more
 than ever interesting and make their |. relations to each other better under
