TO the closet he pulled out the documen
and showed it to me telling me thai
Guzman had signed it. i saw 1t again
the fourth time, in February, 1895, or
Commercial street.
THE paper, when first saw 1t, was in
the same condition, with the piece torn
off the corner. somewhat cleaner, and
it didn't have the folds in it
"State If before he showed you the
document if you secured any paper"
inquired counsel.
Yes, sir. -e
"How did it compare with that on
| which the document is written?'
"I never could distinguish paper, but
| he told me it was the same"
This last answer was objected to and
ordered stricken out.
Were you ,Aon friendly or unfriend-
ly terms with Manuel at this timer
| Upon good terms"
up to what time did these friendly
relations continue?'
THEN THE JIG WAS UP.
Until told him, when he requested
as a favor that tell him if was against
him; that all was over, everything was
| discovered"
"But up to what timeo"
Until the middle of September of last
year"
| That closed direct examination. but
on the cross Attorney Swanwick wanted
to know the why and wherefore of ev-
erything. He had every chance to be
satisfied before he got through.
The witness stated, in response TO
counsePs interrogatories, that he had
got the sheets of paper from lady now
dead A daughter of hers actually gave
it to him when the daughter and he
were searching her effects, she having
been his sister. Manuel told him he
wanted some paper of 1871 or 1877. Ihe
witness didn't know what he wanted 1t
for. but he knew he had good chance
of getting it at Mrs. Escandon's. and
Manuel drove him there in his buggy,
what led to your employment by
Senator White?" queried counsel.
He wanted me to find out about some
things for him"
Did you go to him or did he come TO
you?"
I'VE met in the street and he asked
me to come to his office"
What did he employ you to do?'
He told me he wanted me to go to the
bottom of the matter. The document
was forgery and he wanted me to hunt
up witnesses that gneW anything dooul
the matter"
The general trend of counseTs ques-
tions might be interpreted as rejecting
upon the absolute integrity or witness
and when Mr. SwanWick proceeded 10
ask him regarding the written instruc-
tions which Manuel promised to give 10
him, the patience of Sanchez appat-
emily became exhausted inrus.lhS nis

a folded paper and said those were the
instructions he had referred TO-
The document was written in Spanish,
and as counsel did not exactly seem TO
know what kind of brand of dynamite
they had seized, they carefully removed
it to the jury room and asked an IN

ferred regarding it, Whether they were

"Pancho remained under the care ol

.Tbara We're controversies between
Manuel and Antonio, so that Antonio
should deliver to Pancho his inheritance
and before the courts decided, Antonio
settled, deceiving Pancho.
"Pancho, since he was oyears OIL age,
