Continued from First Page.

stable. He got out of his buggy to fix the
| harness, and the man came up 10 look him
IN the face. Il did not Ike the way he
came do wn on fne, said MIR. Mace.
He also testified that back III the bushes
on the road there was another coIored man,
| and the one who came up TO him walked
back to where the other one was standing.
He Identified Randolph as the man who
came up 10 him. and said lie had seen him
before, on Thursday OF Friday, at Bethesda
Park. The place where the men were
seen last on this Sunday evening by Mr..
Mace was described by him, and was about
$50 yards from the Buxton house. Deputy
Sheriff Horton Thompson was also called
aud gave some facts as to his investigation
B. F. Hicks told OF having measured the
tracks in the fields and compared them
with a measurement Of Randolph's foot
taken today at Rockville He went to the
jail today for the purpose of determining
the similarity OF footprints and took there
for that purpose box OF soft earth. which
be asked Randolph to put his foot in. but
this lie refused TO dc, and only did SO
under compulsion. The footprint was the
same length and breadth as that measured
in the field. He said there was little differ
ence between Neale's and Randolph's foot
prints as to size.
RANDOLPH'S STICK IDENTIFIED.
George English told of the entrance OF
a man into his mothers house Monday
morning before daybreak and about the
falling stick. which statement was
given fully in The Times several days ago.
He then told about finding a strange stick
holding the window up- This stick was
turned oyer TO the officials. and only
today it developed to whom it be-
longed.S
Detective Pohler and Deputy Sheriff
Horton Thompson went out early this
morning. and after considerable investi-
cation found two people who had seen
Randolph. They Were both residents of
Rockville. and as exclusively stated in
yesterdays Evening Times. they posi-
lively identified the stick as one which
Randolph had with him when they saw
him. These witnesses were Miss Carroll
and 4 young man named George Meads.
An amusing incident of the Jury of in
quest was the attitude of Justice of the
Peace Baughnan toward States Attorney
Kilgour. The latter at yesterdays session
sat by Mr.. Belt and prompted certain Ques-
tons. instead of asking them directly. as is
his province. Today the jurors were diff
ferenuy seated aud Mr. Kilgour was next
to Juror Tchffilly and spoke TO him in an
undertone. The latter then asked cues
ton.
Quick as flash Justice Baughman spoke
up from the other end of the stage:
"Mr. Kilgour IL you have any questions
to ask you will please submit them to me
In writing and not talk to the jurors"
The States attorney made no reply, but
kept his seat by the juror.
AS TO GLEN JOHNSON.
Notwithstanding the frequent connec-
ton OF Clcm Johnson's name with the
Buxton crime little has been done to ascer-
toi Itic W her tnn ba DO,
the assault, and particularly the Saturday
evening that several witnesses testified
to having seen Randolph near the pump
at GaitheTsburg. Each of these witnesses,
with the exception of one, stated that the
man they saw looked like Glenn Johnsol.
The question has arisen in the minds or
some as to whether OF not the man seen
was not Glenn johnson.
No one seems to have remarked the re-
scmblance until after the Buxton assault,
when every resident of the place knew
that Buxton had said his aSsailant looked
like Glen johnson. Then these people
remembered seeing a man looking like
Glen.
The Times correspondent today had a
talk with Glen. He very much resembles
Randolph in height and stature and has
the latter's shambling walk.
TALK WITH JOHNSON.
he said he was at the town pump the
Saturday before Whitsunday, the day in
question, and remembered going there
that Saturday evening, about 6 O'Clock,
which is the hour the witnesses say they
saw Randolph. Itis believed that this point
will be used by the defence to prove that
Glen might have been the man seen.
Clem was positive 1t was about 6 O'Clock,
because he got through work at that hour
and walked directly over to the pump.
Mr.. Ashley NJ. Gould, counsellor Randolph,
today spoke in strong adverse terms o the
method of extracting discriminating cv.
dence against Randolph by compelling him
to put his foot in a box of soft earth.
The attorney said the evidence would
amount to nothing in court and laughed at
the statements OF some of the witnesses.
He and the counsel for Neale have refrain
ed from cross-examining the witnesses be
cause in that case their testimony already
given will have to be given over again
and their statements will not be admissible
in court as they were given before the
cOrOners Jury.
