January 3ist. and met woman, whom
he had known in Somerset. KY, five

They walked together TO a house on
George street near Plum. "Near the
house. standing on the corner" said the
witness, was a man with an umbrella

While standing at the front door a cab
drove up. The woman went into the
house and soon returned saying Every
thing is all right The cab-driyer and

brella went inside the house and brought

his shoulder, and climbed over a fence.
Then j drove back to Newport. / turned

Truste said he had directions TO go
over slowly after he left George street,
so he could meet the Doctor in New
port.
What did you do after you left the
cab at the end Of the Newport bridge?'

Witness said he saw in a Cincinnati
paper an account Of the murder at Fort
Thomas. He thought IL might be con-
nected with his ride in the country He
tod his father and Captain Seward about
the occurrence.
To combat this testimony, the prose
culoh presented letters from William
Truste, father OF the witness. claiming
that the story was all false, and Offering
10 prove that it had been concocted by
Detective John Seward, who had been
employed for that purpose.
