'.Roundtree" and Knott" upon it. That
was memorandum of a will Judge Holt
had draw WI for Miss Hynes, one of the benes
ficiaries under the paper.
| Judge Holts daily account book was
! also placed in evidence. 1t was produced
and offered by Mr.. Worthington who read
from it to show that the Judge Jotted his
expenses in 1t even down to the expend-
iture of cents for car fare. This was
| largely used in the cross examination OF
Miss Hynes when she was again a witness
on the stand.
Edwin B. Hay, the attorney and hand
| writing expert, was called tn the stand
| by Mr.. Darlington to relate the result OF
| his comparison of the writing in the will
with that In the letters acknowledged to.
have been written by the judge. He pro-
/ nounced the will genuine SO far as hand
writing was concerned.

Miss Annie Tuily, a domestic in the fam
lily of the Throckmortons. said on the wit
| ness stand that she accompanied Miss
Josephine Throckmorton to the home of
Judge Holt on two occasions. Both visits

care of her for his wife's sake.
| The generous Judge paid all Of her ex-
peDses. After the death of Mrs. Hoitn 1886
the witness went to live at the home Of her
| married sister and Judge Holt contin uetl to
pay all of her little expenses.
| On the occasion of the judges tour of the

Further questioning revealed that the
witness was not positive whether Judge
Holt made her remittances of any ini-
portance until 1889, and from the spring
or that year until the summer Of the fol-
lowing year.
He SENT MONEY ORDERS.
Miss Hynes was excused temporarily
from the stand and Lee n. Lipscomb of
the money order department of the post
office, was called. He brought with
him the records of his office to show that
Judge Holt had made remittances to
Miss Hynes between April, 1890, and
August, 1894. The aggregate sum of
the orders sent by him was $465.
The postmaster of Lebanon, KY, had
previously testified that the remittapces
came to Miss Hynes through his office
with great regularity, and with but sell
dom more than a month between.
When Miss Hynes was recalled. she said
that Judge Holt had dra wu up will for
her, and dated 1t January 1, 1885. he sent

man named Roundtree as the executor of
