There was crowded court at
Bow street, when the hearing OF the
charges against DR.. jameson and
his colleagues was resumed by Sir
j. Bridge, after a very long interval,
granted on the application of the
Crown to permit Of further wit
nesses being called from S. Africa.
The first witness was Lieut.. Elof,
Kruger's nephew. He is in the
Transvaal Army, and is a clean
'haven, sedate young man, who, in
broken English and in a low voice,
related how he set out from Kru-
gersdorp in the direction OF Mafe-
king on Dece mi Der 81. He was, Of
course in search OF DR.. Jameson's
column, and when he met it at a
place, the name of which he pro-
ounced SO curiously that no one
could understan it, he was called
upon to halt. His horse and rifle
we're taken away from him, but Maj.
White gave him receipt for these
He asked to see DIR. Jameson, and
was taken to him.
Mr. Sutton-What did you say to
him? l asked him If it was right TO
arrest me. He did not answer me
at once. What happened9 He after
wards said, You shall have back
your horse, but we shall keep your
arms" My horse was given back
to me. Did he make any condition
about it2 Not DR.. Jameson, but the
man who gave me back the horse
said the condition was that | should
stay there two hours. | agreed to
that condition.

Did the column then saddle up2
Yes. They went in the direction of
Krugersdorp. / remained for two
hours, after which | moved in the
direction OF Rustemberg. Joining
Commandant Malan on January |,
l marched towards Krugersdorp.
The witness then went on to describe
the battle of Krugersdorp, men,
tioning that there were about 500
Beers present when the place was
shelled, and that the Boer battery
was in turn charged by some of DR..
Jameson's men, with the result that
persons we're killed on both sides.
"But we beat them back" added the
lieutenant Significantly. After this
repulse the British column fell back
upon Viakfontein, where they re.
NAMED for the night. Early next
morning there was further strug-
gle at Dornkorpf, where the doctor
surrendered.
Sir E. Clarke said he did not in
tend at this stage to cross-examine
the witness, but would ask for per-
mission to do so later on.

the Johannesburgers' letter of Dec.
20, was correct. On Jan. 16, the
State Attorney, in the presence of
