ADAMS ROSS-EXAMINED
Adams was then called to the stand.
In response to the questions OF Mr..
Gibbon, he reasserted positively that
just before Axtell had appeared before
the grand jury there had been an ex-
plicit understanding between Axtell,
Webb and himself as to what should be
sworn to, and that 1t was agreed that the
money that had been paid by Cooper
was to be left in Brother" Pitman's
pocket. On ross-examination on this
point, Adams had q narrow escape from
becoming confused. He was asked
where the money was at the time this
agreement was entered into. and replied
in Pitman's pocket. He evidently rnisun-
derstood the question. but the attorney
took advantage of 1t, and made him
make several statements that were not
wholly in accordance with his previous
testimony. Adams stopped the questions.
however. and insisted upon setting him
self right by making corrected state
ment.
At the conclusion Of Adams testimony
Axtell was called. Then Mr.. oliver in
sisted upon a separation Of the wit
nesses, saying that 1t was but fair that
Adams retire, as he would be wanted
as a defendants witness later. This
caused much discussion. 1t was urged
by the prosecution that the action of
the board In determining the guilt or in
nocence Of the accused might be rem
dered illegal II any member was re-
quired to leave the room. 1t was prob
able that other members would be called
as witnesses and to enforce the rule of
separation Of witnesses was not possi-

did not intend to go; that he was a men,

to leave. However, when Mr.. Gibbon
told him that the prosecution would not
need him again and that he was at
liberty to go II he 80 desired, he left
the room and the building.

the same as that given by him last week,
