shooting and the captain was alone.
Kirby was not with him.
Did not see Kirby on the Wednesday,

Had Several Tits.
| There were several tilts between Cook
and Mr.. Wilson, and the former was
| warned several times not To criticise coun-
sell Mr.. Wilson asked about the trip of
witness UP Westminster street on the day
| prpyiou 20 the shooting. Cook was
! pushed hard on the point as to how he
| knew Lingane, and he said when Mr..
! q Bourkc pointed defendant out that
! gentleman remarked There's Lingane
/ DOWN in The Telegram Office now; the
! tail man with the light overcoat;' and
| s"cing a man resembling the description,
! followed him. He denied telling hack

that no would not prosecute Lingane
In Blanding's drug store witness said
he had talked with Major Harcourt
about the cowhidc whip and also with
| Deputy Sheriff Rabbit Denied that he
told the latter that Lingane had shot
] him after witness had struck at the de-
| fendant Did say TO Major Harcourt,
Now you fellows have got something
else to write up.
This was the first time any reference
| 10 a newspaper article had been got in,
though Mr. Wilson had several times be-
! fore tried To get the witness To say some
thing about an article that appeared in
! The Telegram, of which the defendant
! was the manager, but Attorney General
! Dubois had succeeded in keeping it out
! By objection.
! After some objection by the attorney
general witness was asked If he had "a
conversation the day before the shooting
/ with Henry w. Blake, IN which he,
! witness, said he would stand in "a certain
/ place until Lingane came along, and
then he would make Lingane, using an
opprobrious term toward him, dance.
! Witness admitted tAat he had been
! convicted of an assault on Lmgane but
/ said he did not talk with George Greene
! about the assault nor that he told William
! d. Perrin that he attacked Lingane
before tho latter shot him. Remembered
having IA conversation with Charles h.
I Lincoln, Boston Herald correspondent
| before the shooting, but claimed that
thsre was no reference TO Lingane in it.
This conversation was given in full and
| Cook said he told Lincoln be would horse
| whip any reporter that would write him
! up wrong and that the horscwhipping
would take place in front Of the pOstoilice.
Under Bonds to Keep the Peace.
Cook, when asked by General Wilson,

performer. Again Mr. Wilson had Cook
re-cnact part of the scene that took place
