ION Thursday, the 18th, we started
out in the farm wagon and drove into
the feed yard on Also street about half
past four. We went then to DR.. Smiths
office to get some money, but he WASH t
there, and I went to his house and saw
Mrs. Smith. She gave me check for
$50 and tried to get it cashed that night
at the Los Angeles grocery store at
Third and Main, where always got my
groceries. The proprietor was not in,
and we waited around till about 10
o'clock and then left. We slept that
night at the feed yard and spread our
blankets on the hay under the shed. On
Friday We had no money to get break
fast, so we went back to the grocery
store to change the check. The propri-
etor said he hadn't that much money in
the store, but he took the check ard gave
his check to me so that wouldn't need
to be identified. We drew the money

ant. 1t was just before IL o'clock then.
After eating we drove out to Cahuenga
and found DR.. Smiths place about two
miles up the canyon. DR.. Smith owns
about eighty acres and we walked about
and discussed what clearing it was
worth. Then we drove back to town and
got in about o'clock. We watered the
stock and then came up town. I saw a
team of mules standing at the Golden
Gate stables and as I was looking
around for heavier team went in and
saw AL Stevens. He and talked the
matter over ard Stevens and I went
down to the corral, as he wanted to see
my team. Then I returned up townwith
Stevens and had lunch on First street,
and having not much to do went into
the Volunteers meeting and heard Cap

Witness proceeded to mention certain
incidents which occurred at the meet
ing and which had been testified to by
Captain and Mrs. Smith. on the witness
stand. Witness left about 10 o'clock, be-
fore the meeting had finally closed.
While or hisway back to the Also street
corral Henshaw met Graham.
About quarter past II" he resumed,
II went into the saloon at the corner of
Alameda and Also streets and got a
bottle of beer and we returned to the
corral and drank the beer The gates
were locked and so we had to climb over
the fence. In jumping down tangled
my feet in some balirg wire, and some
one sleeping in shed had bulldog and
it held US down. Whoever the man was,
he raised up and spoke to the dog and it
laid down and we went to sleep"
Most of the facts stated by Henshaw
had been testified to by other witnesses,
and so the jury will be confronted by 4
case wherein the prosecution has shown
with tolerable clearness that the de-
PENDANTS perpetrated the robbery and
the defense has shown that they were
at the time of the perpetration of the
crime sleeping the sleep of innocence
many miles away.
