not on speaking terms with Mrs. Pyle.
Yesterday, however witness ventured
to give testimony along this line, but in
this particular regard was not of very
| pronounced character. Because Nc
Camish said Mrs. Pyle had been very
kind to him when he lay i'll at her house,
and he thought lot of her, witness was
of the opinion that defendant had no
right to make such remarks about a
married woman. 1t was conceded that
defendant was expected to die when he
lay i'll at Pyle's house, and if he was
nursed back to health and strength by
Mrs. Pyle he would be an ungrateful
brute If he didn't think a lot Of such
woman. Taken altogether, this branch
of evidence, so far, has not developed
strength. Although there are other wit
resses who may yet make the passion
of the defendant for Constable Pyles
wife so plainly apparent as to more than
suffice for motive why McCamish
should desire Pyle out of the way.
SOME SCRAPPY TESTIMONY
j. Arnott, the superintendent Of the
Newhall ranch, resumed his seat upon
the witness stand yesterday for cross
examination. Then farmer named
John Burson, who lives about two miles
from Fillmore, was put forward by the
prosecution. He testified to visiting the
defendants room in company with Line
berger on the Tuesday following the
Sunday Of the funeral. Lineberger was
looking for a butcher knife claimed to
have been stolen from witness, and in
pursuing a search miscellaneous array
ff rt ;v<r
dence, were found, as we'll as a quantity
Of baking powder.
S. Edwards, another farmer, testified
to having seen Mrs. Pyle in company
with the defendant in the month of Feb
ruary. 1t was in Pyle's house and about
noon. He noticed that McCamish talked
with Mrs. Pyle every time her husbands
| back was turned. She went into small
room and he followed and the two whis-
pered together. The sum total of the
witness testimony was that during the
time Mrs. Pyle was making preparation
to come to Los Angeles the defendant
and Mrs. Pyle engaged in several whis-
pered conversations, and McCamish
seemed to be asking her something. for
she repeatedly said, mo, no." At this
| time the defendant was living with the
Pyles.

from Jailor Kennedy for delivery to the
court at Newhall during the preliminar
examination Of defendant at Newhall,
