quitting time Forester blew his whistle and
1 heard a shout. 1 saw the convicts standing
around laughing and went up to Forester
and asked him who 1t was that shouted. He

What about o'Meara's story of the assault

There is not a word of truth in it. 1

Mr.. Lemon corroberated Glennons stae-

who had his leg broken?"
Il was not there at all, until after he
was removed to the hospital. l warned Mr..

How about Jesse James McDonald?'

I time, he said. who was in the solitary.
Maresch, he said, hit him in the dining room,
and the accusative testimony about his be-
