The TRIAL STILL on.

Conner was present. had dealings |
with Waller and were talking about
a settlement; Wintersteen remarked |
that he would serve 20 years in
penitentiary to put a ball through |
Levi Waller; later on he made the
same remark. / said Mr.. Waller
never said anything about you to
me. In 1894 we took hold of the
foundry. Mears & Co. had it before
and there were some judgments
against it, and all were paid off but
Walters and one or two others, and
we wanted Conner to settle with
him. Mr.. Wintersteen was angry
because he thought the Judgment
on record was not right, and he
would get it opened. The second
time he said if he could get his
money out of Irondale he would
take those judgments and the firm
could pay him interest. Then he
made the remark about Waller.
