MAoERs cRoss-ExAMINED.
John Hall conducted the cross-ex-
animation Of the defendant. When
the first letter lie wrote to Sink was
offered, Holmes objected on the ground
that IL should have been introduced by
the state on direct examination, thai
IL was not proper cross-examlnation.
The court examined the letter and
sustained Mr.. Holmes.
Sink paid all bills for rigs; paid Ma
gers; Sink asked TO be taken TO Salem;
said he wanted to go to Newberg; n
went TO the Wilson lodging house and
got a room with two beds; Mayors
went TO bed and Sink lay down with

house near State Insurance building;
Mayors got out and stranger got ini
Mayors paid no more attention to
them; walked up Commercial street
aud met John Scott. Rest OF cross
did not vary from his
direct testimony Ia any material
manner.
Mayors was vlsibly confused and
by the cross exanlna-
tion on the point OF the various sep
arations between him and Sink ou
the 18th. Otherwise he stood II
very we'll. The whole impression
he made was more OF stupidity
than that Of the demonlac hend, who
must have decoyed Sink from East
erD Oregon, aud then out 0f town on
some pretense, knocked him senseless,
