account of the arrest of Mckay and some
statements on the witness stand, Taylor
said that Mckay had been placed under
arrest and been confined In the Jail prac-
tically 4s hours before any complaint had
been filed against him.
Yesterday while in the hallway of the
station Taylor was accosted by Aubie, who
said he was surprised at the statements he
had made in regard to the case, as he had
told deliberate falsehood. Taylor in
Quired in what respect, and was informed
that the complaint had been filed Thursday,

lor replied that he had said the man had
been confined in the jail practically 4S hours

even though Mckay had only been incar-
icerated "a hours before complaint had
been sworn to, the fact Of the issuance of
such document had been kept dead Sc

Auble then called him a liar. Taylor re-
