Mr. Frazier said: I have been il

dial and laid it on seat in car; have
seen Mrs. Harrison on the cars great
many times; have seen her down il
Salem; remember she got on Car al
Second street; it was in warm wealth
er, in 1895, think; l was called Out

out; do not remember seeing her
any more that day; have seen her two
or three times about the power house;
Charley McClamroch was firing; l did
not see her doing anything except
dlhluS Will hOOidLAiOCH, 'SOu
had never said anything to me except
to bid me the time OF day; Stockton
ran on car three or four months; /
never heard of any difficulty between
Stockton and Har1ison's wife until
after he left; l simply recall seeing
her ON the car that day by Stockton's
calling my attention to it year ago.
Cross examIned-I asked Stockton
what made him leave here; If it was
trouble with his girl down street; he
said no, that he had had a little
trouble with Mr.. Harrison about his
wife, who lives out On the West End;
l then asked him what was the
trouble; he replied he had some
trouble with his wife on a car, adding:
You remember the day" | replied
that | did not; he said: Yes you
do; you remember the day that she
got on the car at Second street aud
went on down in Salem and got off
at Cemetery street / told him l re-
membered her getting on the car and
getting off about there; he said you re-
memUer her getting on the car again
at the place she got eff; L replied that
l remem oered it; he said we'll, that is
the time it happened; that she went
on down and got off the Car in Salem
and waited until he went through to
the South Side and returned; she went
with him to South Side;
Stockton said that was the trouble
that made him leave: l have seen this
lady frequently on the street cars;have
seen her at different points on the
line; don't know that l ever spoke to
her; Stockton is the same man that
went on The car to relieve couple OF
men last Wednesday,; l have never
heard Stockton use HarrisOn's or his
Uifa'S nf n
life.
THOMAS PATTERSON TESTIFIEs.
The next witness was Thomas Pat
tersOn, who said: | heard the pistol
shot; L was moving a big rock back of
my house at the time; on the east side
| saw the street car pass; did not
notice who was on it; in second,
when the car had passed out OF my
sight, l heard pistol shot; l went on
with my work suppOsing it to be
on the track; very soon the
car rolled back with no one on it; l
was at work on the east side of my
house near the back side; Mr. Conrad
directly called to me and said there
was man shot; l went to the place;
we found the man laying on MS left
side with his nose in the blood; his
head was five or six feet from the
north rail OF the car track; his feet
were within a foot of the north rail Of
the track; his head was laying north
east from the track.
Cross examined 1 saw the pistol,
perhaps after we took his face out OF
the blood; / thought the pistol was
in his pocket; when we moved his
head we did not move his feet at all
and the head aud body just enough to
get his nose out of the blood; he re-
NAMED there until Mr. Sheppard and
others came; he was not able to move
himself; l have known Mr.. Harrison
for 10 or II years and his character is
good; he lives in sight OF me.
