knew why IL was done. as Cavanaugh
never mentioned the cause to the Wit
ness until . few days ago. There were
some allegations that Booth had sur
reptitiously wiped some blood on the

aid that when Mr.. Connolly nrst
spoke Of II he then admitted that what
eveI MFR. Connolly said as to the condi-

fact at the trial and IL was so done.
The witness sal he had no object in
wiping OF the blood. and II he had done
so II was done Internationally while
he was handling the weapon. The fact
was that the more blood there was on
the gun the better II would support the
contention OF he defense. Booth de-
MED that ne ever instructed Al Ford

tell him to cut out the immaterial mat
