Q.-What part of the history did
Wilton Hissom confirm? A.-Well, it
is difficult-there were such a mass OF
statements in regard to the affair thar
it is difficult for me now to say. l

the street-we met sometime and had
a discussion.

know that l reeolleet the time, but I
know he was present, and that there
was no difference of opinion.

versations, and I will not undertake to
say.

Wilton Hi5som? Al am unable to
separate it from the general history of
the case.

statements by Mr.. Hi5som? A.-The
statements were simply confirmed by
them. I cannot state that they did

talked in a general wag-there was no
dispute as to the effect-but I can't say
what any particular one said.

that went to make up the history Of
the case? Any recollection is that
Mr.. Hissom mentioned the matter of
the Doctor coming to his house and
creating a commotion-prclbably hav-
ing a revolver in his hand and threat
