Telling about his trouble with Evans,
he said that he and Evans had met once
before, and Evans brought up his former
difference He did not remember what
It was Evans came in and said he heard
he had been looking for him, and If this

away continually. He was SO occupied
with this that he saw but little of tha
trouble between Hamilton and Day.
He heard George say that his hand had
been cut, and then someone said some
thing about Day. He understood the
expression to mean that Day had been
knocked OUT by a punch, and not be-
lieving that the place was place where

EVANS WAS BUSY.
Ray L. Evans when on the stand told

brought out was that when he and Ham

Day asked to ,be introduced to Hamilton.

| notice much of what passed between
/ Hamilton and Day. From what he heard
of their conversation he believed that
Day was accusing Hamilton of circulat-
