This was the story that they told and
upon which the arrest was made. There
are other details of the story that show

In order to testify an attachment was
issued for his body and he was captured
by Sam Bartell a few days ago and has
been under guard ever since in order to
have him here for the trial today.
The hearing was resumed in the az
ternoon and teh witness Green was not
put on again. The first witness called
was Mrs. S NJ. Kingman, who testified
to seeing a man near tn eroad where
the killing was done. She said that
John Filson was not the man. When
presented for a better identification she
said that D. c. Lewis. one of Filson's
counsel looked more like the man she
saw at the side fthe road than any

City, there We're punches Of men gather
ed around different places discussing the
murder and talking about It, I did not
mention what had seen, or what
thought about this matter for the reas-
on that I was a stranger and took no
interest in the matter and did not know
for certain that this was the same party.
I was only looking for a place to move
to, and kept my eye and mind on that,
though I could not help but hear people
talking about the murder. I did not
know then and do not know now that
what I do know would lead to the de-
veloping Of the man who killed the old
Dutchman. I thought then and still
think that If were tc see the old man
who was in the wagon, I would wnok
who did the killing. provided this outGt
that saw in the streets was the one
that passed me in the gallop."
His statement concludes: II am go
ing to see the place where I camped,
and where I saw the transaction in the
wagon, and still look to see If can see
the young man that was driving or that
was in the wagon when it turned north;
don't know whether he was driving or
not Think if I were to meet the man
I would know him. I have been here
three days, but have not seen him yet"
