A letter written by Noakes to his

TO the court Thursday afternoon-clip'
ped from newspaper. The matter was
not given TO tire jury. Judge Oantrill
ruling that the witness could not be

contents without first showing that the
letter had been either lost or destroyed.
The defense will endeavor TO get the
letter.
Harry Tandy, Assistant Secretary OF
State, produced the executive journal
kent by Governor Taylor. The journal
did not show an order calling out troops

wanted to show pardons issued by Gov
ernor Taylor to mountain men whc had
bsen fined In the Frankfort police courts
for carrying pistols, but the court ex'
