the present prosecutor in the mail. It
was dusk when he returned and went
to the house. Quincy was there. The
lamp was lit at the time. They next
ate super. After supper he and Quincy
sat down and looked over the mail.
He went to bed at 1850 o'clock, his
wife telling him with hand on his
shoulder: "It is time to go to bed"
Fifteen minutes before this Quincy
took off his coat, vest, bots and stock
ings and went up stairs to bed. He
next saw him when he called him at

The Clock Struck
jeff Rainbow came for Quincy, call
ing from the yard. Rainbow said,
"Jim Gosnell is dead and they want
Quincy" I asked, How was he kill
ed?" Rainbow answered, go down
and find out" He went over to the
stair door and called to Quincy twice
to get up, as he was wanted at Go
nell's, as jeff Rainbow said Jim was
was shot. Quincy said he did not be-
lieye it and came down stairs and
dressed. They both got out horses and
rode to Charles Gosnells and inquired
at Park Tolbert if anything was wrong
orlr am
was. l went home and Quincy went
down to Jim Gosnell's. He denied hav-
ing a talk with william Miller and
Quincy at his place on the Tuesday
after the murder. He removed the
three shoes off the horse and gave
them to Attorney Rogers.
Cross examined by Attorney Lewis,
he said there was no enmity between
his family and his son-in-law, William
Miller, and family. He said the reason
he did not testify at the former trial
was that he was not called. He was
not in good health during the former
trial and he talked but little with
attorneys for the defense about the
case. He remembered the old mus
ket and could identify it by piece
of tin about the broken stock He
was shown a piece of tin and he said
that was not the same, but wider
piece than it was. He could not re-
member what kind of tacks held the
gun. He was shown the lock and
hammer and said, 81 would not say
it was mine-the thumb-piece looks
higher"
He Was Not Sure.
that "Harper's Ferry" was inscribed
on the one he owned. He said, "The
barrel does not look like mine"
This afternoon the attendance Of
ladies was very large, and all of them
craned their necks as Cramblett came
in quietly and took a seat. Very Rev.
Dean Hartnedy occupied a chair in
side the rail.
John Cramblett was on for cross
examination. He said he stayed at
home on the Gay of the preliminary
hearing, the constable having ap-
peared and telling him he was not
needed. The coroners testimony and
grand jury notes of his testimony
was pulled on the witness, and as to
what Mrs. Ad McClain told him about
what Robert Nichols had testified to
at the preliminary hearing was in
CURED of him, and an endeavor to i'm
peach on divergence of testimony. He
said on the Saturday after coming
home from ST Cramblett's he asked
Quincy TO go for the mail, apd Quincy
said: You go, and I'll do the work"
When Quincy came down stairs that
night he said the reason he dil not
believe Gosnell was shot was because
Rainbow brought the word and Rain
bow and Gosnell were not good
friends. Quincy told him the particu-
lars when he came home Sunday morn
