was his significant remark" said Mr..
Foster.
In further conversation with him he
told me that he had worked in factory
in Danvilie for three years. Then l told
him that If he could prove such 10 be
the rlct. ] would not put the charge of
murder against him, but that had .rea-
son to believe that he was implicated in
a murder.

standing. h recognized him as man
whom he had seen in the bar the Saturday
night before. He asked him what the
trouble was. hut received no reply, and
the man ran on.
When asked the pointed question. he said
that he was positive that the prisoner a,
the bar was the same man.
do you know what the penalty is for
murder?" asked Lawyer Wise, counsel
for the defence.

Then You say that You recognize this
man as the same YOU saw running out
Fifth Street on the morning of the shoot
