The time book was put in evidence,
moving that Vansant was working at
silver Run road up to October 18TH.
AT the interview at his office Fahey
stated that Vansant said that johnson
md Lynn testified to the payment of
he money and if they were right he
vas right. The time book as taken to
he office of Mr.. Bird, but the court
would not let the witness testify as to
What he said to Mr.. Bird about it, for
he book spoke for itself Yansant was
working at the West Junction brick
ard October 4th. They were working
n Lynns premises after October.
The court would not allow Fahey to
ay that he told Vansant he might
ave gone with him to Lynn's either
efore October 4th or when he was at
he brickyard.
Mr.. Biggs read the question put to
lr Fahey In the Lynn case py Mr..
iird as to taking Vansant to Lynn's
a October, and asked him what he
ieant by his answer that he took him |
ut there.
The court ruled that it was for the
Try to give the construction to the
ords.
Mr.. Biggs asked him il he did not
Ipeot the attorney general to ask him '
neither he was at Lynn's between I
ctober 10th and 18th, but the court {
lied out the question. s
Prior to Vansant's testimony, he {
'nied having any conversation what (
'er with VansanJ about his testimony. t
Mr.. Fahey said he told Vansantsand O
hers on more than one occasion before Q
e trial that in regard to any matter t.
,ey testified to in the Lynn or any t
her cases to tell the truth and they Il
1uld not have any trouble.

When the trial was resumed Fri s,
