A It seemed so to me.
G On which side of you was Dr.. Craw-
ford?
A. On the left.
q You say in advance of you-which
way?
a. He was not very much in advance;
we were both going in the direction of the
stile: he was just a little in advance of
nc, diagonally opposite in the same d.
-ecticn. I suppose couple OF feet, maybe.
@. Did DR.. Crawford offer any resist
ance?
A No, sir; he seemed to be taken COM
pletely by surprise. and before he re-
covered from his surprise. Judge Camp
hell. Of his own accoud. stopped and
walked off.
c. Do you remember how he happened
to stop?
A, 7 recollect asking him to stop my
self, and then think Mr.. Payne ordered
him to stop. lam not sure about that.
but know Mr.. Payne was there. We were
ali very much surprised. or at least
was and before we recovered ourselves
tiIe matter was over.
Finally. what does DR.. Crawford say?
When dismissed and discharged by Judge
Campbell of the rule and attachment for
contempt on June oath. the court said:

So, Mr.. Crawford, you are free, so far
as am concerned.

THE ASSAULT.
Then (page $50 DR.. Crawford says:
LAS Judge Mann and I were walking
out together it seemed to me it would be
6isccurteous to avoid him. and I had no
reason to wish to do So and I supposed
inasmuch as Judge Mann and I were to-
gcther. Of course would be included. and
1 extended my hand as Judge Campbell
tune dto me. Then he didn't seem to
notice my extended hand. or at least I
couldn't tell whether he saw it or not.
but he didn't shake hands with me. ne
spoke of my having declined to with
draw the statement that I had made in
the Christian Federation. and I think. al
though of course, I couldn't be expected
to remember very distinctly every word
spoken at that time. in vie wof what hap
pened, I think I began to make some ex-
! plal a ton of that-that is my impression.
At any rate, I had no chance to do so
be1o ore Judge Campbell struck me again
and again with the viii phe held in his
right hand. He struck me a number of
blows SO rapidly that I had no time to
collect myself or hardly to realize what
was happening

there. 81 had to use my handkerchief
to staunch the blood. It was there some

there nwo or not. but it was for some
days. That is where the most severe cut
was.

And Con pages 1890

Judge Campbell? or had you anything to
prevent this attack?
A. No. sir.
@. Are you quite sure OF that?
A. I am.
g 1t has been rather intimated by
counsel on the other side that you ad-
dressed him in sneering way, Were you
conscious Of such intent?
A. No, sir; 1 never thought of such a
thing
@. understood you to say you con-
sidered it a matter of politeness to speak
to him .as he had spoken to yous coun-
sci by your side?
A. Yes: I supposed the thing was en-
tirely over. 1t never occurred to me there
would be anything further in reference to
the matter at all.
On cross-examination DR.. Crawford said

Q At the time you extended your hand
TO Judge Campbell. did you think there
was any good feeling existing between
you two gentlemen, or was there any?
A. I didn't think about that at all
That question never entered my mind

was settled. I thought when it WIS set
tied here in the courthouse 1t was all
over.
