side, between the city hall and the
adjoining building.

On crOSs-eXaminatiOn witness said
that he had gone out that way because
he had been SO instructed. AS he
understood it the reason for leaving
the Jail as de did was that a crowd
might gather. He did not see a crowd,
and when asked why he still took that
route the witness hesitated some time
and again answered that he had done
SO because instructed by the chief,
and because Snyder did not want to
be seen by any crowd. When he left
the Jail with Snyder, Mowre, Baker,
Hannah and Garnant accompanied
him. Witness did not see Harris until
after Snyder had been delivered to
McAnany, when he saw him standing
on the platform. They talked to-
gether, but witness could not remem-
Der what it was.
He was now asked to repeat what
had been said by him and Morse con-
corning the writ. Morse told him he
had heard there was some talk about
applying for a writ directed to Nc
Anany. About an hour after this Morse
gave him his instructions as to the
manner in which he was to take
Snyder out of the Jail. He saw Morse
twice that night, once about 8 O'Clock
in front of the Gruwell block and the
last time about IL o'clock in Mime
sofa avenue, east of Twenty-sixth
street, in q saloon and lunch counter.
When he entered the city Jail, after
he had seen Hubbard and the others
leave, witness said he saw a paper
posted on the door of the chiefs
Office, but did not read it. He merely
glanced at il and noticed the name of
Sidney F. Morse. Some remark was
made about the notice, but he could
not recall by whom or what it a
Witness was told by the other po-
licemen that a notice to Morse was
posted on the door, but he did not
read it. After much questioning the
witness admitted that the others told
him it was a notice to Morse about
something connected with Snyder.
He said he went to the Gruwell
building to meet Morse, as the latter
had told him he might be there. This
Morse told him about Z o'clock at
the city hall, at the time Morse told
him a writ might be issued directed
to McAnany.
Robert r. Hannah.
While waiting at the corner OF
T~wenty-ninth street and Montana ave
nue., waiting for McAnany, witness
said Snyder, when he saw Cooper.
called out to Cooper a couple OF
times and he placed his hand on his
mouth, to keep him from following.
Robert T.. Hannah, sergeant of po-
Ice, was at the chiefs Office when the
sheriff and Hathhorn called. He told
them th.t the Snyder case was one
belonging to the county and that he
had nothing to do with Morse's at
fairs as constable. The original writ
was not shown to him nor read, but
the sheriff made a couple of attempts
to serve a copy on him. He declined
to accept service and threw the copy
to the floor. Witness did not read
the copy posted on the door OF the
a party to the alleged conspiracy and
knew nothing about it, neither had
he done anything in the way OF CIV
ing counsel. He accompanied Salisbury
to the station with SNYDER, at the
request of Salisbury, but did not touch
the prisoner. He did not know that I
conversation with Harris in regard to
the writ. Witness saw McAnany read
the warrant to Snyder, a short dis
lance from the depot. {
The witness said that he could not
at night read printed matter of the
size of letters used in typewriting
without glasses. When the copy was
on the door he did not put on {
his glasses to look at it and conse- {
could not read it. Witness {
followed Salisbury to the depot, walk i
ing behind them. Witness had no s
key to the cell in which Snyder was {
confined and could open only the door ]
leading to the corridor. {
C-ross-examined witness said he had j
not seer Morse since the night be- 6
fore. He stepped into the car to get
p look at the prisoner, but the latter l
was SO surrounded by lawyers and {
policemen that he could not get close
