| breakfast together and / paid for 1t.
| Stanteid objected to the price, $1.5O, as
| he thought it was too high. but he did
! not understand the money system.
Stanield and l left Lemperly and went
| to . barber shop where we were both
shaved From here we went 10 the
Mexican Central depot, which was
about two and one half blocks away.
We talked there awhile and went to
| the government wharf, which was I'M
| der construction, having been burned
| down a short time before, and l eX-
planted it to him. Then we went TO the
| depot, got our grips and started for the
hotel. We sat down in the park not far
from the hotel to rest, and Stanfield
and l dissolved partnership right there.
l had no quarrel with Stanfield. He was
merely scared out of going into bust
ness. When l reached the hotel Lem

all day. We slept together that night

this hearing"
Mr.. Greenwell denies that Hodges,
the prosecuting witness, ever told him
he had heard that Greenwich gave away
Stanfield's grip and its contents. he
said that when he and Hodges parted
in Mexico. the latter took an oath with
tears in his eyes that he believed that
there was nothing in the story OF him
being the murderer.
Continuance Asked.
The prosecution failed to produce any
of the testimony which they promised
in the petition filed thirty days ago Tor
a continuance. The Mexican govern
ment from all appearances has aban-
doned the case. 1t has no representa-
tive present. Not a new deposition ia
ken in Mexico was introduced and not
a witness from that country was
brought b. - euaon. ~ the re-
quest for Il continuance ii was claimed
evidence could be introduced to SHOW
that Greenwich had tiourished three
500 bills after he left Stantield, ana
had said, 1T took d lot OF nerve to get
It. but got It." Neither the man who
said it. nor his deposition was in court.
The evidence against Greenwich We'd
nesday afternoon looked weak, ana w.
IN Hodges. who instigated the proceed
inrs. and has been the prosecuting wit
ness, appealed to the attorneys TO Sc
cure another continuance, OF thirty
DAYS. This the lawyers refused to DO
telling him that he had thirty, and that
was all they could expect the court TO
