one knew that he knew anything about
this matter. Did he know what Mr..
Simms, Ned Barnes. or Miss Pace, or the
little boy Thomas had seen? How could
he swear to the same things they had
sworn to if he had not been an eye wit
ness Of it?
Colonel Harris referred to the two Pul
leys of Johnston county, as dlsreputable
men, and Mr.. Daniel interrupted to ask
why he so characterized them.
The Judge said it was not for this
court to say what they were, whatever
a higher court might say of them.
Colonel Harris went on to speak of the
other witnesses who had testified against
Hocutt. AS for Captain Smelling, he said
that both he and Hocutt were members
of the Central Methodist church. He had
sworn to the bad character of Hocutt
at the Habeas corpus hearing, and yet
had made no effort to have him excom-
municated from his church. The testi-
mony against Hocutt had certainly looked
like prejudice.
On the other hand we hal Mr.. N. B.
Broughton giving Mr.. Hocutt a good
character, and DR.. L. p Sorrell. and
other witnesses from Johnston county
He had denied the conversation that had
taken place in Henderson, and had done

mistaken.

and court was adjourned until nine O'Clock
