Mr.. llainoS for the defense again oh
jectcd on the ground that witness as
Deputy Sheriff. was person in authority
and should have warned the accused.
The Court ruled that whatever came
/ from Holland voluntarily was admiSSu-
bic but anything obtained under threats
or promises Was not. Defense noted an
exception.
Witness made 10 threats or promises
to Holland nor did anyone else in his
presence. Holland said his mother said
that she had passed Mr.. Constable down
the hiII Holland also said that Il white
man had stopped ut his fence and told
him that an old man was sick down the
1"ad and told what Holland said he said
to Mr.. '~nStahI" and What tn" latter
said to him pretty much as most OF the
other Stat" witnesses had testified. Wit
ness said that llopp> told Mr. CrothcrS
that h" did not see the strange man aS
h" had his back toward til" road and also
tlQt h" could not have seen him if h"
had locked. Hops said h" had found
"ac foot track tof the Str:lugcrH near
ll"lland'>' and that he had left III about
an hour and Il half after Holland went
down tn" hill Oo Mr.. tonstahlr,. Hops
also sand hr was helping AT putting Il
the on wheel fer Hollands dog cart.
Holland told Mr.. Croth"rS that he had
never left the stump for any purpose
until he Went to Mr.. Corstabc'S help.
Witness asked Holland what he knew
of Salisbury and what h" told him WIS
voluntary. Witness told of sending out
messages to various points.
Cross examined. Hops was coming
out of his shamy door when witness
Went there. Later Hops was at Hol-
lands. Neither tried to get away, 40
far as witness knew. Hops would not
talk much about the matter Holland
complained to Rutledge Of feeling cold
when the latter got his statement. Wit
ness did not tell Holland he had to make
the statement.
Henry l.. Constable. Father was 60
years of age. His eyeSight was such
that at dusk he could not distinguish
people well. He knew Hops but wit
ness could not say whether he knew Hol-
land. Witness did not know Holland
till last summer.
Alexander SOwrlS. Was at the scene
Of the shooting the next afternoon.
Holland said he and Hopps were fixing
the wheel at the stump. Somebody ask
ed him what he was going to do the next
day. He replied that he had nothing in
view or something to that effect II0pps
sWid he had not looked up when the
stranger passed. Witness remarked it
waS queer that he had not done 50. Wit
ness was about to tell Of ITopps' saying
he measured the Strangers track but as
he could not say that Holland heard or
could have heard what IIopps said. the
evidence WAS not admitted. Witness
