 indicated, but could not identify him. Witness then told of tests made, of Prince being in the vault while he and Morris Goldwater were in the jailor's room in the basement. Prince made certain noises, which they heard, and it sounded as if it was overhead, and that another test had been made, which was participated in by Distriet-Attorney Clark, Jailor Heisler, Sheriff Roberts and Carter. This test was described, the District Attorney going into the vault and hay ing the doors closed, shouted and stamped on the floor of the vault with his feet, his shouting and stamping being heard by others in the hall and in the jailor's room in the basement, and that the sound of the noise could be traced to the treasurer office He | heard no noises on election night, of any unusual character, except a slight rattling noise made by Jailor Heisler. as he entered the room in which he, the witness was sleeping. Witness ask ed 'What was that?" Heisler then opened the wicket leading to the pris- on, and asked the prisoners if they wanted anything. No reply was re- ceived. Witness stated that there was no comparison between this noise and those made during the test.
 His cross-examination was rigorous, but it practically developed nothing new. Witness admitted that he was very tired that evening, and that he went to bed about 9.30 o'clock, stat ing that none of the men at the time of the test were gagged or bound. in any way whatever, and that these tests were all made in the day time.
 George Heisler, who was county iailor and deputy sheriff in NOvem- Der, 1904, testified that he heard no noise on the night of November s, and at this point there was sharp tilt between the attorneys as to the question of the witness testifying to the quality and kind of noises he heard and their relation to each other
 Witness stated that he might have been absent from the courthouse for one or two hours. He was in the sheriff office at II o'clock, after jailor's room.

When he reached the door he located it as being on that floor, and then as he advane- ed, located' it in the treasurer's of flee. Witness knew nothing about test at this time.

"'If you do not tell me anything, I will not know anything" Defendant then said, ''No doubt, did wrong. but others are to blame as much as l.
 At this point, there was a lively time between the attorneys, on the question of witness repeating more than once some of these conversations with defendant. His testimony re- lative to another test was now given, in which A. Herndon and himself took part, witness being on the inside of the vault, Herndon on ne outside. On cross-examination witness admitted that he was not gagged while in the vault, and that the inside door was open.
