principal witness against the defend
ant swore that the prisoners hat had
been found near the place of the MUIR
der. The hat was then produced in
court, and the witness swore positive
ly that 1t was the same one that was
found, and that it belonged to the pris-
oner. y.
- :3By virtue of your oath, are you
positive that this is the same hat?"
YES"
Did you examine it carefully before
you swore that it was the prisoner's?"
Eyes"
"Now, let me see,' said O'Connell,
as he took up the hat and began care
fully to examine the inside of it. He
paused with a curious expression on
his face, and then spelled aloud,
flames. Now, do you mean to say
that that name was in the hat when
you found it?' he asked, turning to
the witness.
: SCI do"
did you see it there?''
II did"
"And this is the same hat?'

Now, my lord" said the lawyer,
turning to the judge, there's an end
Ito this case. There is no name what
ever: within this hat
