Cox.
Cox said he had arrested johnson on
Wednesday night and had not seen
him again until Friday morning. Then
he went to the jail. where the pris-

him to come inside, and he had
gone in.

At this point Attorney Harrison
interposed an objection that the foun-
dation for the confession had not been
laid. IF you had waited for the next
question" said Prosser, you would
have seen that we We're coming to
that"
It was brought out that Cox had
warned johnson that what he wanted
to say must be said of his own free

Harrison put in his question, and Sc
cured the fighting out of the confess
