corroborated by the two Rochelle boys,
who came along at just that time, and
Blair demonstrated to them at that time
just how the lamp was hung by wires
on the south switch, which caused the
wreck
Mrs. Blair, mother Of Louis, testified
that McCabe came to her house, tine
evening before the hearing at Burling-
ton and tried 10 get Louis TO state that
he (Louis) did not hang out the light
at the north switch, and gave her dol
lar and a half to pay the boys expenses
to Burlington.

the scene OF the wreck, on the Sunday
following, and that Mrs. McCahe fold
