dence Saturday.
Almost the entire day was consumed in

over the admission of "a declaration of
an ALLEGED co-conspirator of Samuel that
he would continue his blockade distil-

Boyd excluded the testimony as too
vague and indefinite. The only other tes-
timony of interest was that of a Justice

titled that Samuel's reputation as an of
ficer was bad, and there were numbers
of Illicit dlstilleries in his neighborhood.
On cross-examination. explaining why, as
u magistrate, he had not issued warrants
for the blockaders, he said he could not
get them served. There was no constable
