drew from Wingate the positive state
nlent that he would absolutely refuse
to accept Orchards story. Judge
Wood sustained the states challenge
and the defense took an exception
Half an hour later A. p. Burns, who
was temporarily passed by both sides
as the eleventh talesman. said that he
too, would be unable to give to ths
testimony OF Harry Orchard the same
credence that he would give to tht
testimony Of other witnesses. The
indication OF this feeling led the state
to cover the point in the subsequent
examination Of all talesmen.
