see any money change hands but the
barlreeper was behind the bar. The
four witnesses agreed upon the same
line of testimony, asserting that the

them but that they simply helped
themselves on their own invitation
Mr.. Waggoner was in the saloon al
the time and said he could not supply
their wants but walked over to the

Then he walked out and the four wit
nesses proceeded to follow his ex-
ample. After walking behind the
bar and taking a bottle apiece without
any protest from the "barkeep," they
fled up alongside the bar on the out
side and inveigled themselves into
thinking they were getting their
drinks in the regular fashion. They
were in this attitude when the patrol
men entered.
Testimony showed that none of the
four witnesses were in the habit OF
going TO Wlaggoner's saloon. Some
sort of telegraphic connection prob
ably directed them to the place, where
one can drink and not pay for the
