light went our Of that mans life an

destroyer OF his happiness Think o
IL. Driven from the home he hai
paid for. by his wife and she left viii
the author Of all his troubles. NJ
God how awful!
From that time on we find 4
changed man. He became wretchedly
unhappy, he was morose and miser
able. No smile ever PLAYED upon his
his face from the day Of that killing
to the present time. He goes about
his work with indifference. At the
mines Harry Harlan tells him Spot
Long is talking( telling that Harry
s gave his wife only IS while they were
at his mothers house, What did
Spot Long have against Harry? Not
a thing and yet Spot Long says he
will shoot the Granberys down as fast
as they come around the corner.
Where was the threat in this record ?"
Mr.. Stokes here read at length from
the testimony of Harry Harlan to
show that Washington was not taken
to Columbia in order to pump him.
Commenting on this evidence he said:
what about this trip? This innocent
little boy of nineteen coming up here
talking all the time about fast women.
This innocent little boy then goes to
a bad house and makes his boasts and
brags But this is not ALL On the
way home he swaggers and boasts
about what he has done. There may
be some conflict in the testimony, but
these statements stand here in this
record. Is this not enough. Long
says that his mother came near
them once. Certainly this
IS enough.
Il would rather have Rob Cranberry
or my brother than any man l ever
heard of. Harry had no father, but
lear old Rob will be his father. This
brother told Harry the first time of
he employment of this detective.
Harry didn't have any detective to
york up evidence against his wife. /
yes he did go to his aunt Matt. May ]
e she was private detective. Har- t
Y told her to go find out what she
ould and Mrs. Long tells aunt Matt g
hat she caught Katie May sitting in i
lap. Great Heavens! 6
married woman sitting In another 4
ANS lap What more was neces- t
Try? And then Mrs. Long tells Il
atie May of it and she faints. Mrs. D
ong then told Katie May she must t
ave, but Katie May replied, mot p
wv, it would hurt my father" ii
Mr. Stokes then went into the evil e.
nee of DR.. Lenehan, who told Gran k
Try he knew some very damaging
ings, but not one word did the State tt
k him what he meant by this. They m
not dare to do it. Going back to
ISIS Matt Dobbins' evidence the di
eaker told of what that witness said al
IS. Long had told her. He spoke bs
ustically of the book Three an
eeks" and of the awful results Of WI
q being pictured by the mind Of re
MUS. Mrs. Long says she selected sa
books that Katie May read, but ele
speaker knew that she never Sc or;
ted this one. How did they get it? a
Washington Long got it~for her.
Harry" he said, wanted to get VIII
wife away from Washington Long, en-
she would not go. Some one else IT
1ted to get her away. After the cas-
aration her father saw the advis- law
lily of her leaving Mt. Pleasant, but the
