-Oh, ! see," said Mr.. Shearn. "and

Was any pressure brought to bear
on you by the officers Of the Pullman
company to get you to testify in this
case? You know the Pullman cars are

The witness sa that he spoke to his
immediate superior about testifying. but
that no one in the company had asked
him to.

smelled. Mr. Shearp. objected to such
testimony and Mr.. Nicoll said hea tedly:
We might as we'll have it out right
here. l can't prove that anybody, WAS
constantly intoxicated. What l want
to show is the constant Use of spirits, and
at times to excess. and that her husband
objected to it,
Il won't waste any time with evidence
like this" said Justice Dowling, ..,
Danis managed TO say that once when
he was laying out a rustic bridge Mrs.
Gould came down and when he told her
he guessed it would be we'll 10 build the
bridge a certain way Mrs. Gould said
There's been too damn much guess
work about this place already 4.
Danis wound up his testimony by say
ing that never had he seen Mrs. Gould

The witness said he saw Mrs Gould
walk down the stairs and believed she was
/ intoxicated.
"lour brother Jacob made an affidavit
that Mrs. Gould wasn't into oxicated al

times on which certain happenings, oc-
