Talked Over Case,

"When was the last time you talked
over this ease?''
Last Sunday morning with Mr.. Meeks
in his Office
How many times in all have you talk
ed to Mr.. Meelxs 2"
Never more than about three times"
you finally got so you were pretty
sure what you said?''
Counsel for the defense was Directing
strenuously to these questions, but Gar
ner forced the issue.
II was always sure
did you tell it the second time as you
did the first?''
We'll, maybe I added some little de-
tails that forgot the first time
You were subpoenaed when?"

was when he saw Senator Carmack test
ing the cylinder of his revolver; where
he was when he heard the shots fired
and where Carmack and the others stood
when he took that one look over his
shoulder.
Did you speak to the negro?"
HE asked me what ii was and l said,
Senator Carmack must be in some shoot
ing trouble over woman I saw a
woman there. The negro said he did not
know any one. l walked on, missed the
man I wanted to see at the capitol and
went home"
''You never inquired who was shot,
who was hurt or who the woman at the
shooting was?'
mo, sir did not know until the next
day when my daughter read it."
The state desisted after a few more
questions as to the location of the prin-
cipals. 1t was nearly p. m. then, so
Judge Hart ordered court adjourned until

was held upon Senator Carmack's body
after the tragedy. Two physicians

the range of the bullets was at
