saw Armstrong strike the man by the light
Of the moon. Lincoln cross-examined the
witness, got him to repeat his story, then,
according to the story produced an almanac
showing there was no moon on that night,
thus freeing Armstrong. Later it was
claimed Lincoln had the wrong almanac
and changed the date, but Mr.. Logan be-
fore his death denied this, saying he per-
sonally examined the almanac. The funeral
services win be held Sunday afternoon.
