he took part in or knew anything OF
the purchase of the shotgun by his

supposed to have said to Paul: II

which he nervously rubbed his face,
the prisoner rested his head on one
hand and half reclining in the arm
chair, faced the jlry. His answers
were quick and decisive and he show
ed an apt memory in relating the de-
tails of the manner in which the al
legged highwayman approached his ma
chine, and intending to shoot at the
laccused, murdered his wife, who sat
beside him. .s
It was the same story, identical even
in its phraseology with that which
the accused told to the coroner's jury.
although he admitted more OF his re-
lations with Beulah Binford, following
the course of the defense throughout
the trial in pointing her out as dis
reputable girl for whom the prisoner
