Mr.. Coleman's death he was on his
way to Jonesville, where he serves as
night watchman. Saw Harry Cole
man near Gilead church, when the
road forks. Harry was going to-
wards the Coleman home. This was
about 6 o'clock. Walking swiftly. I
was walking at moderate gait. 1
spoke and he spoke to me. About 40
yards below the fork I met Wilson
Tally, colored man. Tally was
walking slowly, with his head down.
I was in Jonesvile when the 7:O5
train, which was late, came through.
1 had been in Jonesville perhaps 10
minutes before train. Train stops at
oil mill crossing always.
Witness was at Coleman home bv
2 o'clock a. m, the morning after Mr..
Coleman was shot. About o'clock
Harry and I went to bed 1 spoke of
what a bad deed; Harry agreed. We
got up about 6 o'clock. Did not go
with others to look for tracks. Harry
asked me to stay at the house. When
Mr. Mabry came in and asked how
Mr.. Coleman was. He looked at the
injured man and said: "Boys, he
won't be alive but very few min
utes. Harry then said, Lets go
TO MRS. Cooks and get breakfast"
Harry seemed to have difficulty in
remembering meeting me the night
before.

tracked Harry. The dogs were car

1nt out in the woods and up a tree.

II Under cross examination the wit
ness testified: Harry was called out
of the house, when the dogs struck
his track, dogs went up towards the
shop Harry was about 15 yards from
me when we passed. Better roads
from Gilead to Jonesville, than from
Gilead to Coleman's, little better.
Something over a mile from Gilead
to Coleman house. Mr.. Mabry spoke
loud enough for all in the house that
had ears to hear, when he said:
"Boys, he won't be alive but a very
few minutes"
Sheriff FAINT was next called. Test
flied: Was called on the night of the
murder to the Coleman house. Took
Ed. Long with him to Coleman's.
Found Mr.. Ed. Littlejohn, two Ma
breys; and after a few minutes Har-
ry and the Cook boy came in. I
asked Harry if he had any idea as to
who did it. Did not know at first
that Harry was the old mans son.
When l did find out, 1 then talked
with him an hour. I got from him
that there had been difficulty be-
tween some negro girl and Miss Liz
zie. But Harry said: l don't believe
the negro would hurt hair of his
(the old man's) head. Harry asked
me all about the rural police. Harry
showed so little interest that for
good while / did not know he was the
old mans son.
Early in morning we went out.
Found tracks behind bush. Took
measure of it. Tracked the track to
the shop. At shop we saw other
tracks, coming and going; one of
these was same size as the one we
had tracked. We found a track at
the branch that measured same as
the track at the BUSH Same track
went on to the Cook house. We
measured the last track right at the
Cook house. l went for the dogs.
They got there on next morning.
Robbins came to me and said: I am
here with the dogs" / then took
charge of the dogs. We went down
to the branch where there were three
distinct tracks. They had been pre-
served undisturbed The three
tracks were used to put the dogs on
the track. They followed as we had
tracked at daylight. Dogs went in
front, we followed. 6-foot chain on
dogs We then vent out towards
Mabrey's. Dogs did not open, until
we struck the track from Cook to
Coleman house, and started up steps
to Coleman house. l wanted to give
the dogs fair test. sent the dogs
to the back of the house. got Har-
ry, who was standing on steps of the
house. / told Harry we wanted to

with the tracking party early next
norning-testified as to having seen
the shoe tracks behind the BUSH and
running to the shop-indentified
shoes brought into court as those of
Harry Coleman-said these shoes fit
the tracks perfectly, even the sim
denton in left sole Of shoe, the track
from the bush to the shop was ex-
actly like that which led up to Mrs.
Cooks house. / was perfectly fa-
miliar with Harry's track, having oc-
casion to meet each other on fishing
trips, also saw similar tracks going
back and forth in the road from the
Cook house to the Coleman house,
but no where else did we find any
fresh tracks, other than those lead
ing to Mrs. Cooks. We searched
around the piece of woods and found
no tracks-have seen Harry and his
father often together, they had little
to say to each other. On one soccas-s
ion when Harry had killed his dog,
he told me that his father. rebuked
him, he told him to shut his mouth
and go back in the house. Harry
went to bed, he and Mr.. Ed. Long
while his father was lying uncon-
scious. When the dogs were put af-
