 Substantially the testimony was repetition of that recorded at previous sessions-the colonel does touch IT, luor but so rarely and so lightly that he is, in the eyes of the sessions wit nesses, virtually teetotaler.
 Those who testified were:
 Andrew w. Abele, former railroad fireman of Ohio former Judge A.

 For that crime Diamond claimed to have received $S,000 from Montana vigilantes.
 Other murders assumed by him were two he claimed to have commit. ted near the Dalles in 1874, and that of a man named George Mitchell, killed in Oregon in 1883
 Innocent Man Hanged.
 For one of the former murders Dia- mOnd says a notorious Montana Ges- perado called Big Nose George" was hanged
 Residents of Plains, who have known Diamond for 20 years. say he has been inoffensive except when un- der the influence of liquor He is 67 years old and has but one eye
 He was talking with friends in a saloon when he was attacked with heart failure After he had been put to bed he called for pen and ink. He was too weak to write, and asked a friend to take down his statement.

 The record of the case will include his conduct in public offices all the way up to the White House his ap- pearance on public occasions and on travels aggregating many thousands or miles, and the seclusion of his private fife, scarcely without a break
 Cross-eXamination was alert to test the memory of witnesses and particu larly to make them show that there were real grounds for their declara, tions of the coionel's sobriety.
 The newspaper men were searched to show how intimate they had been with the plaintiff; the rough rider and the naturalist were asked how close their sleeping tents were to that of their chief, the lawyers trying to dis. cover if there had not been periods when witnesses could not have known whether the plaintiff was drinking.
 An instance was the cross-examina- ton of Heller. who had never seen the colonel take a drink or show signs of having taken any intoxicant
