there was not the slightest sugges-
ton OF quarrel. They then went
into the front room of Hampton's
place, where at the suggestion of Bra
den they shot dice for S. per throw.
Braden won, and Owens said that he
told him that he did not want to play
any longer. Braden asked him to to
have drink, but he refused, while
Braden went on and had a bottle or
two of beer. They went together
down Blue Grass avenue over the
railroad. Braden left him at the Mid
die Tennessee R. R. station, and said
that he was going to Alexander's sta
BILE to get his horse. Owens said that
he himself went back to Forgey's sta
BILE to get his horse to go home. He
knocked on the door, woke up John
ny Cross, the night Waterman, and
got his horse. He called for Mike
Robinson, who was going home with
him. The latter was in the back of
the barn in surrey asleep. After
saddling and mounting the horse, they
rode up Broadway to Blue Grass ave-
nue., and then on to the square, where
they turned and went south past the
Frierson House. On the way they
passed Will Owen and gave the greet
ings of the evening with him. Owens
stated positively that the time was
between II and / o'clock.

George Owen, the defendant, who is
charged with numbering Bob Braden
at Mt. Pleasant on the night of Aug.

Owen appeared as cool and collect

instead of the highest on the calen-

a straightforward manner, without
confusion, and in such way that he
made an especially good witness.
How he will fare on cross examina-

is different matter, as he may go
all to pieces under the grilling that
he is sure to receive at their hands.
Led along by Gen. Garner, Owens
stated that he came to town with
Mike Robinson the morning of the
killing. They both rode the same
horse and went to the livery stable
of Walter Forgey. There they met
Braden, who suggested that they go
up into the loft and shoot craps for
awhile. This they did, and after it
was over, they spent most of the aft
