new trial, and also asked the continuance of Prices trial until the next term of court. The continuance motion was grant, ed and Price was released on bail.
 While the question of Prices bond was heinz arranged by the lawyers and the court, 1, in company with William Boyd, the master of transportation, left the courtroom and walket out into the grounds in front of the courthouse. where we stood conversing for a few moments. l noticed a rather singular looking man wlo had been following almost con-, . tiisuously during the trial. He looked arout % years of age. was in his shirt sleeves, and was wearing a Texas hat with brim of extra width and no col- lar. He had the appear anee of being slightly under the influence of liquor.
 l had noticed the man so often that I had grown accustomed to looking for him. l suspected that he was crank and would bear watching. Now he came right mp to me and said
 "Furlong, know YOU. and I want to tell you that you will never convict John Price. and l am mighty glad that he is going out on a bond"
 Well it doesn't make any difference to me whether Price is ever convicted or not 1 answered. "I only did my duty in causing his arrest. The matter is now in the hands of the court, and whatever the court sees fit to do with Price will be satisfactory to me-.
 - was afraid that Price would stay in jail until the next term of court" answered the man. "Now that he Is going to be let out on bail I intend to kill him before that time comes. He shot my brother sometime ago in a very cowardly manner and without cause. My brother will die from the effect Of the wound before long, and I intend to kill his murderer
 in ,laa I 'I do not believe I would talk about what I intended to do, as you are liable to get into trouble" ].
 ''All right. I am just telling you this" answered the man, "and I don't intend to talk any more about it. I just want You all to know how feel about the matter."h
 I had feared that the man intended to make trouble for me. and was great ly relieved to learn that he had no grudge against me. As for his threat to kill Price, did not take it very seri- ously. When he had concluded these remarks he extended his hand to me.
 Watch out now, and remember what I have told you,' he said.
 About four or five weeks later, when Price was out on bail, he came out of his house early one morning and took his stand on a platform that extended from the rear of the building, where
 
 form stood about three feet above ground, and had a hollow space under it. While Price stood there man who was under the platform crawled from his place of concealment and shot him through the head, killing him instantly. man was subsequently, arrested fop the crime and tried, but acquitted.
 After the arrest of Knight and Price I returned to St. Louis, where reported the success of my undertaking to MT. Hoxie. When I entered MT. Hoxies of fee to make my report ex-Gov. John c. Brown then general solicitor of the Gould railway system, was in his of- flee, and he was invited to return there to listen to my report. When I had concluded MT. Hoxie turned to him and said:
 Governor this is a remarkable case. and the only case that I know of where a terrier has beaten a pack of blood- hounds on a man trail"
 I, being an Irishman, presume that was the terrier referred to.
