 in the telephone office which Booth was running, when call went over the wire for the doctor, and shortly after this Booth asked the boy to stay in the office while he went to the doctors house for an hour or two Barron stated that he warned Booth against this, but that Booth showed him a gun and said if the doctor ever said anything to him about it he would kill him. Upon another occasion he told the boy that he nearly got caught.
 Just before Christmas the witness went to San Augustine where a county fair was in progress, and there saw Booth, who asked him to take a letter to Mrs. Wiggins and afterwards to take the woman to house known as that of Inez Mathis Rut the boy refused telling Booth he ought not to do that and he could not support woman who loved to dress as well as Mrs. Wig gins does. The answer to this from Booth was to the effect that Mrs. Wiggins was good looking and that he could take her to San Antonio she could support the two of them by her unlawful earnings.
 Upon returning f'om San Angus tine the boy told all this to the de- fendant. Then came the cross ex- animation. This was severe and the county attorney tried to make the hoy adimt that he was a disreputable character and that he stayed at the Booth home because of fondness for the woman in the case This the boy denied. However he admitted he was being paid for his testimony by a lodge in Joaquin.
 In the afternoon he added little to his story, although he admitted he had gone to the sheriff and ask ed for protection because he was afraid of harm. He denied that he lad iourneyed ouA here to testify because he had been told that the defendant would get ont of this trou- ble and would go back to Texas and kill the boy for following the same sort of course the deceased is all lcged to have done
 Reilly Hanson was the next wit ness. but he was unwilling to tell very much. However in this con- nection, the defendants counsel ask cd him if he had not been threat cned with harm if he testified in tie case. and an objection was made and sustained. Several questions along the same line were asked. all Of which were objected to and ex- cluded from the evidence NIT. Ling asked if he had not made such and such statements in the office of the attorney, but this was also objected to. Then the witness was excused.
 He was followed by D. l.. Hughes, ol Tempe, who testified to hearing Tap Booth make threats against an unknown man in Hughes house in Tempe However the witness admit ted he had been tried some five or SIX times recently by the county at torney. He denied that he had gone to the Booths and said that Ling was trying to get him to testify to something that he knew nothing about.
 W. A. Turpin. justice of the peace for the Jouaquin precinct of Shelby county. was next on the stand ana testified that the defendants repIlta- ton for truth and veracity and peace and nuietude was good. He admitted also his expenses were being paid Here the defense rested and the crowds began leaving as the comely- little woman who has been sitting beside the defendant throughout the trial did not take the stand.
 Then the rebuttaI began with Deputy Sheriff Howe. of Cochise county, and the question of what Virgins said when he gave himself up was asked. Objection was made to this and the evidence was order ed read over to see what the witness had said at his previous examina- ton However this took so rnuch tune that an adjournment was taken until this morning
