It is at the German headquarters

d that Bob was in Texas, and

eloom.

II In this connection it will be re-
called that to d. G. Smith, of Holt,
Will Blackwell likewise declared this
same Tuesday that Bob was in the
Texas oil fields, and even denied Bob
when Smith pointed him out at the
water cooler on the train going to
Crestview that evening. Bob, by the
way, had at first denied his presence
IA Florida at all, but the defense yes
Eerday acknowledged that he actual
,fy did come to Crestview under cir
cumstances that appear so suspicious.
II The witness Martin acknowledged
isLhat he had received SIS, railroad
fare, and the guarantee of hotel ac-
commodations from the state before
he would come from Alabama to give
testimony. The defense stressed the
point that he was paid, the state
brought out the declaration that
Martin desired to be reimbursed for
the time lost in his business.
Strengthening Mrs. AtwelL.
Mrs. Eliza Atwell, at the coroner's
s,inquest, declared that Will, when he
got a lunch from her and went out
Il with his gun about 9 o'clock the
might of his return from Pensacola,
to which place he had gone that
. morning in response to the Cradle
Bartlett telegram-the same night
that Bob also came so secretly to
Crestview-Mrs. Atwell, to repeat,
had declared that Will said he was
going to her brother Chadlie Cox'd
place, on Shoal river, to hunt and
fish. This testimony he has since
repudiated, and Charlie Cox, put on
the stand, swore that Will had in eff
feet not been to his house that night.
Cox declared that in company with
Detective Moore, he had entered the
Atwell house, after Mrs. Atwell had
decided to tell what the state con-
siders is the truth, and found the
coat with the tellale smut on the col
lar, the same coat which the woman
says Will had told her to clean but
which she had simply hung up.
Grudge Against Will?
On the cross, defense insinuated
that Cox nourished a grudge against
Wall because of the alleged improper
relations existing between him and
the witness sister, Eliza Atwell.

r. A. McGeachy, state attorney
corroboated Cox's reason for going

The night before, he said, he had

wells voice resembles that of the

Mrs. Atwell declared yesterday
that she went into Babcock's room
as he relates, as part of her plan to
build up Wills alibi; sdapting to her
own ends the entrance Of a man in
quiring for lodging.
Another Mysterious Trio.
Mrs. Wilmer Mason, who lives
about a mile and a half south of
Crestview on the Camp Walton road
the road which leads towards the
Davis house-declares that at about
o'clock on the morning after the
murder, she saw three strangers
going in the direction of Crestview,
whom she described as follows: One
was tall, the other two low and
stout. Tall man wore light shirt and

had any guns. They were about so
PAGES away at the time. Thinks that
neither Bob nor Will were among the
trio. Last Monday, witness affirms

the prisoners.
Mrs. Mason also declared that a
day or so ago she was talking to Mrs
