BY Mr.. Collins:
@. I suppose if you had done It you
would have answered yes TO Mr.. Van

A. If / had I would probably have
done just what Sheriff Fields suggested.
@. Answer my question. If You had
done it you would have probably
answered yes to Mr.. Vandoren, would
you not?
A. would very probably have an.
swered no.
@. AS understood you, Mr. Campbell,
the first time that you became suspicious
of the fact that your story was not
going over, as you put 1t, was when you
talked to Sheriff Fields at the Court
House; is that correct?
A Yes, sir.
@. When was that, approximately
A. On July 4, feel sure, Mr.. Collins.
O. I believe it was on either June B
or June that YOU said YOU turned over
the gun?
A. Yes. sir.
@. 1t was either July or that you
realized that your story was not going
over; is that right?
@. And you Intercepted Sheriff
Fields in connection Herewith; Is
that right?
A. Yes.
@. What did you mean when you
told the jury that Immediately when
you turned the Barrere gun over YOU
knew that it had not gone overp
A. I said knew that the story had
not gone over I didn't know any sus-
picions had attached to me because tho
story had not been accepted.
@. Campbell, tell the jury where you
got the description of this man that you
Rave-the color of his hair, the wart
on his nose, the color of his eyes, the
color of his socks, the type of suit and
the shoes that you admired.
A. Mr.. Collins, that story was made
up just as rapidly as you just spoke
to me, out of my mind.
@. You made up your mind in your
Office to turn the gun over?
A. Yes.
Expected Another Story.
@. What else did you make UP your
mind to do at that point?
A. 1 was not in the Office ON that
occasion long enough to give it any
thought. I simply unlocked the door
and went in and picked up this paper
and when I opened the top drawer the
gun was in there and / picked up and
put 1t in my pocket

@. Did you have any thought as to
the type of story you we're going to get?
A. No, sir; II did not.
@. Did YOU have any thought that
the story you would get would be that
you produced the gun that killed Mary
Baker at that moment?
A. had no idea that the gun that
killed Mary Baker was the gun was
taking over-that the gun I was taking
over there to turn in would be said to
be the gun that killed Mary Baker.
