Govertfor Johnson argued that the witness was a fellow con- spirator according to state proof, and that no accomplice’s testimony can be used against a co-conspirator un- less he be jointly indicted with the party on trial, and that indictment or so much as applied tothe witness, was dismissed at the discretion of the It was not for the prosecu- ot a conspiracy court. tion to say should be tried. The court, overruled the motion to expunge Liddil’s testimony. The detense noted an exception to the overruling. George Hall was called to the stand. Witness said he was station agent at Page City, Mo., and had been since May 1, 1881. The prosecution next asked regard- ing the reception of a sewing machine at his station about this time. The defense objected to his _testi- mony as irrelevent, of the shipment ot the machine was not fact to the cause at issue. The state contended the testimony was a link in the whole story. who without much THE SEWING MACHINE. Colonel Philips resumed the ar- gument tor the exclusion of the sew- ig machine, but his eloquence did not avail, for the objection was over- tuled. Witness, continuing, said the ma- chine came there it was addressed to a Mrs Woodson, and about that time, or a day or so betore, a lady calling herself Mrs. Woodson, arrived in Page City. She hada child, Wit- ness saw the lady in company with General Shelby, talking td him. Witness did not know where the ma- chine was sent to. The defense declined to question this witness. Daniel Bullard was the next wit- ness called. Witness 1s agent at In- dependence. In May, 1881, a sew- ing machine came to his station trom Page City, Mo. On referring to his books, the witness found that the machine was shipped on the 27th of April, and arrived on the 28th. It was receipted for by Mrs. Ralston. The defense objected to the sub- mission of the way-bill and books of the agent as irrelevant and incompe- tenttestimony. Overruled. Witness continuing said that the charges on the machine amounted to . $2.90 all told, while the charges from Page City were go cents. A short cross-examination was given this witness, but no point was developed or suppressed. THE RAY COUNTY RENDEZVOUS. J. T. Ford was next called. He stated he was the father of Boh and Charlie. Witness had hved several vears in Ray county. Witnes knew the defendant, and had met him at | Mrs Bolton’s on’ July ro, 1881. Mrs, Bolton is witness’ daughter, | and Bob and Charlie Ford lived with heron the Harbeson place. Wit- ness was introduced to detendant on that day under the name of Hall. On cross-examination, witness said | the Boltons, Charlie and Bob Ford had gone to hving on the Harbeson place in March, 1880. The examination was continued at gteat length, being conducted by | Mr. Glover. ‘The witness was not, however, stirred in the salient fact that he saw Frank there at that time under the name ot Hall, and that ado, | a material | had seen him several times; saw him | first im 1878.

IMPEACHING THE WITNESS. *‘Do you know J C Mason?”’ “Yes.-He is a neighbor of mine.’’ ‘Did you tell Mr. Mason, after Jesse ames was killed, at your house, that } rank was not in the winston or Blue Cut robberies, and not in the country, and had not been engaged | with the band for a long time?’ ‘No, sir.’’ The same question was asked in regardto a Mr. Rice, a neighbor of the witness and elicited the same answer. On re-examination witness said Frank wore Burnside whiskers when he saw him in 1881 at Mrs Bolton’s. On re-cross-examination, the wit-| — ness said Frank told him at that time he had not seen his mother for five | years. As may be seen from the forego- ing, Mr. Ford was mixed up on dates and in tact, proved a very easy wit- ness for the detense to confuse. witness understood that wood Hite’s body was found in April, 1882, near} Mrs. Bolton’s. witness knew none | ofthe particulars of wood Hite’s | death of crude interment. Did not know whether Dick Liddil killed him or not. ' ‘ACADEMY, Opens for its tall term on September 3d, 1883 For particulars address J. M. NAYLOR, or L. B. ALLISON. THE HORNS ANOTHER FORD.
