MACK AND DICKERSON. &pectal Dispateh to The Tribune. JanesviLLe, Wis, Dee. 18,—In the Mack murder trial to-day the cross-examination of Joseph Wataic was_continued. The only thing of importance developed was that ho found the paper, sehich was araund the bottleof laudanum which be bought for Dickerson, In Dickerson's coat-pocket. o sald Dickerson, having teatf- fied at Beloft that he did uot have the lsudanum on his return home, he went to Dickerson's coat, Which hung In the barn, to look for the bottle, and fouud the weapping-paper, It was the samec cont Dickerson wore at Beloit, #Eugene Cannou saw mo take it out and put it back." William Taylor testifled that he was ot Mack’s house on the Bunday of the fnquest. ** [ reached the house about 9:80 o'clock; examined the ground between the house and barn, but saw nothing untit I reached the hog-wallow, where [ saw an fmprint, as though some bedy bad been impreased there. In going up-stalrs fo the housc I saw tracks on the stalrs, ns though made by some one who did not have any beots on. The tracks were as though they had been mud, but were dry when 1 saw them, There were tracks on four or five stops and @ track on the louding, Theso tracks led to Dickerson’s room, and one wns inside tho door. The tracks were round, 28 though made by o man’s heel. The track in the room was the same as those on the stafrs. Eugeno Cannon was with me, and we remarked on the tracks. Iexamined the wamuas worn by Mack to sce if thero was any mud on 1t gorresponding to that in the watlow. 8aw on the wamus the same kind of mud ss was in the wallow, and the same kind of mud was on Mack's oter clothes. Am famillar with horsca. Do not think a horse could made to back wupon the body of a man. Tho horse would not do such a thing. I saw Dickerson that day. I observed him par- ticularly, ¥o sccmed very nervous and excit- cd, and anxlous to hear all that was sald. The tracks on the stairs were made by the right and left foot alternntely." Eugene D, Cannon testifled: “1wasat Mack’s house the morning after the murder; traced the mud-tracks to Dickerson's roomj they ap- peared to be made by baro feet. Tho last day of June before the murder I patd Mack money. I pald him o 850 bill and an $80 check. In May, while Mack, Dickerson, and I were talking fn tho barn, I assked Mack it he was gotng to have money enough to pay his interest, and that ho ought to bo getting it togother.. . Mack sald ho thought so, and told me what money was coming to him, and asked mo to sct the namea down o8 he named them, 1 44d so. and he mentfoned 8127 that Gus Gates owed bim, and which was the money I pald him, 28 I told just now. IHe also mentioned 8850 ho was golng to get from Logan fn paymentof his note; alsosome money that Murphy owed him for barley; also somo money that his brother, Eugene Mack, owed lim, und this with his wheat and his Purlc footed up cnough to pay $i60 on the place. Dickerson heard atl this, and heard me tell Mack he had better be colleet- {og this money together. During the cxamina- tion at Beloft T found a pair of stockings in a luc-bush under Dickerson’s window, Thoy were white ones, and thers was mud on the foot of the stockinga. I havo these stockings with me now ‘The dirty stockings were then shown, They were badly sofled, the feet balng alinost black, Tho witness contloued: **There wos mud at tho barn that corresponded to the mud on these -lockln?. 1 threw tho stockings fnto the bug- gy aod took them to Belolt, ond gave them 1 Mr. Todd. 1 heard Dickerson testify at Be- lolt that these stockings belongod to himaelf,” Cross-examined—* 1 don"s thiuk a man golug outdoors tu hils stocking-feot would go #s decp fn the mud as the stockings show unicss ho was obliged to. The deepest track was about two 1nches acep, and appsreutly made by a stocking- foot, There was another track on the edge of the wallow which, I sbould say, was made by a boot or shoe, * Dickerson saw me pay Mack acheck the last of June, E.J. Carpenter and another man cxamiued Mack’s pocket-book, ‘bat, I believe, found no money.” Frank Dickerson wus ro-called: “8ince I have been in jail I never mot a man named W.
