Lynch, charged with cruelty to a bull, was re- sumed Friday morning at 10.15. Capt. E. H. Richmond, the first witness, tes- tified to arresting Lynch on a warrant on July 10th and to the best of his recollection Mr. Lynch wat at the time| in a hayfield. Deputy Judge James A. Shea was then called and he said that he had gone to Windham with the captain when the arrest was made to take a bond. Stated. that Mr. Lynch was working in the hayfield at the time which was a little after 6 at night. This concluded tha evidence for the defense. Acting State's Attorney Bug- bee desired to call Miss Mary Lynch for further cross examinatiom, but it was found that she was not in atten- dance and court stated that he thought tne court should not be delayed for two hours to get the witness. Mrs, Lynch was then called and said that her daughter was not in Three Rivers In 1908, but there in 1907.

Hor- ace Rood on being recalled said that Lynch alone at the time and that there were two bulls in the herd and both were black and white. He also corroborated his brother’s statement relative to their being no apple trees to obstruct the view of the affair as it took place. John A. Webster of Windham said that the Roods had two bulls, but that he_had only seen one. Mrs. Mamie Milligan testified that she worked for the Roods and had seen the bull affray. She stoutl- denled that Mrs. Lynch and her daughters were present when the affair occurred. On cross examination said that she had kept house for the Roods for two years.
