this defendant there at all? Well, sir: I say the man resembled him Well do you swear that you saw this man at that time don't that bailiff there resemble him seme, too? Yes, sir. Didn't you state to-day that you couldn't when you first came here that you couldn't tell which was Miller? Yes, sir; I stated that on the witness stand here. How can you tell this jury absolutely and positively which of these two men you saw there that day? No, sir; only from the way I was introduced to him. Well, If that man there had been introduced to yow by Hoisington as Miller you would swear that is the man, would yon? Yes. sir.

Now, when was the next time you saw George Hoisington after you saw him here at the jail, the time he introduced Miller to you?

I think I did. A that time? No, sir. When did you first mention It, when and where, and to whom? 1 can't say positively, but I think I mentioned it to man named Fry, down here at Midway postofflce. Was that when you wer3 coming up here? It was whan I was going back, I think.

When you went back from here? Yes sir; the time I was looking for Struble. It was either that time, or one time I was up north after a stolen animal and stopped there. I have been there twice 1 couldn't say which time it was. You knew all these facts that you have testified to now at the time Murray was convicted in September, you? Yes. sir.

Just as you have detailed them now? Yes, sir. All ot them? Yes, sir; not all of them. How? Not all of them, ne, sir. All that transpired before that I knew. Well, I say, all that transpired before that? Yes, sir.

Well all the facts in this case had transpired before that hadn't they Not all that I have answered on the stand haven't. Well what ones hadn't? I hadn't met Mr. Miller then.

1883? Yes, sir. And you knew all about them, the same as you do now? Yes, sir. Do you remember what time Murray was convicted At the beginning of the September term of court I couldn't tell you certain. Now it was in the month of Sept. '83? It was about the third day of our term of court.

Well you can look at that information (handing same to witness) and tell whether or not that is the Information on which he was convicted in Harvey county? I couldn't tell you, I never looked at the information on which he was convicted. Who was county attorney at that time Lathey? Lathey I think. Do you remember who verified the information in the case? No, sir; I do not. You didn't? No, sir. Was Mr.

Your recollection is that he was Yes, sir; the man pleaded guilty, I presume that is the indictment (information,) that is our district clerk's siffna-ture, I know that. In your descriptions that you sent out to the marshals and sheriffs, and which you say you don't know whether you sent one to the marshal of Abilene or not. did you describe that pony as a dark bay mare pony, or as a dark brown mare pony? My impression is I described it as. a dark brown pony I couldn say positively, it is a long time to keep a description in a man's head.
