Yes, sir, in and out.

Q

How many times were you in and out that evening?

A

Only once.

Q

Now you say you went into the saloon about one o’clock?

A

It might have been one or it might have been a little before, I could not say; I never looked at my watch to see what time I go into the place or nothing.

Q

You stayed about an hour or an hour and a half?

A

I should judge about that.

Q

Then you went out.

A

Yes, sir.

Q

Went over to one of the stores?

A

No, sir.

Q

Where did you go?

A

To the post office.

Q

To see if there was any mail?

A

Yes, sir.

Q

Then you ran back to the saloon?

A

Yes, sir.

Q

What time was it then when you got back to the saloon?

A

Well sir, I could not tell you what time it was; as I said before, I didn’t take my watch out and look.

Q

Was it three o’clock when you went back to the saloon?

A

It might have been and it might not.

Q

How long did you stay that time?

A

Well I could not tell you; I should judge an hour or an hour and a half.

Q

An hour or an hour and a half the second time?

A

Yes, sir.

Q

During that afternoon you might haves been in the saloon then three hours?

A

Well yes, maybe.  I go in and out there very frequently.

Q

Did you get any mail when you were there at the post office that you remember of?

A

Well now I don’t know whether - - if the judge says I shall answer the question I shall answer it and if he does not, I shall not.

THE JUSTICE:  If you can remember it, you may?

A

Yes, sir, I got the evening press.

Q

Did you see anything in the Evening Press about the murder at that time?

A

No, sir, I didn’t.

Q

Do you take the Evening Press?

A

I did.

Q

And did you get it the next day?

A

I did.

Q

Read about the murder?

A

Yes, sir.

Q

That is the first you heard of it wasn’t it?

A

No, sir.

Q

What did you do in the forenoon of the 23d of April?

A

Well I don’t know as I done anything in particular only I cut up some wood for the girls and carried it in and done my chores in the morning.

Q

You are positive you cut some wood?

A

It is not very likely I would sit in the house and let my

A

daughters go out and cut it, would I.

Q

You cut it every day did you?

A

Yes, sir, that is split wood, you can call it cutting or splitting just as you have a mind to.

Q

You did that most every day right along?

A

Yes, sir, most every day I would split up a big pile and it would last two or three days then I didn’t have to do it in stormy weather.

Q

You are positive you split wood that forenoon?

A

I am positive I split some wood that forenoon.
