interrogations eliciting from the prisoner in in his several replies that physically he was a coward and always wa ys kept away from personal danger bu but t morally he lie was as bravo brave as RS a lion when lie thought tho the deity was back of him in his opinion the doctors killed the president the acts of jones Jone and sand mason in attempting to kill him were nver wrong and they ought ought to be punished unless they can show they wre were inspired by the deity the witness soon showed aligns of impatience and excitability striking bis Is open hand band upon the desk emphasizing every sentence uttered IN V hen pressed for answers he finally became ben me obstinate and shouted to judge porter I know you well and I know bigger men than you are ive seen you shake your finger at witnesses ix new york aud you cant scare in me and shortly after when ahkee if I lie le believed in the ten commandment commandments he lie responded in the affirmative when asked if he believed the co commandment man dment thou shall not kill 10 ou ought ht to read in hie his case thou ki kill il ho he became exceedingly violent and refused to discuss that matter at all there was no murder in
