The court look ed at John with sadness: "I didn't think you'd misrepresent things to me, John," said he. Chief Irwin and Mr. Hilton himself remarked that John was a -hard-work- n an let you; git me. lane men mg negro and had a good character, 1 what he was wanted for. When! but the evidence waa damning and the l he waa accused of the muraer or n Thompson, he admitted that he t blm," but expressed surprise at i death. - He then volunteered to tell it all happened. .'e said that the dead negro had been i too intimate terms with the wife of a brother, Bph.; even wearing a ring Mr. Hlltdn asked where the wife was. and was told that ahe waa home In bed. John broke into the conversation with, "Ef yo don' b'lleve she's not hu't er bit, Jus' call her up on de telephone." John is a carriage driver and has a 'phone where he Uvea, But the court did not accept the suggestion. On the desk lay an oxidised sliver cap that goes on the butt end of a whip. It was to play an Important part In the case, as will appear. John's mother-in-law and sister-in-law testified that in a scuffle to prevent John from using the whip, the end of It was pulled off. After a short consultation with his at torney, John took the stand In his own behalf. He said he had gone home and found his wife away, instead of attend ing to the telephones for any calls that he might get. He drove by his mother-in-law's house and saw Emma sitting in the window. He called to her, but she didn't pay much attention to him, and finally he went Into the room where she was. "Why didn't you stay at home an ten' de 'phone?" was what he said he asked her. 'Twuin't ringln' ," was her reply. "Well, how com you dldn' stay an' see w'en would ring?" There was no satis factory reply, and. John says, he Just slapped her for her disobedience. "Did you curse her?" asked the court. "Xawsuh, I dldn' cuss her excep' to nill de w'ud dam onct. I dldn' hit her wld de whup nelder. Ef yo don' b'lleve lie yo can sen' out to de ca'lge an' see d.it de whup Is all right wid no marks on it." John was treading on danger ous ground here. Chief JrwJn sent an officer to get the whip.
