Two em ployes and a traveling man, who waa uncertain as to the identification of the alleged purlolner of pie, testified to the truth of the foregoing Indict ment. The negro offered no testi mony and gave bond for his appear ance at court. Mr, Plummer Stewart represented him. Harvey Strong, a small mulatto negro, Irregularly employed at the Wadsworth stables, was held on testi mony going to show that he had hitched the stable's horses to I1I3 own conveyance repeatedly and used the horses for private uses.

The fore man of the mill was Invariably a, wit ness; a useful witness of the defense, He always testified that it was the 'fault of the fellow hurt.
