EDWARD D, WORKELL. 19

back part of the head is more
fatal than in front. Suppose this
wound did not touch the spine,
which would produce death, but
judge from the description, it
severed a diverging nerve, which
would also produce death.

William H, Pace. Hava seen
the prisoner, on 24th of January
Jest, at James Jones’ first, in
Montgomery County, on Boons-
Tiek road, ten miles west of War-
renton, two other gentlemen with
him; did not know them. This
prisoner was one. They came in
to pay their bill to Mr. Jones.
The third man I did not notice
‘much. He seemed to be a tall,
slim, slender man. Saw them two
anda half miles from that place
on horseback, going east towards
St Louis, where T was going.
There were threes men. They
passed me. I stayed that night
at Warrenton. Next saw them
next morning at Hutchinson's,

One of the men came out of
the gate next morning as I passed
Mr. Hutehinson’s, and remarked
T bad got 8 very early start. Mr.
Harvey was with me. Saw ona
man appear to go towards the
stable, but I did not see any
horses ont. Again saw these men
about five miles from Hutehin-
son's. There were only two men,
aud they led a third horse.
Thought they were the same men.
They passed me. There was no
saddie on the led horse. Did not
pay any particular attention to
the horse. It was snowing very
fast. I afterwards again saw
them. 1 supposed they had stop-
ped upon the road. About five
miles after they first passed me,
they came up dgain about one-
half mile from Mr, Kerwin’s, and
I think Worrell said it was a
very unpleasant day.

Cross-ezamined. It commenced
snowing, the evening I left Mr.
Jones’, 24th January. Jones’ is
fourteen miles from Hatchin-
son's. Stayed all night at Mr.
Glenn’s, a tavern formerly oecu-
pied by Mr. Harper, about four
miles west of Hutchinson's.
Jones’ is ten miles from War-
renton. Breakfasted before T
left Glenn’s, My companion was
Ford Harvey. We traveled in 2
two-horse wagon. One of these
men, don’t know which (I was
in the wagon and only saw the
glimpse of him), spoke to me
as we passed Hutchinson's. About
five miles below Hutchinson’s we
were overtaken by them on horse-
back, leading a horse, Five miles
below there they overtake us
again, Mr. Worrell, I think, said
it was a bad day. It enowed tol-
erably fast all that day. Did not
nities the horse the man_ was
riding who spoke to me. I did
not then see them afterwards;
but have sinee—in September—
seen him in jail, We did not
speak to each other. Went to
tho jail with Mr. Harvey, Fer-
guson (witness) and the sheriff,

Ford Harvey. Have seen pris-
oner, January 24th, twelve
months ago. Saw him at Jones’,
on Boonslick road about ten or
twelve miles from Warrenton,
‘Mr. Pace was with me, and we
were going to St, Louis. Under-
stood the two men ‘with him then
were Gordon and Bruff, Next
time I saw him was on same day,
about two or three miles east of
Jones’ They were traveling on
horseback, Next morning saw
them again at Mr. Hutchinson's,
Did not see all at Hutchinson’s,
I saw one of them on the porch,
not far from the road, and the
other near the stable, Mr. Pace
