EDWARD D, WORRELL.

15

& pony mare, a sorrel. “A man
¢laimed the horse as stolen,” (ob-
jected to and excluded
Cover). I identify Bruff, who
is now brought in.

Cross-eramined. Never saw
Worrell before that day. Saw
him soon after his arrest in St.
Louis jail in a cell. Two eells
were pointed out as containing
them, but not diseriminated.
Have seen him about four times
sinee I first aaw him, I went to
his cell about three times. Went
to see him about the pony. The
firet time I saw him at my house.
He hallowed to me to sell me the
horse, and on my not agreeing
he rode on, bat in fifteen minutes
they all came back, and I bought
the horse and paid him. He
Tooked like » vey genteel man,
He had whiskers, by which I
mean beard on the face. Think
he had mustache; don’t recollect.
His beard was long. When I saw
him in the cell, he had been
shaved, and he had a small beard
which had not grown very long.
‘When I traded with him, b noticed
him particularly, as I do every
man I trade with. Knew Gordon.
Not positive what sort of horse
he or either of them rode.

Re-ezamined, There is no
doubt in my mind that the pris-
over is the one who sold me the

pony. Saw nothing wrong with
him; he appeared rational and
abrewd in a trade.

The reason of my certainty
is that I know him, by his fea-
tures, and also by conversations
between him and me of things
nobedy else knew. Memory,
therefore, helps it, independent
of which I think I would reeog-
nize him, but that strengthens it.

George T. Camp. Saw pris-
over af Warrenton on the eve-

ning of January 24, 1856, Ha
was in company with Gordon,
and & man have since heard calle
Braff, Was standing in the up-
per part of town talking, and
saw three men riding up, one of
whom I reeognized as Gordon.
He stopped and chatted with me
about ten minutes. Urged him to
stay all night, but he desired to
go on to Mr, Hutchinson's, to
inake his ride easier next day.
Identify Bruff.

Cross-ecamined, Both Worrell
and Broff attracted my particu-
Jar attention beeause I thought
they might be new contractors
or engineers on the road. Ams
eontractor for ties to the Rail-
road.

Wilson Hutchinson. Live four
miles east of Warrenton, on the
Boonslick road. Am a farmer
and entertain travelers, The first
time I saw defendant was in Jan-
vary, 1856, at my house. He
eame there January 24th, about
dark, and he and a man then
ealled Gordon, end a man then
called Bruff, remained there sll
night. Identify Braff as the same
man, and Worrell as the same
man who were that night at my
house. TI have since seen them
in St. Louis jail. They left my
house between seven and eight
o’elock uext morning. They all
came together, and went together
eastward on the 25th. After they
had come in that night, Worrell
took out a pistol and loaded it.

January 22.

Wilson Hutchinson, There was

a right smart but not a great
deal of snow on January 25th.
Tt was still snowing and quite
cold, Next time, after Gordon
left my house, that I saw Gordon,
was when the body was found in
the gully, and the snow taken off
