ehase him, and did not try to buy
the sorrel horse.

Hartwell Richards. Have seen
prisoner near corner of Broad-
way and Mullanphy street, St.
Louis. Kept boarding honse.
About January 25th, 1856, Wor-
rell came to my honse, between
11 and 12 o'clock, and stayed un~
til Sunday. He stayed about one
day. There was another man
with him, named Bruff. The pris-
oner is that Worrell. Have seen
Bruff here. At my house, Bruff
went by the name of Charles
Strong, and Worrell by the name
of John Ross, Asked them their
names ‘when they went away, Did
not register their names, A
young man at my house did.
They bad three horses, one =
chestnut sorrel horse, the other
two bays. The sorrel horse had
a knot or rising about his throat.
One of the bays, I think, had
a blazed face. When they left
they went down Broadway. They
said they were going across the
river on the ico over to Illinois,
‘While at my house, W. was jo-
vial with several of my boarders.
They started to go to the theater
together, and returned between
11 and 12 o'clock, the usnal time
‘af people eoming home from
there,

Cross-examined. Then yt
public house on Broadway. Did
not do a great deal of business.
Had commodious stables. Tray-
elers stopped there, chiefly those
swho brought in horses and mules
to sell. Don't know whether the
large hotela in St. Louis have
stables. Never saw W. before he
eame to my house. I think W.
gave his name 2s John Ross.
Asked each their names at dif-
ferent times in the absence of
eseh other. W. showed no dis-

position for any concealment, He
was as public as anyone else.
Conversed a few words with him,
but held no particular conversa-
tion. There waa nothing pecu-
liar in his appearance. He was
jovial. Robart Williams went to
the theater with them, He was
boarding at my house, but has
since removed to Leavenworth
City. W., I think, wore two
watehea, I know he wore one,
He wore it conspicuously 20 you
could see. Broadway is one of
the most public streets in St
Louis. Noticed nothing peeuliar
about his face, whether a wound
or otherwise, He had much hair
on his face. Saw him in jail
after he came back and spoke to
him then. Recognized him. He
did not at first reeognize me, but
he did after I called his attention
to me by speaking to him. Be-
lieve he observed, he ought to
know me, but could not call my
name. I said nothing more to
him except to ask him, if he rec-
ollected when he stayed on Broad-
way, and probably told him m
name. He then said, “Now,
know you.”

Samuel H, Gould. Live at
‘Vineennes, Indiana, Have seen
‘Worrell and Braff at both Vin-
cennes and here. They were at
Vitteennes from 2nd to 6th of
February. Saw them every day.
B. not 30 long. They were at
my father’s house. Father and
I keep hotel there. They had
3 horses with them. One a sorrel
vather dark, one a dark bay, and
one # light bay. The sorrel waa
of fine appearance, and a horse
which would attract attention in
the streets. It had a bunch or
Inmp under its chin where the
carb would come. My father
bought him from Worrell, and
