right to look to the building. But if they sold the brick -with the intention of collecting from Mr. Blood they have no claim against it. At the time these brick were purchased, which Mr. Asherman and Mr. Gregg sold to Mr. Blood, before my contract was let tor the building of the house—some six weeks before—I did not know,of my own knowledge, whether the bricks were bought separately or not. I had a conversation with Mr. Hendricks before this action was begun and I stated that it was my impression that he was interested in this prosecution. have had a conversation with him this morning, and I think it but justice to him to state tha\ I don't think he intended any threats, but he came in a friendly manner. If it becomes necessary I shall prove my reasons for thinking so. I hope, however, that it will not he necessary. I say this in justice to Mr Hendricks. Witness exc ised.

GKO. HAMILTON

I atn a carpenter and builder I built ahousefor Mr Knox last year on Sixth and College streets. Bought the first material on the ist day of July. Got the contract sometime before that. Mr. Blood was a sub-contractor lie was to furnish the brick and build the house, I met Mr Blood on the street at onetime and told him I wanted to purchase the brick myself. I next saw Mr. Marines ard told him I wanted about one hundred thousand bricks to erect a house for Mr. Knox. I saw Mr. Blood again next day and told him I wanted to turnish my own brick. He replied that he had already bought brick. I think he said a kiln I am not positive, however. This was about the last of June, I had a conversation with Messrs. Gregg and Asherman in regard to these brick, as to who they sold the brick to and to whom they were to look to for pay. That was after the building had been commenced. Mr. Asherman came to me

Mr. Blood was not there. I said "Mr. Asherman who do you want to pay you for these brick it you want me to pay for them say so, aud if you want to get the mohev from Blood say so."

Said he" will get my money from Blood." I had another conversation with him at the corner of Sixth and Main streets about the same in substance. He said he would get the money from Blood. I don't know how much Blood owed Asherman.

I gave Asherman an order on Knox by Blood's consent. He had been there twicc or three times to see Blood and he was never there, and wanted me t» give him ar» order on Blood. Towards the last after he could not get money out of Blood he came to me and says he "I want my money." I told him if he had given me notice that he wanted me to pay the moil ey I would have paid it. lie said he could not get his money out of Blood. I told him 1 would give him an order for $450, 011

Mr. Knox for that amount

Here the witness was shown and recognized the order. I have not received all the money from Mr. Knox. I don't know whether he owes me or not. I have traded Mr. Knox' note oft". But of course he still has to pay it. There is a dispute ©f about seventy-five dollars.

The building cost about

This witness testified that he had ne^ gotiated a loan for Mr. Knox last December. Paid him one thousand dollars on the first of December and $1,500 about the first of January. There was a balance remaining due. But meantime this mechanic's lien had been filed and the payment thereof had been deferred till it should be settled by the court. This was not done however and Mr. Knox gave the witness a bond that if judgment was rendered upon the lien it would be paid. The balance "of the money was therefore given to Mr. Knox. The mortgage was tor

$3,500

HARMON BI.OOD,

Recalled. I purchased the brick from Gregg & Asherman with which Mr. Knox's house was built. I expected to pay for them or make the job pay for them.

MR, HAMILTON.

Now Mr. Hamilton state if you

were employed by Mr. Blood to build this house for Mr. Knox and when did you receive the first pay for the house.

A. Do you mean our money. Kelle^ Yes. A. I think the fir«t payment I received. that is, as far as payment is concerned, was twenty dollars in groceries. I had two notes on Mr. Knox. The amount of the first note was $377-66%, given on part payment for building the house. The amount of the other was $130. I received some money. I received $Soo.

R. s. STROUT.

1 never gave Mr. Knox consent to insert his wife's name in-the deed. The first deed that was executed was the one intendtd to be final. I had a con versation with Mr. Knox in regard The new contract was made in Mr. Knox toft new deed. After the trade had been closed he mentioned two or three times that he wanted a new deed. I repliied "ALL RIGHT."

He never told what kind of a new deed but I expected he wanted one with his wife's name in it, but 1 don't think he ever said so. lie may have, however. He merely suggested that he wanted another ileed. 1 said "all right," as soon as the matter is settled up." I had promised Mr. Royse not to make a new deed till a completejsettlement had been made office

about

the middle of March. I had

several conversations about the new deed. Cannot say when the iirst one was I think it was about the first of April. He never told me why he wanted a new deed. I never delivered the old deed but it was delivered to Mr. Royse. The deed was substantially in his (Knoxs) possession, I mean he had a right to it. I suppose that Mr Knox had the deed. It was several weeks after the trade had been closed that Mr. Knox asked me for the deed and this is the time I learn hedidn' have the old one. This conversation occured on the street. I met Mr. Knox on Ohio street once and he promised to settle up and said he wanted a.new deed and I said all right. Mr. Roys? had made me promise two or three times not to make a new deed because he woulid lose his

nor had never th night that Mr. Knox intended to swindle him and that Mr. Knox COULD HAVE REASONABLY SUPPOSED from his (Strout'6) conversation that he had his consent to change the deed.

This closed all the evidence. Col. McLean on the part of the defense stated that he was perfectly willing to submit th.: case without argument but Mr. Kelly insisted upon an argument and the pleading is now in progress. Mr. Knox has the sympathy of the entire bar who hope to see him honorable acquitted and completely vindicated be fore the public.

AFTERNOON.

Prosecutor A.J. Kelly delivered an elaborate speech wnich occupied near an hour and a half. lie reviewed the evidence carefully.

Col. W. E. McLean followed. He denounced the prosecution as a vindictive one and asserted that had not Buckner F. Royse desired to collect a claim of

$100,

$100.

Mr.

Strout ended by saying that he wanted to say to the jury that he had never said

there would have been no

suit. He said '.he fine Italian hand of two in three real estate agents, land sharks seen in the case.

He was astonished at the extraordinary character of Mr. Kelly's speech. He was proud of Mr, K. For six years he Kelly had been a student in his (McLain's office but he was at loss to know where he got the law he had used in his speech from. He certainly had not gotten it from him.

The Col. continued, relating a number of amusing anecdotes keeping the whole room in laughter. Mr. Buff followed then and Mr. Kelly is closing the argument for the State as we go to press.

THE FUNERAL SERVICES YESTERDAY A E N O O N E I SCHOOL ATTEND IN A BODY.

The tribute which hi? fellow pupils, with whom he was a favorite, paid to Otto Hulman, wan a touching one. The tragic heart breaking circumstances of his untimely taking oft" reached a tender place with them all. The High School attended the funeral in a body and was one of the largest that has ever been held in that part ot town. Rev. Martyn preached the funeral fiiscoursj at the house of the boys' parents. Otto was born in Charleston, Ills., and was

The most affecting was that after leaving the house to go home with the hired man on that bright Sunday morning he turned back when full a square away and kissed his mother good bye. He little knew that it was a last farewell.
