Afternoon Session. In the afternoon session James Tni-ery said that he had known the old man for a number of years, hen the witness returned from Iowa he told Colonel Snell that Dick had lots of friends at Fort Dodge, to which he replied: 'I told you so. You dont think that I would tell you a lie. do you? The longer you know him tne better you like him." Again, at Thornton's death, he had said: "Thornton has gone.

I have nothing to live for now." The colonel wanted Mr. Thiery to go to California and buy some cattle for him. as he said that they could be bought cheap. When the witness suggested to him that the freight would eat up the profit the old man exclaimed: "To with the freight-Again after the death of Sam Argo. Mr.

Snell asked Thiery if he would not take charge of his land for him and act as his agent. Mr. Thiery replied that he had not thought about it yet. but the old man cut in and said: "I won't give it to you any way, you are too good a friend of Dick's." At one time the witness had gone to Chicago with the colonel and when It came time to go to bed they went to their room and Mr. Snell removed from his hat a large roll of bills.

These he nut under his pillow. During the night he got out of bed and walked about the room muttering to himself. At breakfast time they went into a restaurant and because the waiter did not come as soon as the old man thought he should, he got up and left. He was taken back and then he ordered two chickens for his breakfast. The colonel ate all of one.

but the witness could not finish his. Accused Alderman of Robbery. At one time the colonel accused Alderman L. R. Forbes of stealing from him.

Mr. Forbes had bought some furniture of the people living at the Snell home and the colonel said the money was in one of the drawers. He finally was calmed and went away In a good humor. Peter A. Funden.

a native of Sweden, had known Snell for a number of years. At one time he offered Mr. Funden to take him out to the home place. Mr. Fundeii consented and they drove out there.

When they arrived the old man got out and walked into a small inclosure, went around it sev- i eral times muttering to- himself, and iinany came out and said: "I had woman over there, but I don't know where in the she is now." Then he had insulted the witness by saying that he would take his wife as security ior wie rent on a rarm. Other witnesses related similar instances in which they had based their opinion that Mr. Sneil was of unsound mind. Several experts are in Clinton to testify on the question of sanity. mew telephone Trunk Line.
