Bought It for a Special Purpose.
DrLBaggiit, being duly sworn,
?avj;
f know the defendant Neill .Haves;
I live in Mt Tabor; I have frequent-1
ed Hives' barbershop; I have seen
a pistol there; the same class of pisto.
like the one shown me here. I
don't remember the last time 1 saw
it there; have seen it there 3 cr 4
times; do not remember any partic!ar
dates. I have one like it only a
smaller calibre. I do not remember
laving a conversation about this partir?nl
\r niatftl* we were talking of a
pist )1 similar to this one shown me
10re owned by him; it was in the
oarbcr shop; I don't, remember when
this was; it was some time during
ihe Christmas holidays, Hs did not
state any reason except that he
bought it for a special purpose; the
purpose was that some fellows were
trying to do him dirt at Lorisand lu%
had bought it from a drummer and
iad it eh;pped to him by express to
Loris. He spoke to me about that
(rummer; this drummer had come
iato hu shop and spoke to him iu a
jovial conversation; asked him if he
b id ever got his j?un and if the gun
had answered. Niell moved to Taoor
some time last full or early winter
before Christmas.
D C Fussell, being duly sworn
says:
I know the defendant, N M H yes;
nave know him three or four years;
have done business with him; 1 h ve
'onp a little banking bu iuoss with
him; ha\e ofiea seen him write;
have often ^en him Mg.j Lis signature
and t ink I can recogn z; his

his signature well enough to swear
to it. D C Fussell.
