Rvlduro That Was talked About While^Watting far Mconc*.
I'ponthe court being called to order^Judge Woolworth mforiucd the court^diat owing to the illness of Mr. Sconce^be coulil not be secured to appear before^the court, lb* staled that he intended to^show by Mr. Seonee that he was indicted^on a frivolous charge. This was ob^^jected to by Myers. The ohjection re-^- ill ted in a little controversy between^Sanders and Mv^-i*-. The court mier-^lered, stating that he knew of no rule^whit h prevented a witness lroni being re^^called. He staled that at any time be*^ea t* the dost* of the ease he w oiild allow^.my witness who bad appeared on the^s:and to Is* recalled,
Slyer*^I would call attention to the^fact that there is a petition on 111c in the^court, and of which the conn will take^judicial notice, sworn to by the pr^ sent^proponent, J. a. Davi^, in which he al-^i g *s iiuii his broth'r died leaving no^^.v.iI. And I would ask that the eourt ri-^inire the proponent |0 slate where he^i cured tin* will he now claim* was lett^^y the deceased. Mr. Myers argued the^mportauce ol ihe proponent suiting to^IbO court how he came in possession of^[DO will. He eileil cases to stn^w that no^^,died should tMf considered unless it is^^roven from what source the holder se^^cured it.
JudgeMellatton stated that the court is^ot concerned in the ease the proponents
make out or the ease the contestants
nakeout, that is a matter for the jury to^hc.de. Colonel lugersoll infoum-d the^otirt that he wished to prepare a state-
-ueiitin writing to be submitted, and^i*kcd that a recess be taken for halt an^.our. The court a-ked that, if possible,^dr. Sconce be on hand to take the wit*^MPOO stand at - o'clock, and recess was
...kento that hour.

Mr.Sconce, 1 have a piece ef paper^tssffO with your signature on, ami J want^O see if you recogu ze il.^ Here Mr.^Myers produced a legal document on^which WOO written two s guatures of Mr.^Seoiieo, which he asked the court to allow^.Mr. Sconce to examine. Colonel Sanders^entered an obj ction. Colonel lugersoll^aigued that the introduction of tlie paper^is lor the purpobc soli y of identifying^Sconce's signature.
Mr.Toole at SSOJM I.'hgth argued that^the paper containing the signature was^admissible for the purpose of proving the^biguaturo of the witness. Colonel San^^ders again addressed the couri, claiming^that at the present time the testimony to^he adduced by the introduction of the^paper was untimely, and protested against^die introduction of the biguatures until^the dclonso is made.
ColonelIugersob ^ 1 want to correct a^mistake made. We do not want to in tro^^unce the paper as evidence now. hut we^may do so in timu. Tim naper contains^one signature, perhaps two of^the witnesses, the alleged only^living witness of the will,^made in leUi, and we want htm to SSOjOO^^^MM his siauature.
