Trax further swore that Barnes ablint the same 'time entered his shanty after il and attempted to commit a detestable crime n his little son. a boy four or five years old • that attracted by the cries{ of his. so he entered the shanty andlcnocked Captain B. down with a board, bent and dragged . him out of the shanty, and found in the Captain's pocket his (the witness's) knife,, fork and spoon. Jo seph Trax corroborated the testimony of his father. Odell further proved that Barnes, in giving an account of the railroad- accident by which Mr. Reed Was injured, had stated that he took possession of Mr. Reed's• pocket book, and in the same conyersation had varied intis statements as to the amount of money it ' Contained. ' Upon this testimony Odell relied to prOve the truth of the char ges.. i ! Now mark how eotnilletely and over whelmiagly this testimony was met and overthrown ! The, Cominonwealth - called Mr. Bannon, the parttier of Trax in the i fieliMg busbies!, who swore that in March 1831,11 e introdliced to Trax a one-armed sol dier named Lemuel Edgar, who was thete off : rid on with them for a ._week or two, and covering the time of the oss of the coat ; and that Trax complained to him(Bannon) of Edgar's ab•t* of his boy.
