Porter told Us story.
A crowd consisting of Porter, De
tective Morgan, Iter. Gray and W. A.
Worstell, held a meeting In the hall
orer the Morning Star and Morgan
wanted the Xewlin drag store search
el' Porter said to the men that he did
not believe that Newlin was selling 11
qoor. Morgan asked to be searched.
Porter then continued:
"We went down stairs and Morgan
went ahead, Worstell and Gray behind
and myself on the opposite side
of the street to the rear of the drag
store. Mr. Morgan went In to New
Ifns and Worstell and Gray remained
on the outside. I was also watching
from the outside. Morgan was inside
five minutes and I saw him go to the
counter and Newlin went behind the
curtain and he came outside. Tie gave
Morgan a package. .Then all of the
four of uf went to the Baptist church
and into the study room and Morgan
was in my sight all tie time. We
searched Morgan and found two bot
tles of liquor, one of them wrapped
"Worstell. Morgan and I tasted it,
called It whiskey. We put the cork in
it and sealed It with paper and mark
ed it so that we could recognize it."
The bottle was exhibited at this time.

bad not lost sight of Morgan from the
time they left the hall until they got
to the drug store. Most of bis testi
mony was corroborative.
On cross-examination he explained
that Morgan was out of his sight two
times. Once when he went In to the
saloon and drug store and then again
Just before Morgan came out The wit
ness stepped from the rear of the
store to the front during the time that
Morgan was walking through. He
could not identify the, bottle because
it Is still wrapped. He (id be had
a cork mark on it, and when the
