THE TESTIMONY-TAKING
OCCUPIED LITTLE TIME.

tlon House at North Fork, of Which
Offence Sneider Pleaded Guilty'
Not Much Time Was Needed to Pre
I sent the Case, an There Were Dut
. Two Witnesses, and Argument
Were Short. ' . .
At 8:40 o'clock this afternoon
a verdict of guilty was returned
by the Jury In the case of Oeorge
Man, cnargeu wnn nuvuig par
ticipated In the robbing of the

when Sneider asked him to carry some
of the plunder toe refused, saying he
would have nothing to do with the
stuff. When srrested he hnd one of
the section men's guns In his pocket,
and this he says he accepted from
Sneider believing It wss his partner's
own property.
It was noon when the cross-exam
nation of Hall was finished and an
