about the payment of the cook. I don't remember what questions I asked her at that time, I was her attorney. I didn't go down there to examine her; I went there to get her out. She and Campbell were in and out of the room during the time. Mr. Starnes and I sat on the outside part of the time. I don't know who was in the room and who was not while I was outside.

ALBERT McKNIGHT, sworn for the State in rebuttal.

This sideboard (defendant's exhibit 63) sets more this way than it was at the time I was there.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
