Mr.  BOYDEX.  We  wish  to  show  liow  many  there  wei-e
there  that  night — of  the  Kuklux.  I  think  that  there  has  been
only  one  witness  who  has  testified  that  iie  saw  Outlaw  that
night.
The  CHIEF  JUSTICE.     You  mny  proceed.
Q.  Go  on  and  state  what  you  saw  that  night?  A.  I  saw  a
party  ot  disguised  men  riding  thron,u!i  the  town.     The  first  I

saw  of  theiu  the}''  seemed  to  be  jnst  I'idiiig;  about  in  little  sqriacl&
of  five  or  six.
(}.  []5y  tlie   duel  Justice.]     Did   they  have  on  disguises  'i
A.  Yes,  sir,  tliey  were  all  disguised.     They  went  about  tlie
street,  and  in  aboat  fifteen  minutes  I  saw  or  heard  some  per
sons  screaming  in  the  direction  of  Wyatt  Outlaw's  house,  and
then  in  about  iifteen  minutes,  I  suppose,  I  heard  them  hollow
ing,  and  they  came  back  down  the  street  opposite  my  store  and
commenced  hollowing,  and  kept  u])  a  terrible  noise.     I  cannot
'  tell  what  they  said,  l)ut  it  was  growling,  moaning  and  hallow
ing  generally.     They  went  down  the  street  past  Mr.  Fonville's,
and  then  they  passed  Mr.  William  Long's,  out  in  the  direction
of  William  K.Albright's;  they  commenced  and  hallowed  at
Iiis  liouse.     I  could  heai-  them   coming  up  towards  the  eonrt-
house,  and  that  was  the  last  I  heard  of  them  until  they  went
off.
Q.  Can  you  state  any  estimate  of  ho\v  man}-  there  were  {  A.
When  I  first  saw  them  I  saw  two  or  three  squads  of  five  or
six,  I  suppose,  but  when  the  crowd  came  back  down  to  Mr.
Long's  I  could  not  pretend  to  say  how  many  tlujre  were,  but  I
suppose  about  forty  or  fifty,  just  guessing  at  it.
