Witness.—There must have been three, for I distinctly heard two of them run from the house, and at the same time I heard the foot of the third man in the house. Everything was quite still at the time, and I could have heard a mouse stir.

Mr. Corder.—Then it was before the two men ran from the house that you heard the struggle?

Witness.—It was when the two men returned to the house, that all was still.

Mr. Minshull.—How long was it before the two men returned?

Witness.—About a minute, I should think. I thought it had been a family quarrel, and that two of the party had gone to fetch the police.

Mr. Minshull.—Did you hear any female voices?

The witness replied in the negative, and added, that as soon as all was still, and finding that the noise was not in his own house, he went to sleep, and thought no more about the matter.

Mr. Minshull.—Should you know the voices of the men again?

Witness.—I cannot positively say that I could swear to the three voices.

Mr. Minshull.—Are you familiar with the voices of the prisoners, May, Bishop, and Williams?
