Mr. Johnston. From the officers—no, sir.

Mr. Hubert. You just made up a list of people?

Mr. Johnston. Yes; now some of these officers, of course, I have talked with in regard to this at the time the investigation was being made.

Mr. Hubert. Is this part of your function as a justice of the peace, to do this?

Mr. Johnston. Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert. Those are official records, I take it?

Mr. Johnston. Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert. How long did you say you talked to Ruby altogether on this occasion on the 22d?

Mr. Johnston. Three to five minutes.

Mr. Hubert. After that you didn’t see him any more?
