It I* believed that to-night's session will com plete the case, save for another private session th* court will probably hold In order lo arrive at a decision. At the lam session ihe accused was on the stand and had concluded his state ment. I—st night he again assumed the stand, and was subjected to s lergthy and close cross-examination by the Judge ad vocate. Carpi. Harris admitted that he had taken off his equipment a* the Re publican Rlues were about to depart for ■anilsvllle, and he placed it In the car, though no permission lo do *o hsd been granted him by the commanding officer. Corpl. Harris declared that he could recall no conversation cm the train after leaving Savannah with Lieut. J. M Drey er, In which Ihe hitter had warned him that h> had not started out In the right way and that hi* conduct should he mend ed. Lieut. Dreyer had testlfled that h* had administered this warning to Harris Relative to guard duty nt Louiavllle and his alleged lateness In reporting, the cor poral said he had been told at 12 o'clock by Lieut, Borthelmess that he wa* to re port at 2 for duty, and that he was at Ihe quarters from I,lb yntll a few minutes before 2 o'clock, when he hod gone up stair* and (sported. The corporal claimed that ll was on Wednesday, that he was arrested, and that II was about 4:8 o'cks-k I tie next after noon that he Jumped out of the wtn.tow In order to get something to eat, as he had had no other meal than breakfast In the meantime and was hungry. He de clared that he did not escape a second lime, despite the fact that It had been staled on the eland that he had been seen si aiding nn the corner talking to istiirs after hi* outer garments had been taken away from him, as a mean* of pre venting another escape. He asserted most positively that It wo* not the same day as that on which he wa* put under ar rest that he escaped from quarters Itesplt* the statement of several wit nesses to the contrary, th* corporal swore that he had not fallen out whi: th# com pany was on the way to th* depot In lavul*vll|e. but that ll was after the arri val at the station that he decamped. He did not. he said, swear In the Justice court when the attachment suit wa* tried, that ♦ ’apt. Wilson hat! marched th* comitny to the depot from ihe quarters. He h<l no permission to fall out at Ihe depot. The • and also repeated that he had not cursed l.leut. Barthelmeas. In answer to a question from Capt. Cann. the accused te|sealed that he had not been talking to ladies on the comer while minus his outer garment*, and expressed surprise that any one should have made such statement of him. Private Hanl • wa* swom. and hta tets nmony. In sutwlanc*. wa* that he had Istn arrested for cursing an officer; that he ha.l neologized to the officer and to f'apt.

No charges, he entd. had ever been prefer red ngnlns. him for his .-ondnet. With the examination of Private Hanley, the de fense reeled Its case. Fnpt. M Ed Wilson wax called lo the stand. He sold It wa* on Thursday thnt Fond. Harris was arrested In IsnilnvllV. saying thut h* might have slated In giv ing his ordinal testimony that it was on Wednesday, hut. If an. R was through having been confused |.y ths questions of the counsel for the accused. The raiualn testlfUd from memoranda that related to l*lnt* suggested to him while he listened io Ihe evidence that waa adduced by th* de fens*. The testimony given by Pay-member f'ampo* and Mr. Walker relative to con versations they had with him wa* false. Pup: Wilson wild, and It was only the re spect tnat he felt was due the court that prevented him applying a stronger term to their statement*. He had ma-le absc- Imely no statement to Pay-member f'am po*. he said, of purpose to buck and gog Harris. Here ('apt. Wilson began to make a Statement relative to Ihe trouble that had originated among some of the Rhies in a restaurant In lamlsvllle, wiving that the participants In the disorder had sought to make every poeslble amend; lhat some of them ha<t hern drunk; that they had apologised. almost on bended kier. ond that he had pern fit to accept the apologlea and pass over the offense Capt Cann demurred, claim ing that the witness had absolutely no right to bring tn a mutter of that sort, mentioning the names of witnesses that had been Introduced for the defense, and make statements about them that would be clearly prejudicial to their Interest*, lie sought, he declared, the protection of the court for the witnesses, as they were entitled to It. It was clearly through mal ice. he Stated, that the names of I'rlvaia Jernlgan anti other* were IntrodiK-tg) hv the witness In the vein In which he ha.l begun. To this. Capt. Wilson said he desired to say that Capt. Cann had taken advan tage of every opportunity to raise point* that he considered might militate against him. and that he had declared his Inten tion to Impeach his testimony. It wss by the evidence of Jernlgan and othera whom he might name, he thought, that counsel for the accused had expected to impeach his testimony, and It was to show to the court Just what the action* of these men had been. In order that a full understanding of the situation might he gained, that he wished to give the Information. Capt, Cann responded that he had not the slightest desire to see Innorent men suffer for any fault of his; that he had a perfect right to tmpearh Capt Wil son's testimony. If he could do so, anti that he was willing to stand the responsi bility hlnwelf. Th* court overruled Capt. Cann'a ohjer. tlon, and Capt. Wilson proceeded to tell how the men concerned In the difficulty had done their utmost, almost servilely, to right themselves with him. and with the company, and (hat he had determined to grant request, believing that they thoroughly regretted th* occurrence. A* to hi* alleged statement that Harris was a thief anil that he had been reduc ed to the position of cook In the Tennes see regiment, with which he served fot stealing. Capt. Wilson said he did not recall whether or not h hail made th* statement, hut that he hart heard the story of Harris’ alleged had conduct In th* command, and that he had retreated it. Harris. Capl. Wilson continued, had never come to him In loulsvllle and asked permission to remain over In that city, ■ hough It was clearly understood among them that such permission would have to be secured before sny of them could stay ov*r. H* also said that Harris had not fallen out at the depot, but Just a lit tle while after the command had left the quarter* that w*r* occupied by It in Lou lavtlle. Capt.
