Senator Edgar Witt of Waco, spon-

he hoped the senate would get to

The situation in the house was
not so rosy, however, since only one

Sheriff Testiflra
1 Sheriff Coley White, deputy sher-
iff for a time while Brady was coun-
ty attorney, was called by Brooks.
White said from observations he
believed Brady sane.
The prosecutor showed White a
long knife and had .him identify it
ah one the JBtler had turned over
to him.
“Mr. White, Judge Bradv has not
had any intoxicating liquor since
Nov. 1®?’* Moses asked.
“No.”
“Have you seen John Brady drunk
since Sept. 1, 1927 (the date of
White’s return to Austin)?"
“No. sir.”
White said that while he was run-
ning for office, “he (Brady) was
around with me some—Just talking
politics is about all. He has gone
with me several times ”
County Jailer C. A. Redding, look-
ing solemn like he has during all
this trial, got on the stand as his
chief left it.
He detailed his observations of
Brady and said he believed Brady
sane.
”X couldn’t say that judge," Red-
ding told Moses when the lawyer
asked l DL'MWb.":
BrookM took the knife—the one
he showed White—to Redding, and
the Jailer, after looking it over close-
ly and opening it, said it was “the
knife” brought over there (to the
jail) when Judge Brady was brought
there. 'Vi'” .
