MR. BRAYTON: July 9th, 1886.

It is proably rather more technical than material; but under the consideration and gravity of this case I think it my duty to make this statement. In my statement yesterday I said that all my information was based upon newspapers. I had forgotten at that time that I had seen also a circular that was a call for the Haymarket meeting. I consider it rather technical but still I consider it my duty to make that statement.

THE COURT: When he asked the question you had forgotten the fact that you had seen any such circular?

A Yes.

MR. BLACK: We do not think that will make a difference.

MR. GRINNELL: That is satisfactory to us.

Adjourned to 10. A. M
