Q. The State has no title to that, land ? 



A. They claimed to have. 



Mr. Brown. — Mr. Chairman, I move we adjourn to Tuesday night 

 at half-past 7. 



Chairman Ryan.— Are you through with Mr. Turner? 



Mr. Adams. — Yes. 

 " Mr. Piebo. — Yes. 



Chairman Ryan. — We understood you to say you had some more 

 witnesses. 



Mr. Anibal. — Yes, we had, quite a number of witnesses we would
