I havearound 30 acres of land.”The defendant asked the witness a question and the witness gave the followinganswer:“It is true that the defendant reported the pistol he found in the house andManojlović registered that.

I thinkhe is a young man and who carried and directed his patriotism in the properdirection.”No further questions.160
