 J.J J. Whiting --Reside in Winsted; sold Mfr Woodford pistol somstims in tho first part o July last; he dida't purchase it the first tims he came into tho store; was selling a good many pistols at that time; asked him to buy . pistol.
 A,C. 7Hompson.-Deputy Sheriff; had charg. of Woodford when he gave himself; couldn't swear positively that left Woodford with g man named Milliman; opinion is that did not; was acquainted with Milliman; when Woodford came there took him into Dr. Steele's office.
 By the Court-Left Woodford in tho hands o1 Lucius R. Lewis, alcne.
 As Lewis went out asked Mir Milliman to step in, and he did so; couldn't say positively whether went out and left Milliman alone with Woodford; when came back into the room Milliman was at the door,
 Cross Er'd.-When left the room left both Lewis and Milliman; Lewis was gone perhaps Q minutes; was no conversation in my hearing about being sad affair." Coe came into the office after had come out of the room; don't remember seeing Milliman go out.
 /. /. Whiting, recalled-Thinks the pistol lproduced in Court is tho same I sold Wood ford.
 Cro.s Er'd.-Thought it had been used.
 7. #. c. Giddings.-(One of the counsel for defence) examined: Soon after Tuttle's death. Mir. Hall and myself took this same gun, went down to Woodford's house, loaded the gun with eleven balls and fred it to about the locality where it was supposed the body had lain; fired at target, an inch board about the size of Q man, and the shot scattered II inches; target was elevated so as to come to about the elbow of man of ordinary height; was present at the measurement of the distance from the we'll room door to the place where tho body was supposed to lay; my impression is it was about 8 rods.- Gun was also fired some 6 feet north of front door and diagonally across the road about in line to where witnesses testified the hat was found; The shot there scattered four or five feet; haven't the precise distance, but it was s.little more than the length of the gun rod.
 Bythe urt-Don't know why the shot should scatter so much less in the yard than across the road; the same balls were used, and the same quantity of powder.
 
 Mr. Lucius Lewis stood over near where the boy says he stood when he heard the altercation and could hear without difficulty every word spoken; this was yesterday.
 Cross EI d.-I helped run these the balls that we used; my impression is they were lead; MT. Hall and myself were only present when the ex- perimets were made.
 Lucius R. Lewis. Was with MT. Giddinps over Tn the lot, can corroborate his statements stood within about 20 feet of the barn, east of the house, about the N w. corner; Giddings stood in the south door yard of the house. Cues tlons were asked and answered by both of us in voice slightly above 8 common conversation; think might have heard the noise if horse or wagon had been passing through
