LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


The court met at the usual hour.
The criminal calendar was continued
until Monday. the 10th inst.
The civil calendar was continued until
the oath inst.
The trial of Gleason was then re-
sumed, being the 18th day of the trial.
The recross. examination of J. Dugan
was proceeded with, of which the follow
ing is synopsis:
McGovern, at the time L first saw him,
was out may be 10 or II feet from the
sidewalk, rs near as I can Judge; he was
not halfway across the street.
Witness here indicates the position of
McGovern; the unknown man was lit
tie to McGoyern's right position marked
on the map). Witness next indicates on
the map McGovern' position after the
second shot that he heard, also that of
the unknown person. The witness was
then Intercepted as to his speed on
reaching the place where the difficulty
was going on and the position of the
parties engaged; also as to the time co.
cupied by defendant, McGovern and the
unknown man in changing their posi-
tions as to the progress of the struggle
between King and Ryan and their posi-
ton before and after falling. The wit
ness then gives an example of the posi-
ton of Mcdonald, Ryan and King,
when he first saw them, by placing him
self, Judge Pitzer and Mr.. Hunt in the
position he describes. The witness said
To the best of my judgement, they kept
that position as near as any men struggl-
ing as they were would at the time they
fell think Mcdonald had still hold OF
Ryan's pistol and right arm; did not
see that King was doing anything with
his left hand; Kings right hand was
across his breast, as near as l could
judge, with a pistol in it. apparently
working, or trying to work the pistol
as far as | seen, there was not any one
that had hold of King; Us far as saw ne
one had hold of King until they wen
down; believe I did pass several per
sons as l was going toward tn,
struggle; l suppose they were movin,
in a way that prevented me from
getting further back; when King 20
or was helped up, was within 8 to
feet more or less, of him; when Kin
jumped or was helped up, moved il
the direction of the door that he King
went into; when he came out I backe,
mp the sidewalk again two steps, perhap
more; King went into that door out 9
my sight; did not see Kings pistc
from the time that he fell to the side
walk until I saw pistol in his hand. a
he was coming out Of the store; when
saw King coming out OF the store with
pistol in his hand l was standing nea
the upper end of Lewis store about th
middle Of the sidewalk; when King e
or was helped up could see Kings LEG
~ and back part of him at that time; don
recollect whether I was looking towar
the store or,not, moved off that way wit
the crowd.
