Answer-When | went to wake him up l
put my hand on his left hip and shook him.

tied there on his body, and by the hard push
[ gave him it must have come through on to
my hand; that's the way think it was done.

the foot of the bed, like man puts them
WHEN HE GOES TO BED.

when you first discovered Hallen there?
Answer-No, for they were covered with
the blanket and also had a coat thrown over
them, and so remained until removed by the
Coroner am satisfied the quilt was put
over him after he was killed Beverage told
my hired man to go and take all the cooking
tools and the grub from Haller's cabin and
fetch it home, but as l had nothing to do [
went and did it myself; this was on the
morning after the corpse was taken away [
burned the things which | have mentioned,
and carried the rest to my house.
j. L. zUvER,
The next witness, testified that he is butcher,
in employ of Mr.. Odell, and purchased 506
sheep from Mr.. Beveridge last fall. He said:
When we picked them out Mr.. Beverage
said | could have any sheep in his flock that
was his, but that he sold no sheep only what
was his own. We found one or two that was
not his brand, and put them out over the
fence. | didn't take any not his brand. Hal
len was helping select while but he did not
select to suit, and L said | did not want him,
and he was sent away some where else.
H d. Meiss was next called Lives on an
an adjoining ranch to Mr.. Monsch, about
mile away; known Beveridge about ten or
twelve years. | was there when Zuver got
about 500 sheep from Beveridge last fall, and
helped pick them out. Nothing was said
about not getting any but Beveridge's sheep,
and did not look for any marks in selecting;
the only thing we were to do was to pick out
the best ones. Hallen did not pick out any
sheep only what the butcher and myself
pointed out to him. 1 heard nothing about
his being sent away, and he remained there
all the forenoon.
ISABELLE S. MoNSCH
Testified that she is the wife of Martin
Monsch and niece of defendant Beverage.
Her testimony corroborated that of her nus
bands in reference to the whereabouts and
movements of Beverage for several days
prior to the murder at that time She said
when Mr.. Beveridge returned Friday night
he said he had had a terrible walk; could
neither find Charlie nor the sheep, but after
wards found the sheep, but was afraid Charlie
was out sick upon the plains. She said:
asked if his blanket was there at the cabin,
and he said he thought it was on the bed
that he felt the foot OF the bed and thought
it was there. She said when he returned tie
next morning, after going to his cabin, he
said to his wife I have found him; he is
laying dead in the bed and L AIN afraid
something is wrong"
Her further testimony was mostly a re-
hearsal of that already given by other wit
nesses, as to the facts connected with the in
quest investigations She also described the
several guns and pistols owned at their house
by Mr. Beveridge and her husband, and the
places they are kept, and said none of them
were out Of the house about this time. She
would have known it if they had been, as she
was constantly in the room where they are
kept.

timouy, Francis Michen, U. S. Wilbur, Geo.
Mack, z. Bryding, George Taverner, j. f.
