very happy New Year yesterday, and l
hope everybody else did. l had lots OF

That takes them all in, 1 believe. They
expressed their opinion freely, and none

out dissent, expressed the opinion that l
will be acquitted"
Scoyille resumed the cross-ex animation
of DR.. Gray. Witness had not, in giving
his opinion on the direct examination,
thought that the prisoner was sane, taken
into account the evidence Of the prisoner
himself, but taking that element into con-
sideration his opinion would be the same,
that the prisoner is SAINT and was SAINT on
the I'd of July. The witness was asked if

man can't be insane unless his brain is do

were simply convenient terms which had
been invented to cover certain crimes.
"Insanity," said the witness, I" is never

The examination progressed with tedi-
GUS detail in the effort to extract m
thing favorable to the defense. Counsel
renewed the attack upon the witness again
and again, and each time was met with
evasive or qualified replies. Finally Sco-
vile, with some impotence, inquired
"Can you tell me, Doctor, how many di-
rect replies you have given me this MORN
ing?"
Witness-I don't know that I have given
you any. propose to answer precisely In
my own way, Mr.. Scoville. I am under
oath, and I intend to give all the informa-
ton In my possession, but I do not care to
bring personalities into it any more than
possible.

wounding Of several other people. About
10 o'clock in the morning the Mcdonald

volvers in one hand to get o watch from
his pocket, when the McDonalds sprang
upon him suddenly and disarmed him. In
the struggle Milton was shot In the hand.
His cries brought Murphy. another deputy
from the cage, but OIL entering the Gala
boose he was shot and instantly killed by
the prisoners; they then made o hole
through the floor to the room below, and
taking Milton with them began their es-
cape. A bloodhound watches the Jail, but

their flight in q northwesterly direction. |
By this time tie whole town was excited. |
The citizens gathered 200 strong and fol-

Milton behind them, and threatened to
shoot him dead If they were fred on.

one citizen deliberately took aim and fired,

and broke loose and ran. A general fu-
silade was now exchanged between the
and the escaping prisoners. The |
latter intrenched themselves in weeds and
among stumps, and a battle ragged for some
time. When the shooting ceased the three
McDonalds were dead. Milton was shot
three times, and an old man named Wood
wounded in the thigh. A waiter had
his leg shattered. Baldwin and Boone

captured. Graham was the scene Of q
terrible excitement during the bloody af-
fray.
