back to bed after she drank the water. Wit
ness said no then seeing her aunt, who was
among the spectators, shake her head, said
yes.
Mr. Smith called the courts attention TO
the fact that the witness seemed to be getting
points from some one in the audience.
Mr.. Taggart said the witness was looking at
him.
Witness said she went over to Mrs. Hills
when she heard the threats made by Hamil-
ton, and told her about them. Stopped at the
house and talked to Jennie Thornton on the
steps, then went over to Mrs. Hills; staid
there about a minute. Here Mr.. Smith got
the witness sadly mixed up. First she testi-
fed to one thing and then to another.) After
the shooting Jennie Thornton was still on the
steps When witness went over TO Hills
aunt she told his aunt that some young men
were going TO shoot him, She went before
she heard the threats on the corner of Fourth
and n streets, before she went to the pump.
She went because she had heard the threats
on N street, when coming home with tho
Thorntons.
BY Juror Boston-Did the young mon
mention any ones name when they made the
threats2
The Witness-No, SIR
Mr.. Smith-Then why did you go to Hills
aunts instead of to somebody else's aunts2
Because of what occurred on Fifth and N
on light coat.
Police Lieut.. johnson testified that about
o'clock on the morning of Sept. 81, n man
camo to the station house and handed witness
pistol, saying he had shot man in sclfdc-
fense. He marked 1t and gave II to the SER
geant.
Property Clerk Donavin testified to roceiv.
ing the pistol from Lieut.. Johnson. IL was
in the same condition as when he received IL;
one chamber discharged. The pistol is
five barreled 32 caliber pistol of ancient
make).
Louis Keys, an elderly white man with a
German accent, testified. He lived at 400 n
street northwest Was sitting at his window
at the time OF the killing. Hamilton and
three other men came down N street and sat
down on Mrs. Whites porch. Hill came
around the corner aud Hamilton stepped from
behind tree box, and some words passed
between him and Hill, and he raised his
pistol and fired. Hill fell ON his face and
said, "oh Lord oh Lordw Witness ex-
planned the position of the parties when the
shooting occurred
Cross examined by Mr.. Smith. Witness
was positive he saw Frank Ross with Hamil-
ton and the other two men. He did not leave
Hamilton and the two men until after the
shooting. The four men sat on Mrs. Whites
steps about half an hour. Their presence
did not suggest anything wrong. Ross had
big brass horn. After the shooting two wo-
men went from Mrs Waits over to Hills
house. Could not tell who they were.
Think Lucy Hart was one of them. When
witness saw the four men como down
n street no women came along. Witness
was positive of this. Saw two women sitting
on Thornton's steps. One of them was Jennie
Thornton. George Hill was talking to an
other man on the corner before the shooting
Witness was positive of this. Hamilton
stepped from behind the second tree box. The
parties talked in q low tone. Hill was stand
ing near the gutter, and fell with his face to
the north. Did not hear anything that was
said before the shooting. The court here ad-
journed until 1890 this morning.
