1t is learned this morning that Handy, |
the juror suspected of being a sporting |
character, is respectable resident of the |
city and engaged in business here. Mr.. |
Storrs, one of the counsel for the defense,
states he anticipates the trial will conclude
by Thursday next.
+. A. Smith, law student, was in the
TIvoli at the time of the tragedy. Saw
Dunn enter, raise his hand, and fire pis-
toll. In all, he heard seven or eight shots.
His testimony corroborated the two pre-
ceeding witnesses in the main essentials.
5. M. Whitman was sitting at the south
side of the table looking east. He saw Ell
lott and Plaisted come in and sit at the
first table south of him; Langdon, the pro-
prletor, came in and conversed with them.
Witness saw Jere Dunn come in; he
walked rapidly down the passage way, and
when near the stove drew a revolver, adj
yanced step, took aim at Elliott, who was
leaning back in his chair and fired two
shots. Il should say" said the wit
ness, he took deliberate AIM
Witness saw Elliott raise his chair and
then tried to escape from the room. He
heard four more shots fired, and when he
next saw Elliott he was lying on the floor,
and Dunn was standing near the cashiers
desk. Dunn referred to Elliott with an
oath, and remarked, IL have got it down
on him now"
Addison Davis, a colored waiter at the
Tivoli, saw Dunn enter the place, heard
the shot fired, turned around, and saw
Elliott rise from his chair. Dunn then fired
two shots and then reiterated to the rear
room. The men then grappled, and when
| they arose from the floor both had re-
| volvers.
William Langdop, otherwise known as
| appetite Bill" had conscientious scruples
about being sworn, and affirmed TO his
| testimony. He said he was owner of the
| Tivoli, and knew both Dunn and Elliott.
Had conversation with Dunn Feb. 1, in
regard to Elliott, when Dunn said Elliott
was coward and afraid to meet Sullivan.
Dunn also called Elliott a cur and used like
terms. In subsequent conversation Dunn
said: eff ever meet Elliott again, will
cook him. This was the day after Dunn
had kept out of Clayton's saloon for fear
of Elliott. Witness told Dunn Elliott was
a powerful man and dangerous to
fight with. Its no matter" said Dunn,
che is near sighted, and if he gets ball
in his belly he will run like dog. l have
got the best of it." Witness was in a
|
where Elliott was sitting on the night of
the tragedy. The witness heard pistol
shots, and when he opened the door saw
| Dunn retreating and Elliott advancing to-
ward him. There was nothing in Elliotts
hands. When witness got into the front
room Elliott was lying on the floor, and
officers had arrested Dunn.
BY agreement of counsel, the court will
| od ot ~ of
until Monday.
Charles L. Davis, who was Elliott's man
ager in his western trip, swore that the re-
turn from Omaha was against his protest
and because Elliott said it should not be
claimed he left Chicago to get away from
Dunn. On arriving home he Immediately
notified the chief of police to prevent
trouble, and also sent word to Dunn to
avoid Elliott. He acknowledged stating
that the dead man had come back
to cut his enemy to pieces. Officer Cough
lin identified Two 80 caliber six-shooters, 6
Colt and Smith & Wesson, as those taken
from the two fighters.
Edward Thomas, gunsmith, was called
and stated that Elliott left SO Smith &
Wesson revolver at his place to be put il
order, on the day of his death, and that he
! called for it that afternoon, but was quite
} positive the one produced was not the
weapon. The state then rested its case.
f The first witness for the defense was De
T tective Bill Pinkerton, who testified to
warning Elliott to keep out of trouble
with Dunn, but was told by the former
that he was back to drive Dunn out
of town; that he had scared him ou
of >all his haunts; Elliott had
the reputation of being one of the mos
dangerous men in the country.
M. G. Mcdonald, saloon keeper, swort
! he had known Elliott twenty years anC
Dunn since 1871. He had tried to prevent
any trouble, Both men were at his place
on the day of the murder, at different times
= Both had revolvers in their coat pockets
He had asked Elliott to keep away from
the saloon, as he wanted no fight there
Dunn had promised him to keep away
from Elliott If he could, but if he saw the
latter approaching him he would be -
, if he would run. He had had previously
told Dunn of seeing Elliott knock down
} fifteen men with a wagon spoke, rob s
J Catholic priest and nearly brain boy with
a stone match safe. Elliott was a desper
ate man, and not considered a fair fighter
even by his own class. He would never
, hit even little man with his fist if there
was club handy. At this point court was
adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
There was large gathering of sporting
} men at the trial, nearly all noticeable fig
ures. Parson Davies, as he is called, i:
one of the best known sports in the city
He is an elegant looking man and resem-
bles theologian, dressing as becomes his
cognomen. appetite Bill' Langdon il
almost dude. Pat Sheedy is a tall, broad
shouldered, handsome young Irishman
and the prisoner himself has the reputa
ton of being one of the best looking and
most gentlemanly gamblers in the west
Mike Mcdonald, the alleged boss of the
city, who is worth half million, was about
the only ordinary looking man in the lot
the most carelessly attired. 1t is believed
here that Dunn will be acquitted, or if no.
will get of with not over two years sen
tence.
