Lambert was talking I did not zee him
have . pistol, nor did / at any time. II
Lambert had flourished . pistol at the
time he was talking I would have seen il.
DAN. A. MANNrNa's TESTIMONY.
On July IS. about 8 P. NJ, I saw Mr.
| Lambert and Mrs. Horen. / was on the
stoop to Lambert's door when he drove up
in Q wagon. He said TO Barnum This
clerk): -"why did you let her get into
that house ?" Barnum replied: II could
not help it," He then went into his store
and came ont with . pistol in his appraised
hand, and ven across the street and broke
down the door. Just before Lambert came
up l saw Mrs. Horen throwing goods ont
OF the door OF the house opposite Lam
bert's store. After Lambert broke In and
vent into the house I went down the street
to the BARRIERS. From the BARRIERS I saw
him come out Of the house, dragging Mrs.
Horen BY the hair and her face was Gov
cred with blood. I think be dragged her
with his right hand. / saw no pistol ct
that time. God only knows what kind Of
q pistol he had at first. I don't. Looked
like . "bull-dog."
Cross-examined-Am positive I saw .
pistol in Lambert's hand. Saw barrel and
part of the cylinder. I saw the pistol when
he was two feet from me.
A. Q. aooDwN's TESTIMONY.
On the evening Of July IS l was stand
ing on Lambert's store stoop. Saw LAM
bert drive up in . wagon. Lambert jumped
out and ran into his store and came out
immediately. Went across the road. He
had something in his hand which I thought
was . pistol, but / can't swear positively
he ran 30 fast.
After Goodwin's testimony, about 6
o'clock, had been taken, Mr.. CARRIER
moved to continue the case until to-day, ~
important witnesses who had been sum-
moned had not appeared in Court. Mr..
Beatty objected. The matter wal dis
cussed at some length, when the Judge
ordered the proceedings to go on. Mr..
CARRIER stated that the reason he asked for
q continuance was that DR.. Nesbitt. by
whom he expected to establish the nature
Of Mrs. Horan's injuries, and who would
swear to hearing the pistol-shot, had dis
appeared and could not be found. Mr..
Beatty thought that N attachment should
be issued TO bring the witness into Court
while the business went on. The attach
ment was issued and Constable Stevens
sent to arrest the witness.
Evening Session.
Court was called after recess for an hour
and . half, at 1880. The hall WAS filled
with spectators, mostly miners Of the day
shift. DR.. Nesbitt had been found and
brought up from Eureka.
DIR. NEsBrrT's TESTIMONY.
I attended Mrs. Horen July IS. She
had two cuts on the left forehead and one
ON the back OF the head. The latter was
angular and the others pretty straight.
One on the back Of the head about an inch
long, deep cut. Must have been sharp in
strument to make it; might be piece of
iron. A blow was necessary to make such
cut or cuts. Might have been dangerous. |
Don't think they we're. A woman could
be killed by q blow on the head with q pis-
toll. A bottle could not have made such
wounds. The wounds on the forehead
were cut to the bone; also wounds on back
Of head. Saw Lambert go into store and
come out in q minute with pistol in hand
and run straight across the road. The
wound could have been made by the pistol
he had. Thought I heard q pistol report.
Can't swear to it. Think I would have
heard it had it been fred. Don't think it
was fred.
Crossexamined-Mrs. Horen's skull was
not injured; they were only scalp wounds.
The wound on the back Of the head could
not be produced by falling down ON any.
thing. Those on the front Of the head
could not have been produced by . broken
bottle. Don't think that q three-cornered
piece Of glass or a three-cornered glass in
strument could produce them. Was more
than 100 feet from Lambert when l saw
him come out Of the store.
THE END
The State then rested the case, and coun-
sci for the defendant stated that they would
not introduce any testimony, but would
await the action Of tho Grand Jury. JUS
tice Mclaughlin fixed the bond Of defend
ant at 81 900, which will be given to-day,
when the bond under which he is at pres
ent held will be Cancelled.
