CRIME RECORD.
THE DUNN TRIAL.

lOpeclal Telegram TO the GlODe
CHICAGO, May 15.-The argument of
counsel was begun in the Dunn murder
trial this morning. States Attorney Mills
made fiery speech. He reviewed the facts
in the case, claimed Dunn and Elliott had
a quarrel and feud arose between them;
mutual threats were passed. On the night
of March l., Elliott sat eating his supper.
He was man half blind. His empty hand
lay upon the table, Dunn came in, walked
down the aisle, saw Elliott, slswly and
covertly crept upon him, drew his revolver,
took deliberate aim and shot that un-
armed man. Some witnesses for the
defense had sworn to most
improbable and perjured story as to
Elliott's being armed and firing the first
shot. Mr.. Mills took exactly thirty min
utes in his opening. Col. Mum followed
for the defense, making a strong plea tor
the prisoner. He occu pied the remainder
of the day. Emory Sterrs will follow to-
morrow morning, and after he is through
Mills will make his closing speech. The
chances are about even on the jury getting
the case before adjournment. Nobody
expects Dunn will get more than light
sentence if found guilty. It appears to
the drop first came out ahead. Two
desperate men were looking for the other
to kill him, and one had to die. If both
had been slain the tragedy would have been
fifty completed.
