He listened with close attention to the re-
mainder of Mrs. Fell's testimony against
his son and, when his own testimony was
taken up, said that he was ready and spoke
up without any hesitation when called on to
do so, though like most persons brought
before court, insisting upon telling his
own side of the story rather than cross
questioning the witnesses. his appearance
lie familiar to many residents of Whining
ton. About Or perhaps little above the
medium height, rather spare looking, about
65 years old, with heavy white mustache
and bushy white chin beard, the lines OF his
face showing the recklessuess of expression
| to be expected In one who had killed his
man nearly 40 years before, after having
warned him that he would do so if he per-
sisted in setting foot upon his premises with
out warrent.
After the elder List had been placed in
the dock, Mrs. Fell continued her testi-
mony, saying: Taylor ran away from List:
List ran after him and fired two shots; l
could not tell whether either of them struck
him; he ran around the corner; Taylor was
coming tow ards List when the last shot was
fred at him; did uot hear aay words pass
between them; was not close enough to
