fessed to the shooting both at the house
and also on the way to the city hall.
Cross examination: am roundsman.
1t took me only a few seconds to get up
stairs. I met the prisoner first, and then
the person who was on the stair above
passed me when went up with the prison
er. l was talking to the prisoner when he
said "Oh, he shot her, He had no coat or
vest on, but cannot say whether or not he
had hat on. At this time I saw Eliza
Hall, and she said, sob, my God, he shot
her." She was coming down stairs, and I
stopped her, and she repeated the same
words several times, two or three times at
the least. The prisoner said exactly the
same words. She did not point to the
prisoner. Officer Pendy had more
crooked way to get upstairs than l had,
and got ahead of him. Did not see any
thing of the white woman when went up
stairs. AS soon as the prisoner and
went upstairs he said it was an
accident. He pushed the door open,
and closed it against me except
about six inches. The woman shot was not
in her senses. had to use my hands and
feet to open the door. I could not say if
there was any other way to get out of the
rooms besides the one we used. When /
met the prisoner on the stairs the first
words he used we're, "Oh, he shot her," and
next, ST want policeman" I had no
uniform on, and did not show him any
star, and he had only my word for that.
He also said he wanted doctor. I do not
remember that the prisoner said anything
to the woman after he got into the room.
Perhaps he might have said to her that he
did not mean to shoot her. The woman
made no reply and did not move her head.
l do not know whether Eliza Hall came
came back or not. I do not know whether
left any one in the room or not when
went away. When went down stairs
gave instructions to an officer, Thick Of
ficer Gibbons, to take charge of the de-
ceased until I came back.

sworn and deposed as follows: ST was
called to see the deceased. Saw her first
at the room on Jackson street between
Fifth and Sixth streets. I saw her in the
night about fifteen or twenty minutes af-
ter the shooting. Found wound in the
left leg near the groin; it was bleeding
slightly; and there was small clot of
blood on the floor. (The doctor here ex-
planned to the jury the position and
nature of the wound, showing that it had
taken an upward direction, and came
nearly through.) I removed the ball next
morning when I came to see her. I also
saw her the afternoon of the same day and
ordered her removed to st. Lukes hospital.
She died at the hospital in week or ten
days afterwards. After her daath I held
an autopsy. The shot was the cause of her
death. The ball was taken out the morn
ing of the shooting.
Cross-examined. She died in week or
ten days after the shooting. I attended
her. l considered from the first that the
wound would prove fatal. Several other
doctors were called in by me and we all
considered that the chances were against
her. J. told her the chances were against
her, bnt not for some time after she was
wounded. Had no convers alton with de-
ceased as to the shooting and she did not
say whether it was accidental or not.
ELIZA HALL
on being sworn deposed as follows: knew
deceased, Ella Patterson, who was the
woman shot. I came to st. Paul on the
9TH Of June, and saw her the same after
worked on Fifth street very near there,
just across the street. l stopped at Mr..
Hollands the first night 1 was in the
city and also on the second night.
saw deceased on Friday and
also on Saturday, and took my meals
there. The shooting was on Saturday
night. l went there on Saturday morning
and never left the house all day. Saw
T Al
ing, and took my dinner with them. I
went over from the place where the de-
ceased was at work about six or half-past
six, and the prisoner also went up stairs
with us. THE witness here gave descrip-
ton of the position OF the rooms which
were divided into three, although there
were really only two rooms, the large one
being divided into two by sliding DOORS
A person from the hall could come in or
Out of any of the rooms, but at that time
only the door that entered from the hall
into the back room was used or could be
opened. Do not know the relations be-
tween the prisoner and deceased, only I
know that they slept together. On Satur-
day evening prisoner invited ms to play a
game of casino with him 10 which agreed; ;
We were to play for drinks. We sat down
to play at little after six, when he won
the first game, and gave him the money
to go for quart of beer. After We drank
that, of which the deceased also had s
glass, we continued playing until about 10
O'Clock, when be got tired and went out.
The deceased went into her own
room and left as together.
After he left she came
out and I sat with her until Ills. when 1
said l would go home. She wanted me to
stay and take her bed, which 1 refused.
The night was dark and Holland came
after me. When went to Hollands his
wife would not let me step and so 1 came
right back. When 1 was going into the
house l saw tbs prisoner going into sa-
loon with pitcher after beer. / went up
stairs and the deceased said might stop
thore all night. After being in short
time prisoner came in, and came in dane
ing and skipping about, and said, Il am
happy for once; don't care d-n for
any one and no one cares d-n for
me-" In the room at this time were the
deceased, the prisoner and myself, and
Lou Davis was not there. He went and
got dog that he had and began to play
with it and caused him to bark. This an
