THE PEARSON CASE.
The Evid nee for the Prosecution
ali In.

The Pearson murder case at Provo
etill attracts considerable attention. 1t
is said that somewhere in the neighbOr-
hood of thirty witnesses have been sum-
monei and the prospects are that the
case will continue for several days yet.
On the afternoon OF Wednesday, after
our report OF yesterday closed, John
Sidwell wa called by the prosecution
Live at:Juab; know where Chalmers
saloon was; l was there on January
10th, 1886; l went to where the body
was soon after be was shot; life was Mt
extinct; his tongue was moving; had
seen the man before; it was about ?
O'Clock of that day; was not present
when the body was removed; the next
[ saw of it was at the Court House; 1
mel ed wash it, and assisted in r, NOV
ing the clothing; there was a wound on
his body right here (pOinting his finger
at his br asst near the heart); the wound
was about the size of my little finger;
it was open; did not observe any other
wounds at all; good deal of his back
was discOlorCd; it was the same bOdv
that l saw the y before in the rear OF
Chalmers saloon.
To Ma. HIGHToN-I was Sheriff OF
the County; | assisted 10 take off his
clothes; he had on a shirt-no
him some blOud spurted out; l
found no grains of powder in the skin
did not examine the clothes; l first saw
the defendant and Green on their ami
mals-the former on a mule, and
Green was on a horse; they were next
riding down the street; did not know
whether !hey were drunk or not;
recognize the defendant as the person
l saw that day; saw the defendant again
arout a mile and half out Of NephI,
riding in direction of Nephi at tie
right Of the road; he was on horse
we passed each other on the road; l
saw his face, aud then turned around
aad followed him; I nett saw him in a
buggy l got into it with him; We drove
TO the Jail.
Objected to, but overruled, as defense
wanted to find out the appearance of
the prisoner at that time.
WITNESS I saw him in Jail that night
and frequently afterwards; do not
think Pearson had a coat on the first
time, had one on the second time; iC
was near 5 o'clock.
EARNEST H. GREEN recalled
Worked in Ruba Valley; he had not |
been here for eleven months prior; I |
had my brothers clothing brought |
down from Salt Lake to LehI; father !
and mother went with me; it was the |
same clothing my brother had on at
Nephi.
Mrs. ANNIE GREEN (mother of the
deceased) sWorn-I live in Salt Lake; |
lived at Lehi on last January; re- |
member the occasion Of the body |
Of my son being brought to |
Lehi; l remember going to Salt |
Lake for his clothing: l got |
l have the Overshirt here with me now;
it was washed.
The witness was then excused.
This ended the witnesses for the
prosecution, except that of the CROSS
examination of Mr.. Gadd, who had the
first opportunity after being examined,
and got somewhat intoxicated. He was
brought in, but was excused until his
health was restored.
Defense thought it better to let the
case rest for the day, and open up for
the defense in the morning. Acceded to.
Yesterdays WORK.
w. R. PIKE, physician, was called as
an expert. He said he graduated in
Vermont; had prseticed eight or nine
years in this Territory; said the pit Of
the stomach was at the point o. the
breast bone.
PRosECUToR-"Poin to the heart
show the Jury where the heart is"
Objected 10 by the defense, there had
been no foundation for such question
the course OF the ball has not been
proven. The question was withdrawn.
There was then quite an extended
as to the admissability of
answers to a question put to the
doctor, both sides indulging in lengthy
during which the jury was
excused, and the lawyers were not
through when the mail closed. The
case will be continued to-day.
