II. G. Whitney testified: Am the local
reporter of the Herald; was such on NO
vember 28th last I obtained the IN
formation published in the report in the
Herald of the 29th. Had talked with
Marshal Phillips and others about the
deposition made by McMurrin. Got a
few items from conversation with 5. a:
Kenner, DR.. Benedict and others, but did
not remember just exactly from whom
the facts were obtained. Judge Speirs
and II. M. Wells had both declined to
disclose any facts relating to the deposit
ton. Don't remember when l heard
about McMurrin having returned the
shots; think did not hear of it on the
night of the shooting, and not before l
heard the deposition read in court. Re
NAMED at the City Hall on the evening
of November 18th some time after Nc
Murrin was removed. I gathered the
information from what / heard at the
City Hall and from visiting Marshal Ire
land and others.
The defense here announced its conclu-
sion of testimony, and Mr.. Dickson moved
that the defendant be discharged. He
thought that Collins own statement was
consistent throughout, and that there had
been no evidence of damaging character
developed in this examination respecting
Collin. The most diligent efforts had
been put forth to secure McMurrin as
witness. The latter's deposition had
contained statements, his family had
denied his making the statements, and
altogether the showing for McMurrin
was not creditable one. He was
of the opinion, and thought there was
abundant evidence to show, that Collin
had not fired the shots which had pene-
trated his own clothing, and further, that
there had been testimony brought forth
conclusively proving that Collin had been
assaulted and fired at, and the case there
for had every appearance of being one of
self defense as regards the defendant.
Commissioner Mckay concurred in the
opinions of the District Attorney, and
stated that there had been sufficient
showing to justify Collin in shooting Nc
Murrin. He Commissioner Mckay
thought it was to be regretted that he
had not shot the other parties as well.
After some further remarks he an
nounced "The defendant is dis
charged
Judge Hoge requested that the Marshal
be instructed to take possession of the
hats, clothing, etc., in case they might be
needed on future occasion.
The Commissioner announced that, as
he was merely a committing magistrate,
the Grand Jury might possibly take a
different view of the case, he thought it
advisable to have the witnesses subpe-
naed to appear before that body when
wanted. The witnesses were detained,
and the work of subpenaing accom-
plished, after which the last of the spec
tators filed out.
Deputy Collin, who had manifested
nothing in the shape Of fear or anxiety
during the examination, now wore more
pronounced smile, and was the recipient
of congratulations from number of
friends. Thus ends the first chapter
there are other chapters to come, it is
safe to predict.

The new repeating rifle with which the
Austro-Iiungarian infantry is to be
armed has been tested during the last
three months by five battalions, and found
to be excellent in every way, and alto
gether superior to the French repeating
rifle. The chief point seems to be the
wonderfully simple manner in which. by
means Of spiral springs, the cartridges
arc pushed forward and the empty cases
thrown out. One pressure on the crank
places five cartridges ready for firing,
and another turn elects five empty cart
ridge cases, five fresh cartridges being
simultaneously placed in the magazine.
SO far, it is clear that the problem has
been solved. and that a serviceable
weapon has been secured by which tho
men can fire with marvellous rapidity.
Experienced officers, however, still
have their doubts about the advantages
Of the new arm, remembering the para
dox of the famous German military
writer, Won der Goltz, that in the next
wal the army that will be beaten will be
that which can fire the quickest. The
new rifle may prove all that is expected
in the hands Of Austro-G German mount
a%ineers, who know how 10 handle fire
arms, but it will greatly increase the
tendency Of all members of vivacious ma
tions to %squander their ammunition, as
the French infantry did in 1870, and as
the Servians did in the late war.-Chi-
