The Defense Introduces It's Testl
mOny.a
The case of Erastus Hankins, Charge
with the murder of William Everson, a
Florence, is still on trial before Judg
Cheney. The proceedings yesterda
were opened by the introduction OF th'
evidence of Mrs. L. A. Clark, who ha,
seen the body of deceased lying in tn
road. Her evidence did not disclose an.
new facts.
Joseph Hankins, the father Of de
fendant, related a conversation will
Everson, in which he claimed tina
Erastus Hankins owed him something
The defense here asked that the charg
against Erastus Hankins be dismissed
The motion was denied.
Several hours were consumed by tn,
attorneys for the defense in reading aft
davits of numerous people in Nevada
who testified that the character of tht
defendant was good.
c. A. Garfield testified that he hat
had a conversation with Everson abou
Erastus Hankins the day before Ever
sons death. Everson said that Hankinl
owed him 500 and that he wanted wit
ness to stop Hankins from taking hi
goods away. He thought Hankins wal
going to move without paying him
Everson said, referring to Hankins, thai
he was going to get even with him anG
called him vile name.
@. butcher testified that Everson hac
told him he did not like Hankins and
that he would get away with him yet
He seemed tolbe aggrieved over some
deal. The witness had told Hankins Of
this conversation.
w. Woodbury. testified that Hankins
character was good. He had known
him in White Pine county, Nevada.
R. McMenony testified that he had
known Hankins in White Pine county
Nevada, and his reputation for peace
and quiet was good.
r. Nadeau testified that Hankins and
Everson had conversation while he
was present, in which Everson and Han.
kins called each other names. Everson
called Hankins the names first, and
Hankins called them back. Everson
claimed that Hankins owed him money.
Everson and Hankins went off together
and when Everson came back he said
Hankins had settled with him.
oOCC Ph AAohAAho wac OR1ON COl1OOOI-
ated the testimony of Mr.. Nadeau, and
said that after the settlement Everson
said he would have satisfaction out of mis-
son Erastus. Everson had talked un-
favorably about Erastus Hankins for five
or six months. On the 10Th of June
Erastus had everything packed ready to
60 to Nevada. He was going to take his
family with him. Everson was over six
feet tall and was very strong man. He
weighed between 23o and 240 pounds.
]. G. Wiens testified that he knew the
defendant in Nevada and that he had q
good reputation.
DR.. r. L. Wright testified that he knew
Hankins in Nevada and that he bore a
good reputation there.
E. A. Wescott testified that E verson
had told him that Hankins had tried to
beat him out of moley. He talked as if
he had no good will for Hankins.
This closed the testimony for the de-
tense, except that of the defendant,
which will be given this morning.

Delayed by the Rain.

1t is impossible to finish up the sur
facing on the new Santa Monica Road
owing to the heavy rains of the past ten
days. The opening will therefore be
probably delayed little later than New
Years Day, the time when the ceremony
was to take place, but this is practically
immaterial 80 far as traffic is concerned,
because there will not be very much
business to the ocean for the next two or
three months. The slight disadvantages
of the delay are more than compensated
therefore by the fact that the rain will
thoroughly settle the road bed.
