sister Of the deceased, next took the stand
and related the same story OF the episodes
previous TO the tragedy heretofore told in
The Bee. Yesterday Willie was more ner-
vous than on previous occasions when she
had been on the stand, and became agitated
and mixed up under the close questioning of
Attorney Offut.
Mrs. Josephine Haskins followed. and gave
an interesting and graphicdescription of what
she knew about the shooting. According to
her story she was prompted by female in
quisitiveness TO follow Ryan and Mrs. Howard
into Doty & Darsts on the memorable night.
She took a seat in the room adjoining them,
and heard them kiss each other and speak
endearing words. She heard Mrs. Howard
ask Ryan, 'How long it would be before
they would be happy together and appeal
to him for money. To this Ryan replied,
ut will not be long, my darling, and l will
have some money for you in a few days as I
expect some from home. Then, CONTINUED the
witness, this promise was sealed with a kiss,
and | looked through a crack in the partition
through which l could plainly see Mrs. How
ard and Ryan. The latter came toward Mrs.
Howard, who turned her head and remarked,
what's thatl' Thinking" continued Mrs.
Hawkins, that l had been discovered, l
stepped back and then heard the report Of
the pistol. l was frightened and made my
way out into the hall, and met one of the pro-
prietors of the place whom l told an accident
had occurred. Just then the door to the room
in which Ryan and Mrs. Howard were was
opened, and the latter cried I'm shot, and
fell to the floor dead. Ryan still held in his
hand the smoking pistol, which he turned
over to the proprietor of the ~saloon.n Mrs.
Haskins acknowledged that she had pre-
viously frequented these wine rooms, was
living apart from her husband, and had be-
fore seen Ryan and Mrs. Howard there.
DR.. Webber and w. Scott, the step. father
of the deceased, next gave their testimony.
Nothing new was disclosed by them.
AT 3 o'clock the prosecution rested and at
9:30 this morning the defense will take up
their side of the case. In the meantime the
jury is under the surveillance of Deputy
Sheriff Grebe, and are fed and lodged away
from public gaze and influence. When the
jurymon were notified that they were to be
kept in confinement they were astonished,
and everybody in the court was surprised.
The only explanation for this unusual move
is that the lawyers and court deemed it best
for all concerned.
