dercfS perjury. This man HeynS lives
within 100 feet Of the turn-table, and
had just come home on John McKin-
mans car, and after going into the
house and taking off his coat and boots
and putting on a pair of slippers, had
gone out in the yard. Now there were
no houses or trees or any other obStruc-
tiOns between where he was and where
the shooting took place, and when the
first shot was fired he saw the flash and
started for the car only partially
dressed, just as the states witnesses
have testified to seeing him after he
had stopped the car. After he started
for the car he stopped to faSten
up his clothes and he saw
three other shots fired almost together.
When this happened he was within fifty
feet of the car. He then ran to the car,
and not seeing the driver and seeing
two men run down Cedar avenue, one
ahead of the other, and thinking the
driver was chasing some one Joined i'll
the pursuit and fell down near the
Cedar avenue gate of the cemetery and
lost his slippers. After getting up and
not seeing where the men had gone, he
ran after the car and stopped it and
found T0llefSOn dead OH the front plat
form. He then went to house and
woke up one of the neighbors, a Mr.. Pc
ters, and together they drove the car
down Cedar avenue until they met Nc
kinnon with policeman. Wewill also
show by other witnesses that his story
is corrObOrated, and that the state knew
of this evidence and yet did not dare
use it because it would not cOrroborate
Henry's lies. We will also show that
Timothy and Peter did not go to Henry's
house that night, but went down OH
Riverside avenue car to their sisters,
Mrs. COleman'S."

On the cross-eXamination Mr.. Davis
read the evidence, as it was taken
down at the inquest. by Joseph Mannix,
reporter, and asked if that was the same
testimony he gave at the inquest.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE
in the testimony was that most of the
sentences commenced with the words,
Il think" He was asked if he used
those words when testifying at the in
quest. He said he did not, and that he
had number of corrections made in
the report of his evidence, at the in
quest, before he signed it. On looking
at his signature On the copy Of the evil
dence taken at the inquest, he said he
did not think that was his signature,
and if it was he must have been greatly
excited when he wrote it. Mr.. Davis
then crOss-eXamined him in regard to
the shooting and the finding of the dead
driver, but was unable to shake his di-
rect testimony. Court then adjourned
to 8 o'clock this morning
