The examination Of George r. Bu-
chan. charged with the murder of Jo-
seph F. Anderson, was commenced be-
fore Judge Mahoney in the municipal
court yesterday. There has been
marked change in the appearance of
Buchan since the night he walked into
the central station az a prisoner. His
prison life has told on him, and he is
pale and there are deep burrows in his
forehead. His face has lost its fresh
ness, and his cheek bones stand out
prominently: He was dressed in the
same suit lie wore the night of the
shooting and a gray flannel shirt. He
watched the proceedings closely, and was
apparently worried as he listened TO
the statements of the various witnesses
who repeated the story told at the coro-
ner'S inquest. .Ouly once did he smile,
and that was when AnderSon'S revolver
was exhibited. It was a little thing
that carried ball not larger than pea,
but when Attorney THAN attempted to
take it apart the attorneys and witnesses
who were in line with the muZZle OF it
exclaimed. Point it some other way"
and quickly moved aside. Lou Ander-
son was in the court room during the
afternoon session. For over an hour
she sat listening to the testimony i'll 4
preOccupied sort of way, and no one
could tell that she was at all interested
in the proceedings. At last WOman's
nature asserted itself and the
tears trickled down her cheeks,
but she wiped them away
and succeeded in concealing her feel
ings She was not dressed in mourn
ing, as was stated by the afternoon
papers. natty little hat of the Fedora
pattern. trimmed with dark ribbon and
offset with birds wing adorned her
head. while a light veil covered the
upper half of her face. She was attired
in black pleated walking dress, the
bodice OF which was trimmed with steel
ornaments. A gold watch chain on her
breast. black kid gloves and silver
handled umbrella gave her all air of
gentility that Is somewhat at variance
with the stories some people told about
her.
The examination was conducted by
County Attorney Jamison on behalf of
the state, while Davenport 81 Than APP
peared for the defense. Frederick
Shambeck was the first witness. He
repeated the story of his acquaintance
with Anderson, and told of his visit to
the hospital and to Gleason & Byorum's
mOrgue, where he saw the BODY. DR..
w. E. Rockford, of st. Mary's hospital,
described as length the wounds received
by Anderson, and testified that the
cause of death was acute peritonftis,
due TO the bullet wound in the stomach.
Daniel p. Murphy repeated the story he
told before the cOronerS inquest, and
recognized Buehan as one of the men
who did the shooting on the evening of
April %. Steward W. Laird, James
Galbraith and w. G. Hayward testified
to the facts as brought out at the in
quest. Dr. Rockford was recalled in
the afternoon and described the CONVEX
sation he mad with Anderson shortly
before his death. After a long
argument by the attorneys for both
sides Judge MahOney decided TO allow
the statement made by Anderson to be
put in evidence. DR.. Rockford testified
that Anderson in answer to the qaes-
tons put by Assistant County Attorney
Briggs said that on the night of the
shooting he was walking along Third az
when he met man walking with his
wife The went up to him and said, This
IS about PLAYED out" The man called
him a and he called him the same.
He said the other fellow shot first GER
talnly. He drew his pistol from his
pants pocket while Anderson's pistol
was in his coat. r. E. Park. of the
Journal and l.. A. Lydiard, ofthe county
attorneys Office, corrobarated the physi-
clan regarding the statement made by
Anderson. MIR. Lydiard testified that
on the night of the shooting he was at
3rd avenue s. and,Fiftn street and heard
the shots. There was loud report and
then another after a short interval.
Then there was u clatter of shots and
| after another interval a single shot.
He was positive that the first shots
were the heaviest.
The coult then took recess until 9
o'clock this morning.
