After the recess the cross-examination Of Mr.
Kincaid was begun by the district attorney.
The witness said that he thought tina,
he was away from the Capitol after
| the encounter with Taulbee at the east
| door for half an hour. He was questioned
| infinitely as TO his different movements after
the encounter referred TO and the time that he
| haG spent at different places or in different
movements. Witness said when he encoun-
tered Taulbee and Donaldson on the
! steps Donaldson had his back TO WIT
ness and was step above Taulbee.
He did not see one man have hold of
| the other, he thought he would have noticed il
If one had hold Of the othe-. Witness had left
| the last landing and was on the first step below
it when he first noticed Taulbee. Witness
thought he spoke first. Taulbee made a mo-
tion, Strengthening up and throwing his hand
back. Witness said "You will Kill me?' or
Are you going to kill ne?" Witness knew
Taulbee said something. lie thought his words
were 81 will show You"
TAuLBEE MADE A RUSH AT HIM.
Tauibee then made rush at witness Wit
ness reiterated to the landing. Taulbee, who
had been briefly intercepted BY Donaldson's
wheeling about, came rushing right along
coming diagonally across. When witness fired
Taulbee was right at the top, either on the last
step or the second from the platform.
When witness fred Taulbee had his left hand
raised and was pulling at his pocket with his
right hand, or reaching. for his pocket. When
Iaulbee came up toward witness Donaldson
went on down the steps.
The witness said he held his pistol in his
right hand; he took it from his overcoat pocket,
the right-hand pocket, where he carried il. He
identified the cane which he carried. 1t was a
loaded cane he bought after Taulbee had as
saulted him on one occasion He had carried
it for a time and then left it at
home He thought a pistol shown
him by the district attorney was the one
he had, although 1t was rusty when he had il
and appeared now to have been FURNISHED.
He bought the pistol on the day of the assault
on him by Taulbee in the sergeant-at-arms'
room, the day the disclosure was made of Sill
colts defalcation.
TAULBEEs FIRST DEMONSTRATION.
The first time that Taulbee made any de-
monstration against the witness was in De-
ccmber. 1887. He pushed witness and was at
the time holding in his hand what appeared to
witness to be loaded cane. That was In an
elevator at the Capitol The witness was
asked whether Tauibee ever on these occa-
sions did more than push him. He in answer
described an occasion in a corridor at the Capt.
tol when Taulbee came up behind him aud tax
ing him by both hands flung him across the
corridor. The bitter feeling Of Taulbee began
in December, 1887, after a publication. Wit
ness had no bitter feeling against Taulbee un-
til after these assaults. The feeling grew; he
felt bitter after Taulbee pulled his ear that
day. Witness had never wanted Taulbee to get
him position under the doorkeeper Of the
House. There was no occasion for such a
thing. Witness held position under the door
keeper for about a week. 1t was not the posi-
tion witness had been promised; he was sick
and did not want At and resigned. That was
three or four years before the publica-
ton referred to. Witness and Tauibee were
then on good terms. Witness was not an appli-
cant for place to which d young man named
Kendall, from Taulbce's district. was appointed.
He had not asked Taulbee to help him: on the
contrary, Taulbee came to witness and asked
witness il he knew Donaldson, and on witness
replying afirmatively asked witness TO help
him get place under Donaldson for a Young
man from his district. Witness said be would
