testified that he was 30 years old. and had
come to Nebraska from Texas in lNN..
In the spring OF 1890 his herd consisted
Of eighty-fve or ninety head, but since
his arrest he had sold most OF them, to-
gether with some of his real estate. He
denied almost all of the conversation re-
ferred to by Gray. Concerning the cat
tie which Gray had helped drive across
the river, he did not answer so quickly
nor SO positively as he did on other points.
He thought the cattle belonged to him,
but heard rumors of their being
crooked" Inc thought that he had bet
ter get rid OF them. He paid Kingen to
herd his cattle at various times.
The cross-examination proved very
interesting. In response to questions put
by Mr. Stoll, he gave his history from the
time he first landed in Nebraska. He
owned some 800 acres of land, which he
had proved up on, but had DISPOSED
of some oft since his arrest. He gave the
different dates on which he had purchased
cattle, and stated that some ofthem ne had
bought from james. He stated positively
that in the spring of 1890 be owned
eighty five or ninety head of cattle; and
was ylsibly confused when asked whether
he had not stated to the board OF county
commissioners Of SCOTS Bluff countythat
his herd consisted OF but twenty head.
Mr.. Stoll went on with the question did
you not tell me of that board that you
had stolen some of the cattle in your
herd?" The prisoner made some attempt
at an explanation, but when pushed Tor a
direct answer replied: Yes. [ told
them that | bought some of them from
Smith, some from Jones, and that [ stole
the rest" ''That's all, - said the prose
cution.
On redirect examination an attempt
was made to impeach Gray's testimony
by showing that be stood in with Kingsn
Snl James Objection was made, and as
the hour for adjournment had arrived,
the question OF the admission of the testi-
mony was taken under alvisemeut until
tomorrow morning.
This morning Mckinney will 90 on
the stand again, and, unless some rebuttal
is introduced, the case will then be argued

told them that the work on the cattle had

short time Mckinney left.
Milton Byal proved a most interesting
witness. BYal is the sheriff of SCOTS
Bluff county, and is the man who arrested
Mckinney. He testified that he met
Mckinney in the office of the county clerk
of his county, and stated to him that he
had a warrant for his arrest and a reuuiSi-
ton to take him TO Cheyenne. In an III
slant Mckinney had pulled his gun,
pointed it at the witness, and swore that
he would never be taken to Wyoming
alive. In the meantime the county clerk
had slipped up behind Mckinney and
struck his arm. Mckinney turned and
the u went off 1t shot a hole through
the trousers of the county clerk and put a
big hole through the floor. Byal sta'cd
to Mckinney that he was glad that no
one had been hurt. II am un, =" said the
prisoner, II wish one of you had been
killed"
THIS closed the case for the prosecution,
and the defense opened up with its wit
nesscs. Some OF them testified to having
sold cattle to Mckinney at various times,
and others stared that they had known of
Wyoming cattle drifting into Nebraska.
One witness testified that no had had
ample opportunities OF observing McKin-
ney's herd, and that he had never seen
any crooked" cattle in it. All were
closely cross-examined, but stuck to their
stories.
The defense then asked for a recess, In
order to consult Klngen preparatory to
introducing him as a witness. Kingeu
was brought into court, and for ten min
utes was in close consultation with the
attorneys, Confinement evidently does
not agree with him. When on his trial
he was the picture of good health, but Is
now pale and looks
The prosecution objected TO the witness
being sworn, on the ground that he had
been convicted of an Infamous crime, and
was therefor, rnpetent to testify. Mr..
Raynor, for the defense. made a strong
appeal for the introduction OF the testi-
mony, because Gray's testimony was re-
garding a conversation in which Kingen
took ra;t; but the court sustained the
objection, and Kingen was sent back to
Jail.
Mckinney then took the stand himself.
He proved to DO very quick and positive
in his replies, except on one point. He

fair sample of it. We knew at the

that he can obtain a new trial in
