seemed excited. He upset the syrup
and the sugar, and when | brought
him cup Of tea he upset that. He
had purse in his hand which he tried
to hide. He would put it under the
table when | came into the room.u
In the CrOss-eXaminatiOn Mr.. Piles
tried to get the witness to say that
George was drunk, but she stated posi-
lively that she did not smell liquor on
him.
Recess was then taken until , o'clock.
John Xettler was the first witness
called in the afternoon. He saw Moses
lounklns in town the day he was
killed. He saw him take the street
car on Thirteenth street when he
started home i'm the afternoon. On
the following day he went to the place
where lounkins was killed. He saw
pieces of flesh and blood lying around
on the ground. He went into the
water in the ditch where Nounkins
lay and found club with blood.
Major Cole then unwrapped news
paper and produced "a club about the
size Of a fence stake. There was an in
denture in one of its sharp corners.
The witness identified the club as the
one he found.
DR.. Cross, the surgeon who was sum
moned to dress Moses Younllin's
wounds, then took the stand He
testified, describing the wounds he
found upon Younkins. The frontal
bone was crushed, the bony socket of
the eye was broken and the upper Jaw,
lower jaw and nose were fractured.
One eye was gone but he afterward
found it i'm the sheets. Witness stated
that his first impression was that
Hounkins had been struck by hand
car.
On the cross-examination counsel for
the defense labored to bring out the
hand-car theory. He read extracts
from the doctors testimony before the
coroner. The doctor then explained
that Hounkins said nothing until
raised on the pallet. He then asked
him:
Did the train strike you?
No.
Did the hand-car strike you?
Yes.
Afterward, continued the doctor
Iounkins said he wanted to sit by the
fire. He then asked him:
Did train strike you?
No.
Did the hand-car?
No.
Did anybody strike you?
No.
Did you fall?
No.
How did you get hurt?
| am getting old and got among the
stumps.
On redirect testimony the witness
stated that he did not think Nounkins
conscious.
On re-crosseXamination he admitted
that he gave rational answers to ques-
tons.
Jimmie Allen, thirteen-year-old son
Of Solomon Allen, Of Lummi, was
called and worked his passage through
the audience to the witness stand. He
is a cute, good-natured, bright-loolling
boy, as brown as a berry, with a round,
clean-cut face, and hair and eyes as
black as Egypt. He was a favorite
with the audience from the start. He
spoke clearly, his lips always parted
with a pleasant smile when talking.
The day Gouukins was killed he was
at Freers. In the afternoon about 4
O'clock he took his gun and started
down the railroad track to meet Harry
Freer coming home from school. In
looking down the track toward What
com he saw man three-quarters Of "A
mile away carrying something on his
shoulder and walking toward him with
a cane. He saw him reel and stagger.
While he stood looking into the water
on the right side Of the track he sud
denly fell backward over the rail
on the track. He then got up and sat
down on the side of the track on the
tie or rail. He saw him sit there about
ten minutes. He thought it was
crazy man. He then saw two men
come around the curve and come up to
the man sitting on the track. He took
his eyes off for short time and when
he looked again, the man sitting on
the rail and one of the other men had
disappeared, but one man stood there
on the track. He then saw a bundle
90 up in the air and then the other
man went off the track and disap-
peared down the embankment. In
short time the two men came up on
the track again and came on toward
the witness. Jimmie then started
back to Freer's. He stepped Off the
track into the trail and waited half an
hour for the men to go past him but he
did not see them pass. He then went
to the house. Later in the evening he
saw the bruised body of Moses Youn-
kins lying beside the track where he
saw the two men go down out Of sight
when he watched them.
Jimmy adhered closely to the state
ments he had made under cross-eXami-
nation and could not be shaken by the
strategy of Mr.. Piles.
At 4:30 O'Clock the court took a re-
cess until $3.50 Monday morning
