same line as Brown as 60 the fight and how
be got Chubby Sullivan out Of it.
Michael DAILY also made statement in
reference to the shooting Of which he was
witness. DAILY said Kavanaugh pulled the
pistol out of bis pocket and fired direct at

Daly'S testimony was somewhat amusing
through his description Of the fight.
YOUNG HARRIsoN's STORY.
James Harrison detailed his connection
with the affair In about the same manner that
Brown did. The oity attorney submitted
Harrison's testimony before the coroner's
jury es to bis statement that the crowd
was drunk. Harrisons testimony as TO
Kavanaugh's shooting Garrigan differed
| from Days Harrison said KavhnAuRh
| pulled his pistol Out Of his hip pocket and
either put it In his coat pocket or under bis
coat. and firsd WIKI the pistol there. Har-
rlson's testimony was somewhat conflicting.
| James Mcbride, ST.. oorroborated Har-
rison's state nlent as TO the manner In which
KavanauKh shot Gar1gan. He didn't see
she beginning of the fight
| Thomas Noon was put up, but hia testi-
mony was lacking in interest. He didn't
see tho fight.
| BUCKLEY TELLS IT ALL
John Buckley, saw part of the trouble
and ne gave bis story Of the shooting.
| Buckley gave his testimony in q straight
| forward way. He was the man who caught
Garrigan in his arms after the shooting aud
| took him 30 Mrs. Kings. Buckley said
he didn't think that Kavanaugh was going
to shoot or he could have saved Garrigan.
His statement different from that of
other witnesses as to whether
KavanAugh carried his pistol in his hip
| pocket or in 4 holster. He swore positively
that it was in the holster aud that
Kavansugh was ten or fifteen seconds get
ting it out. Whether be shot through his
coat or not he couldn't say. Buckley was
the last witness for the defense.
P. c. Brown was then put on the stand
and told an entirely different story from
that told by most OF the witnesses. He tes-
titled that DAILY took the pistol from Kava-
naugh. His testimony was rather against
! his brother, James z. Brown, and the part
he said he took in It.
Sergt. BauRhn testified that Kavanaugh
was sober when be went on duty short
time before the shooting occurred, and was
apparently sober when he was brought into
the barracks after it. The purpose OF Sergt.
Baughn's testimony was 70 rebut that OF
witnesses VINO stated that Kavanaugh had
been drinking when the ARRAY occurred.
KAvANAUeH's SECOND STORY.
Kavanaugh was recalled and went over
the story that he had told before. Kava-
naugh's story took a sensational turn when
he recalled previous difficulty in front of
MoBride's saloon and stated that the man
was in the council room who had plotted TO
kill him there.
How do you know that7" old O'Brien
asked.
Il was told SO by the party who took
knife from him."
The matter was dropped there.

the pistol in bis hip pocket or in holster

"Did you shoot at GarriganP'
mo, fired in front OF me- They were

aoquittal Ia police court OF Harrison, Nc
Bride, Noon and Others that he didn't aequit
them because he believed they had no oon-
neotion with the affair, but that Brown,
Kenny and DAILY and others we're ring
leaders in the affair which resulted in Gar
rigan beng shot.
