Peter Johnson is the shoe man who
does business directly opposite the fiat.
He heard Dunneback calling for the
police, and believing that some Que
was being murdered, he ran across
and there he found the deceased lying
PROSTATE and helpless. He had heard
the trouble on the STAIRS, but he saw

Mrs. Beh's story.
Mrs. Beh was the next witness. Being
sworn, she SAID she lives in the same
house with Mrs. Ballard. She heard the
scuffling in the hail. as she supposed,
and she thought refractory boys
were playing pranks. There was
no particular outcry at this
time and she did not investigate. After
wards Mrs. Beh had an interview with
Mrs. Ballard. in which the latter said
BaZille had thrown Dunneback down
lille had said he was sorry "it had not
broken his ID neck" Mrs. Ballard
said Bazille was angry because Dunno
back paid attentions to Mrs. Ballard,
and witness had often heard Mrs. Bal
lard assert that she cared most for Ba-
Zille, and that she was going to marry
him the coming winter. Upon closer
questioning the witness was In doubt
whether Mrs Ballard had said Bazille
had thrown Dunneback down the
stairs, or that he had chased him down.
L. w. Erren, a travelling man, who
had been friend OF the deceased for
several years, visited Dunneback the
night of the injury in the latter's room
over the Third street restaurant Dun
neback said he had simply sprained his
leg, and that he would be about, as
usual, in day or two. He explained
that he had fallen down flight OF stairs.
On the following Saturday evening wit
ness saw the deceased again. When he
entered the room Mrs. Ballard was lying
OH the bed with Dunneback. Her head
was toward the foot of the bed, and sne
had her leg thrown across DunDeback's
shoulder. Dunnebeck was in semi
conscious state and failed to recognize
witness, although the talked to the
deceased, and endeavored in every
way to recall him to his proper
senses. He looked deatbly, and wit
ness at once concluded that something
must be done speedily else the man
could not survive. Witness went
straightway to DR.. Murphy and asked
pital, where he would receive efficient
treatment. DR.. Murphy expressed his
pleasure that some one had at last inter
ested himself in the case, and the doctor
telephOned the hospital and arranged
for the
Reception of the Patient.
Witness then related the facts con-
nected with Dunneback's removal to
the hospital. Upon being questioned by
Mr.. O'Brien. Mr.. Erren said that he did
not think Mrs. Ballard was intoxicated
at any time he saw her. Neither the
deceased nor Mrs. Ballard had given
him any story OF the tragedy.
Frank Ritter had been in the employ
OF the deceased. He testified that to
his knowledge Bszille and Dunneback
had been anything but friends. Dur
ing the Twin City races Dnnneback had
run stand at the track, aud Mrs. Dun
neback worked there in the capacity OF
cashier. One day Mr.. Ballard said to
witness that she hopes Bazille would
not come out there for there would be
trouble.
II replied" testified the witness,
''that it that fellow came out ana made
trouble we would throw him through
the window. But you can't" she said.

hurt somebody paid no more atten

trouble between DuHneback and
Bazille. On the Saturday after the
injury l went up to his

cause he was too weak TO be disturbed.
l didn't believe her and | pushed the
door open and entered. | wanted to
have him removed, but Mrs. Ballard
said she had been twice married, ana TO
take him away from her then would be
worse than she had suffered at the death
Of both her other husbands. Mrs. Ball
ard told me that Bazille was at the
head of the stairs when DunneUack fell.
| know that Dunneback was perfectly
sober when he went TO Mrs. Ballard'S,
for he had slept all that afternoon"
