10 was she who sat at the kitchen win
dow Of her home, with her brother French
and Nen LANG, at the time of the shoot
/ ing. She said DR. Baird was passing in
front of Sweitzer's store when she first
saw him. He drove on up to the ring, and
stopped. She saw Dr. Garrison there that
day. When she first saw him he was
standing lust west of Mrs knights step.
Dr.. Baird got out of his buggy and
tied his horse, aud his hands fell TO his side,
and ne took about a step when Dr. Garri-
son fired. Dr. Baird turned a step or two,
when DR.. Garrison fired again. DR.. Baird
then wentiutO Prayers store, and DR.. Gar

ing toward Market street and toward DR..

when she saw him. She could have seen
any movement by DR.. Baird to draw q

ing Of the kind.

To Col. Arnett, Miss Walton denied she
was "a warm friend Of DR.. Baird's. The
Doctor was their family physician; that
was all. The witness said no one passed
along the street while the two physicians
were there, She did not see DR.. Garrison
pass down. She noticed DR. Baird because
there was nothing else to attract her atten-
ton, and She lust looked at him. She
saw the Doctor get out of the buggy, on
the north side. take the h.tching strap from
his buggy, and drew the end through the
ring

both of them.
This was Col. Arnett's cue for a long
DISCRIMINATION as to how we'll she could

The witness said she could see both. There
was another long examination as TO
whether witness had seen DR.. Baird tie
his horse or not She said he pulled
the trap through the ring and she sup
posed he tied il, but she was not sure.
O.-YOu didn't know that IL was DIR.
Garrison who shot. Al didn't know
that was his name.
Q-YOu didn't know DR. Baird was
shot, did you! Al supposed he was.
Q-Why did YOU suppose so! Ais
movements indicated il. Dr.. Garrison
shot az him. DR.. Baird took two steps, DIR.
Garrison Shot again, and his head fell for
ward. The two steps were toward Prayers.
Hesteuped back towards Main street, when
the hrSt shot was fired, and then turned and
took two steps toward Prayers when the
second shot was fired.
O-Isn'tit true when the shot was fired,
that YOU didn't see what DIR. Baird did, be-
cause, following his gaze, you looked at
DR.. Garrison, Al looked at DIR. Baird
and I saw his hands fall to his sides when
