Another soldier who went with them testi-
fed on tho trial at Miles City that Baker
shot Mcdonald with q pistol while the lat
ter was resting on n platform in the rear of
the wagon. There was other testimony
that Baker had been up all the night before
md hnd been drinking. Baker himself
testified that Mcdonald. who was a
sergeant had ordered him to hitch up tho
team in the morning but that no could not
do so on account of his condition. He
claims that the sergeant threw him on the
ground several times and then threw him

such force as to be heard by persons 200

he had been confined after the shooting.
With the appeal we're affidavits that the
