JACKSON, Oct. 17.-There was a sensa-
ton developed in the Tovey murder trial
to-day. Detective Hume was here, sum-
moned as witness for the prosecution.
He has never been satisfied of Evans
guilt, but on the contrary is firmly con-
vinced of his innocence. During the ex-
animation of G. f. Dyer, Hume took the
chair by the side of the defendants at
torney, doubtless for the purpose of sug-
gesting questions for the defense.
District Attorney Rust asked whether
Mr.. Hume was enrolled as assistant
counsel for defendant. Thereupon Hume
rose to explain to the court.
Judge Davis at once stopped him, re-
marking that none but attorneys could
be permitted to address the court. He
might offer an explanation through his
attorney, but not personally. The Judge
further stated that Hume had the right to
sit anywhere in the courtroom, and that
the District Attorneys remark was un-
called for. Hume at once took his hat
and proceeded towards the door.
Attorney Spagnol said he was inside
the bar on his invitation, and called to
him to return. Hume replied that he de-
ciined to remain in the courtroom and
left. He refused to enter the courtroom
again except on mandate of the court.
Dyer testified that the day before the
murder, while proceeding toward lone,
half mile from the scene of the murder
he noticed man cross the road and hide
among the bushes a short distance from
the road. Five or six days after the kill
ing, travelling by the spot again, he
thought the suspicious character he saw
before might have had something to do
with the crime. He went to the place
where the man was seen and found a Pc
culiar pipe. He identified Evans as an
sWering in every respect the looks of the
man he saw.
The pipe picked up was identified by
two witnesses as having been owned by
Evans shortly before the murder.
Fred BOire, a sheepherder in San
Joaquin, testified that he was frequently
at the Rook place, near CamaDche, where
Evans made his home prior TO the MUIR
der. He was brought forward to prove
that Evans was away from the Rook
place on the 18th and 18th OF June, the
latter date being the day of the killing.
He swore, however, that Evans was not
away on those days; that about the time
Tovey was shot he was hoeing corn at
Rocks and saw Evans there; that he did
lot leave there until the Sunday follow

ted that he told District Attorney Rust,
in the presence of witnesses, that Evans
was away from Rocks on the 14tn and
10Th. He had told Sheriff Thorn so in the
first place, and repeated the statement to
others last week, and this statement was
reduced to writing by the District Attor-
ney. He gave his testimony reluctantly.
When pressed, he said what he told the
officers before was untrue; what he testir
fed TO to-day was true.
In the cross-examination, he said that
Sheriff Thorn had told him he would
give him 500 if he would say that Evans
was away on those days. 10 the prose-
cutting attorney he admitted that the
promise of hundred dollars was made
after he told Thorn Evans was away, and
that money was mentioned only on con-
dition that he would adhere to the truth.
The testimony of money Overtures pro-
duced painful impression. The court
room was crowded during the trial. Not
one-third of the witnesses have been
called so far.
