was shot he went into Belle Brennan's
and Feeley's room and showed them his
wounded arnl."
Deputy Sheriff Sirois, who accom-
panied the sheriff to st. Louis. was
called, and he went over the incidents of
the trip relative to the subject at hand.
IN the train coming to Minneapolis he
overheard Dugan and the sheriff con
verse. Dugan asked the sheriff how
many indictments had been returned,
and the sheriff had replied that two
men were then in Jail, and that he was
the third. Dugan had also said that
after him for the Harris murder he
would have pushed on to the Mexican
border and entrenched in the mount
aims, where, if they ever found out
where he was, they could never get
him, as the MeXicanS would fight for
him. AT another time Dugan had said
he knew it was never safe for him to
stay where White and Feelev were, as
he knew the business they We're in was
not safe. He did not know he was SO
badly hurt until tue mOrning, when he
found that his shirt sleeve stuck to his
wound. He had shown it to Feeley and
Belle Brennan, saying that a stranger
had shot him.
SirolS then related certain CONVERSE
tlonS which he purported had occurred
between himself and Dugan. Sirois had
! been placed in the cell with Dugan, and
had every opportunity to converse with
him. During his examination by the
prosecuting attorney he related a num-
Der OF things which occurred in the
cell, and which were all more or less
damaging to Dugan's case.
i When Mr.. Davis began his cross
examination he asked:
why were you placed in the cell
with Dugan?"
For nothing" was the response.
"Oh," remarked Mr.. Davis, 'you
were there as an ornament, were you?"
Then he proceeded to chatf the deputy
about the whisky and other turntables
ne had in the cell.
Sirois admitted he had shown Dugan
TWO photographs. one with a inustache
ana II without, covering the lower
part of the picture. One was the
picture Of "Yorkey."
Ibid jim Sheridan visit YOU in the
jail?"
"He did, but only once. He brought
over a half-plnt bottle of whisky and
told me about a prisoner getting away
from the Moorhead sheriff while en-
route TO Saltwater. That's alkthat was
said important"
What interest did you have in this
case, that you began pumping him OIL

"Ihe interest of any other citizen"
Il don't suppose That $1,000. reward
had any effect on you?' sneered Mr..
Davis.
mo. sir, it didn't"
mo! You wouldn't take it if it was
fiungat yOu, would you?"
"NO, sir"
The audience Laughed at this and
Sirois scowled. A recess was taken at
this Juncture, and at 2 O'Clock Sirois
was rut back or the stand. Mr.. Davis
asked again:
Did you know there was a re ward
offered for the arrest and conviction O
the Harris murderers?'
