&. +. Elliott completed an elabor-
ate and able statement Of the prose-
cutlon'S case to the jury Friday after
noon. The introduction of evidence
was commenced at once and has been
progressing rapidly Very few OBJ
JectlonS are being made by the attOr-
neyS on either side.
The evidence up to this time has
relat d almost exclusively to the
shooting of Patton, the statements
made by him after and before the
shooting, his death and statements
made by Gray to various parties.
III seems that Mcdonald and Pat
ton had a quarrel on the morning Of
May ., 1894 at Anderson Grays house

IN two hours and Kill Mcdonald A.
about 10 o'clock that morning. after
having borrowed two revolyers. Pat.
ton and Wm. McCraig were walking
up the road toward Gray's house
When they came opposite Grav's
hedge, Patton wa shot with a rife
by Mcdonald who was concealed he
hind the hedge and in a dense grove
Craig saw Mcdonald plainly and
recognized him as he escaped through
the hedge toward Ora IS house.
Patton was taken home and died
that night about 900 O'Clock. The
next day a cOrOner's inquest was held.
Inc evidence brought out caused sey-
eral persons to examine the grove on
trays place. Several of them testify
That there were two sets of tracks.
one large, the other medium, leading
to and from the point where McDon-
aid stood when he did the shooting
Heretofore Mcdonald has sworn that
Gray went with him.
PattOn's statements prior to his
death all tended to show that he be.
lieved Gray had caused HIM to be
shot. Gray'S talks with different par.
ties were very contradictory in ac-
counting for the shooting of Patton.
When McDOnald's name was men.
TONED in that connection he stated
that Mcdonald was in bed sick at the
time. To Others he expressed the be.
lief that Patton had been shot acci-
dentally by hunters and tOStilI Others
that PattOn'S brother had killed him.

Unexpected Death

A sad death occurred at Caldwell
Tuesday morning. Anold man named
Jones had been regularly attending
the series Of meetings being held in
that city, aud Sunday night he re.
turned after lchurch TO his boarding
house very much enthused over the
religious work being done, but aside
from his fervor he seemed to be in
his natural mood. That night he
went to bed rather late and next
morning failed to come to breakfast,
but his absence was excused because
of his late hours the previous Dight.
He was not called until near noon,
when no answer could be obtained
from him. Forcing a way into his
room the old man was found cold and
stiff in death, apparently having been
dead for some time.
The deceased has five sons but none
of them lived at Caldwell. They are
all there now save one who lives in
DeS MOines, Iowa. His death was
possibly indirectly caused by over
excitement.

From Daily Mail, WednesdayI

The evidence in the Anderson GRAY
case has been increasing iD interest
the past day or two and has been ap-
parently drawing the coils more close
ly around the defendant.
Considerable interest centered in
the evidence of Irod DodsOn, a young
man who lives half a mile north of
Gray's. He testified that on the
morning OF the killing he went to
Gray'S on an errand and heard a part
of the quarrel between Patton and
Mcdonald; that after Patton left.
Gray and he walked down toward
the road; that Gray said he was going
back to the house, get the gun, have
Mcdonald practice up with it waylay
Patton as he came back and kill him;
that Patton was a dangerous man.
had killed seven men already and
would kill Mcdonald unless Mcdonald
waylaid and killed him first. DOdson
went home and shortly afterwards he
heard several shots near Gray's barn,
and an hour or so later heard one
other shOt-the one that killed
Patton.
DodsOn further testified that Gray
had repeatedly warned him moi TO tell
what he knew, that he could not be
convicted If DOdson would keep quiet.
D0dsOn explained his failure to tell
all he knew at the preliminary by
saying that he was afraid to do so,
that he feared that Gray or some OF
his gang would kill him.
DOdSOn's evidence about hearing the
alleged practice shooting of McDon-
aid was corrObOrated by his father,
j. K. Dodson, who swore that he was
working in the field just north OF
Gray's and heard these shots as well
as the one that killed Patton.
There has been quite a mass Of tes-
timOny relative TO statements made
by Gray about Patton in which he
very freely applied the vilest epithets
and ascribed the worst Of characters
to him both before and after his death,
claiming that whoever killed him
ought to be pensioned. The states
evidence up to date correborates Nc
DOnald's story very closely. One ele-
meDt of weakness in it, however, may |
be the fact that nearly all the witness !
es are swearing to more than they did |
on the preliminary examination. but |
Irod DOdson's explanation that be |
was afraid to tell all at that time may |
not be without foundation, as there |
Is no question that Gray has been
feared more tuan he has been respect
ed by his neighbOrs as a rule.
Other members of the Dodson family
also testified to facts corroborating
the father and IrOd. The daughter |
and one son testified that they saw
two men back of Gray's barn shooting
at target. All of the witnesses have
been very closely croSs-examined and
their evidence shaken more or less. !!
We have not been hearing the evil

giving program was rendered by Mrs
Will Lynch's Sunday school class,
after which the secretary of the
League called the roll of members
and most of those present responded
by adding TO the collection. The sum
0i 5000 was raised in this manner.
Each person who responded to the
roll call was given a picture of Chap
lain McCabe, the Secretary of the
Missionary Society. After the ron
call, Mrs. Lynch'S class served re-
freshments TO those present. 1t was
a very fitting way in which to close
Thanksgiving.

ms morning Thomas Mcdonald
was placed on the stand. He is be-
tween twenty-one and twenty.two
years OF age. He testified tha. he
went to Gray's to work in April 1891
ana became acquainted with Patton.
VINO worked in Gray's black
smith shop The quarrel be-
tween MIN and Patton on Nav ) WAS
caused by remarks Patton made about
ms wife, As Patton left he assured
Mcdonald t1at he would be back in
two hours and kill him, and in any
event would kill him before night.
M;DOnald was sick and went 10 bed
urav came to his bedside with a rifle
told MIN he must kill Patton or Pat.
Ton would kill him, aud had him get
up and 90 down Stairs. GRAY cleaned
the gun and they went out and prac.
tlced with it until Graz was satisfied
with MS shooting. They theL went
down into a thick grove by the way
slde ana Gray located him and showed
MIN just how to shoot and left him
Just AFTER Patton and Craig came into
slght coming up the road. When they
came nearly opposite him. Patton
hoIlced hlm and reached toward his
mp pocket He then shot him and
FASTENED TO the house where he told
tray what he had done and that
Craig had seen and recognized him.
Gray replied that he could easily fix
craig so that he would swear all right
and that they would prove an alibi
for him.
The next day while the inquest was
IN progress Gray came home and told
him that he had testified that McDon.
ala was up stairs sick in bed continu.
Ously from the time Patton left until
after the shooting occurred and in.
Structed him, his wife, Mrs. Gray az d
the children that they must all swear
to the same story.
he also testified in detail about the
Efforts Gray had made to deface the
tracks they had made in going to and
returning from the spot where the
shooting was done.
McDUnald Is now in the hands of
the defense on cross examination. but
stands the ordeal well. He makes a
good witness and tells a sLraightfor.
ward story apparently. Being a CO.
c0nSplrator with Gray. according I'll
his own testimony, the jury cannot
convict Gray unless his evidence is
c0rroborated by other witnesses.
Hence the real battle being fought is
on the cOrrobOrating testimony.
The prosecution will not close its
evidence before tomorrow evening.
and the chances are that all next week
will be consumed by this case.
