Here the cross.examination ended,
and o gruesome kind OF laugh went
round whom Henry I. Gage, for the
prosecution, asked witness:

whether Mrs. Emily Craig is alive or
dead?"

Miss Jensen was retired and Albert R.

actual investigation on his part the
premises with their measurements. He
made the diagram that had been sub

ranch.

but think he vent for his coat. Just as
he pushed the screen door open Mr..
Craig shot him. and as he fell Mrs. Craig
put out both arms as If to catch him,
and at the same instant Mr.. Craig shot
her through the screen door. He changed
his position after shooting George by
taking one or two steps toward the
porch before shooting Emily. He had
two pistols, one in each hand. He shot
George with the pistol in the right hand
and Emily with the ons in his left hand.
George fell on the porch outside the
kitchen door while Mrs. Craig fell on
the irside with her feet towards the
door and her head near the stovs."
A diagram showing the ground plan
OF the premises, with the roads. etc., in
the immediate vicinity. was produced
at this point, to enable the witness to
more definitely explain herself.
Just before the shooting Mr.. Craig
was near the window where 1 was. As
soon as he had shot his wife he pulled
the screen door open and stepped over
the body OF his wife into the kitchen.
He held up both revolvers and said :
I've got balls enough here for the whole
family / went to tho door of the din
ing room, and he came up to me and
said: YOU'RE against me, too, and Pm
going to shoot you.' With that pushed
his arm aside and ran through the hall
and front door. Besides myself there
were present Johnny Craig, aged 6,
Willie O., aged s; Edna Craig, aged 2.
and Walter Hunter, aged 8 years.
"At the time OF the shooting some of
the children were in the psrlor and 9TH
ers In the kitchen. ran out OF the house
and did not see them again until
reached the Asa Hunter ranch"
This ended the direct examination OF
Mise Jensen. Under cross examination
no new points OF material interest we're
elioited. She explained that she had
lived in the county about Is months,
coming here from Utah. II am not
related to the Hunters" she said, but
my sister married Mrs. Hunters BROTH
or. came out here with George Hunt
or and his wife. Mrs. Craig had been at
the ranch with the children since April.
l emily saw Mr.. Craig out there once to
see them. and that was at least g month
before the shooting. He brought man
with him in his buggy. and was at the
ranch about an hour visiting the chill :
dren, who were out about the ranch with
him. He talked with his wife at that
time. After that Mrs. Craig took the
children to San Francisco and was gone
about five weeks. / am sure this visit
OF his was before sne left for San Fran
cisco. / saw him again on July 25th.
His wife said nothing when she
screamed, but took the children to the
parlor door and told them to 60 into their
grandma's room.
"When George came in he went to the
room he had formerly occupied. There
is bureau there and the door was open
when Mr.. Craig came in"
The witness proceeded to stste that
che had heard George and the defendant
talking but could not distinguish their
words. This was before Mrs. Craig
opened the door to admit George Hun

About 8 O'Clock on the evening of

talked with him. Yesterday morning
Captain Gross, who lives near the place

THE JURY DISAGREED.
TOM SMITH WILL HAVE TO BE
TRIED AGAIN.
The Attorneys IN Both Sides Max Q
Strong Argum msnts-Tho Jury
Delibsratos for Over
Two Hours.

The jury which listened to the trial of
Tom Smith before Justice Austin, for
battery upon Judge r. A. Ling. dis
agreed last night aud was discharged. 1t
stood se ven for acquittal and i've Tor
conviction.
The case was set for trial again on
November 28th. commencing at 10
O'Clock. The jury was out two hours
and half last night.
Smiths lawyers set up defense on
the ground that Ling was cunning for
Smith and that upon meeting accident
ally, Smith thought it would be better
to lay Ling out than to wait and be laid
out himself. Consequently he blazed
away with his ist-nature's weapon.
His attorneys, Messrs. Brooks and
Hotchkiss, both made strong pleas for
him and their words had evident effect
upon the jurors.
The arguments of the attorneys for the
prosecution were also strong and clear,
and the case when it comes to trial
again, will evidently be fierce one and
possibly more bitter than the one just
held.
