tilted, however. that Dugan had told

was left-handed. He was asked by the

during The afternoon session. Mr.. Hall
conducted the examination. During
the preliminaries, when the sheriff was
being examined as TO whether any
threats or promises were made against
and TO Dugan when he was arrested at
st. Louis, the jury was excused. Mr..
Hall asked the sheriff:

"Ziegler."
"Did you have other conversations

No, sir. Only when we arrived at
the JAIL"
AT any tine did you make promises
or threats to Dugan?"
IL never at any time made any prom
Use or threat to DugaD or know of any
held out to him."
MIR. Davis then took up the cross
examination. He said:
when you first saw Dugan he was at
the prison at st. LOUISE?
Eyes, sir.''
And when you had the two talks you
mention he was in that placer"
"Yes, sir.''
did you tell Dugan you were an
officer of the law?"
Il think Ziegler did,"
Ibid you not say TO Dugan before he
made these statements that you wanted
him in Minneapolis as witness in the
Harris murder case and that you
thought he was Innocent"
Never"
odd you not tell him you believed
him innocent and would help him all
you cOuld?'
Il never made such statement"
Didn't you say to Dugan while COM
ing back to Minneapolis that you didn't
Know whether Dugan had anything to
do with the shooting or not?"
II couldn't state positively"
Ibid you not say to him at some ii me
that you thought you had some men
here by the lame of White and Reed
who were mixed up in the Harris muir
der, and that you thought he knew
something about the men, and if he
would tell all he knew you would help
him all you cOuld?"
mo, sir; never made any such state
ments at any time"
Eye stated he gave Dugan some
money at the Jail at ST. Louis-50 cents
to get something 10 eat.
Ibid you on that occasion or on some
subsequent occasion give him some
whisky"
mo, Sir.;'
did you see any one offer him whisky
In your preSence?"
~ think the deputy took drink out
OF bottle OIL the train going to Mime
apolis and offered Dugan some, which
was refused"
will you swear that Dugan was not
fed from your private table some time
after coming to Minneapolis"
mo. sir. 1t was without my knowl-
edge II 1t was done"
The sheriff stated that he mentioned
to Dugan in ST. Louis that Dick Reed
and Joe White we're under arrest
charged with the murder of Mr.. Harris.
Jailer Curtis, of the county jail, was
called and stated that he served The first
few meals from the kitchen. He could
not say that the food served at the first
few meals WAS the same as that served
Sheriff Eyes table.
''Well, what did he eat then?" asked
Mr.. Davis. II suppose it was steaks,
chops, chicken, mashed potatoes, pud-
ding. pie, sauce, coffee, tea and milk?''
Eyes, sir"
"Well. after the bill of fare changed,
what did Dugan get?''
'Boiled beef, coffee, potatoes, syrup,
etc.,
Who ordered the change of fare?''
~ think it was changed through
Sheriff Eyes orders"
1t was his impression that the sheriff
ordered the first meals sent to Dugan.
Al this point Sheriff Eye shook his head
NO at the reporters. He also stated
that Reed and Dugan were confined in
the same cell at one time When a pris-
oner is brought in after meal time the
prisoners are fed from the kitchen the
same food as served to the sherlff's
family.
At this point Mr.. Davis submitted the
issue, and Judge Janison declared the
evidence admissible, ordering the jury
to be sent i'll. Sheriff Eye again took
the witness stand.
''Now, Mr.. Eye" said Mr.. Hall, "you
may state to the jury what was SAID by
MIR. Dugan when you first saw him at
St. LOUISE"
''He asked me what l wanted him for.
told him for murder, and asked him if
he would go back with me without nv
obtaining papers from Minneapolis to
take him OH. He asked me how many
were implicated in the murder.
answered four"
Now, Mr.. Eye. what, if anything, did
you say to him at that time?''
81 told him that l thought he was too
old a man to go out with crowd 10 do
this kind of business. l asked him if
he knew Belle Brennan, and he said
that he did not l asked him If he knew
White, and he said that he had known
him some years ago. / then left Dugan
and came back again in about half an
hour. Dugan said that he had thought
the matter over and would go back to
Minneapolis without papers, as it would
get him out of the place he was then in
much quicker. When he came out of
the cell he recalled what he said about
knowing Belle Brennan, and also stated
that he knew White, and had met him
several times during the week he
(Dugan) was in Minneapolis. He said
that he might have known Dick Reed.
but not by that name"
At this moment voice was heard to
eXclaim, You're a liar ~ and in a
twinkling every eye was fl xed on
Dugan, who was very red in the face
after his excited exclamation. When
order was restored the sheriff stated
that he had not stated that point cor

testimony and allow it to come out. He
then said:
