this idea. I'll report you His hands /
were clutching and he looked wild. l
told him l was going for a walk until
he cooled off. I went out to my rooms
and got my revolver and finally went
back to the office. 1 repeated to Harry
that he must not think of such a thing.
He said it was nothing to kill. He said
he had caused the death of three per-
sons"
I'VE move to have that struck out"
put in Erwin. Denied" said the court.
He said,' the witness continued,
that he had killed two persons in the
east and he had killed third, bHut he
stopped there and would say nothing
more He also said he caused a fire
in the east where the loss was $3.50, 900.
He said he got 81 for doing it, l told
him that if he killed her, she would
haunt him. He said: People may
dream of such things, but if you had any
nerve you would go out and kill some
body. 1t does not make any difference
so you kill some one. Kill a cripple,
it is better for them to die than live
anyway. Go out and kill someone and
I'll give you 800. asked how he would
know that 1 had done it and he said he

object as immaterial." The objection
was sustained, but Adry was allowed to
state that he made a communication to
| Stewart
READY FOR THE DEED.
ION Saturday Harry said: You had
better be a little careful where you are
for the next three or four days. Some
thing may happen 1 talked to him all
could and told him he must not think
of such a thing. That evening he came
to my fiat and said 1 had better take my
wife and go to the theater 1 told him
1 would do as l id pleased. He said
something might happen and that my
wife's evidence as to my whereabouts
would do no good. 1 stayed at home
all the evening. The next morning Har-
ry saw me out looking for paper. He
smiled and asked me if thought some
thing had happened.
Shortly after 1870 on the night of the
murder Harry came to my fiat and
asked me for So. 1 gave it to him and
then he said: You'd better go to the
theater tonight. Take your wife and
go. Something is going to happen He
seemed excited. 1 took him by the arm
and tried to detain him. He shook him
self loose and said: I've nc ID time
to fool Then he asked me to go into
his room about $50 p. m. and see if his
revolver was under his pillow. Then he
: went away. I asked my wife if she
, did not want to go up and make a visi
to my fathers. We went. When VIZ
