IDENTIFY expected . reversal OF OPINION
On this basis, but he was disappointed.
for Dunsmoor promptly asserted that
such injuries might easily have result
ed, even under such circumstances as
Mr.. Erwin assumed to have existed.
Erwin was rather taken back at this
declaration, and he gazed at the wit
ness in that peculiar questioning way
of his for some moments.
"That is your opinion?" he inquired.
1T certainly is" said DR.. Dunsmoor,
emphatically.
Tho Bullet Could Have Doue 1t.
In reply to question of Mr.. Hall the
doctor said that the fractures could have
resulted from q bullet wound alone by
expansion, even though there was no
apparent connection between them and
the bullet wound.
DR.. Dunn gave testimony that was in
every way corroborative of that given
by his predecessor, and the state had
succeeded in giving hard knock to the
theory that Blixt battered his victim
with the steel rail.
Ernest Gamash, almost disabled by
recent accident, was helped to the stand
and testified that at 7 o'clock on the
evening of Dec. 8 he and his brother
cha,ed George Grindall under the stone

Mrs. Adry Hayward was called and
asked regarding the whereabouts OF her
husband on the night of April q, when
Harry claims his brother held him up.
Mrs. Hayward testified that on that
night she and her husband were riding,
going out after o'clock, about the
hour Harry claims the holdup occurred.
She was positive as to the date, as she
had read in the papers of the holdup
and remarked to her husband that "We
were riding; we might have been held
up ourselves
Adry Hayward was then called. He
testified that he aud his wife were rid
ing the night of April ~. He got the
rig about 9 o'clock and they drove about
an hour and a quarter, leaving Mrs.
Hayward at his home at Thirty second

Harry a Rapid Eater.
Mrs. Mary E. Mathes, a sister OF Mrs.
Adry Hayward and a boarder at 6 Thir-
tenth street, where Harry ate the night
of the murder, said that he came within
few minutes after Z, ate only a little
soup, rejected the dinner course, and,
she thought, only looked at the dessert.

her husband remained few minutes
longer and then went to their rooms,
arriving there at 7:3O. She recalled the
time because she was going to her
fathers to celebrate his birthday.
Harry had testified that it was 1922
when he left the diningroom and that
Mr.. and Mrs. Mathes were both there.

to pick up stick Of wood that had

stopped Miss Cling almost ran over him,
and checked her horse within two feet
Of him. The old man knew the lady by

cross.examination could shake his testi-
mony. G. B. Dickens, proprietor of the
West hotel livery stable, corroborated
