Conroy then continued towards Wash. ington street. They went around the alley and saw the form lying in the rear of the railroad office. match was lighted and the body was recog- nized as that of J. H. Miller. The body was lying on the right side with the legs partly drawn up. The pistol was about foot or fifteen inches in nortwesterly direction with the muzzle pointing towards the body. The head of the body was about four feet from the railing and was lying in pool of blood. The body was attired in vest and pants with no coat. Mills said that he and bis companions remained there about two minutes when Conroy and several others came up; Conroy was talking with Officer McClarty about having the body removed
 The testimony of Geo. Mintz and W. Gregory was substantially the same as that of Mills.
 Frank Cox testified to taking some papers from the vest pocket of the body with the intention of giving them to MT. Honshell but instead handed them over to the coroner when the body was removed to the Lndertaker's.
 Kinney Buford stated that he had picked the pistol from the ground but laid it down aga1n.
 A. W. Brown offered the same testi- mony as that of Mills, except that he lighted @ match also, and was behind Mills and the other newspaper men when they found the body.
 Officer McClarty testified 10 taking the pistol away from Tom Mailoy when that individual picked itup. He marked the pistol and took it oyer to the sher if 's office. He identified the weapon shown him as the one he picked up.
 E. M. Doris on the stand said that Miller had called at his store on the 24th of June last and purchased 38-calibre revolver, stating it was for use in the office. He put it down on his books as Smith & Wesson revolver. About three weeks later Mir. Conroy called and asked if Miller had purchased pistol. Upon receiving an answer in the afirma- tive he paid Doris $4 5O;for the weapon. Witness was shown the weapon and thought it was the same he sold Miller, except it was more rusty. He thought the gun he sold Conroy was Smith & Wesson, but the weapon shown him was ot the Harrington < Richardson pat tern. The two makes of weapons are about the same and he judged from that that 1t may have been the reason of his mistake.
 Mike Smith of the N. & P. railroad company said that Miller had offered to sell him pistol about the last of June. He showed the revolver 10 witness, who said he had no use for gun and would not have such rusty pistol. Miller then put the weapon back in his pocket.
 James Daley, bartender inithe Ca binet, testified to Miller being in the saloon a few minutes before the shots were fired. He said Miller had shaken dice several times and had taken about four drinks. Conroy and two or three others stepped in the saloon and Miller invited them to drink. Conroy appeared to be try ing to persuade Miller to go home. Mill Ter insisted on Conroy having another drink. Greenleaf, who entered with Conroy, went out again, and Miller started for the rear door, followed by Conroy, who was trying to get him to go to bed. Miller staggered several times as he was going out. While in the saloon Miller invited MT. Coon to go to Maricopa with him in the morning on a special train. As Miller was going out Daley said he told him to come back next Saturday night and he would per- haps have better luck shaking dice. Miller's reply was: "You will not see me next Saturday night"
 R. A. Chandler, also barkeeper, stated that he was standing at Esch mans corner when the shots were fired. Fearing that he would be hit by stray bullets, got behind a telegraph pole. Met Mr. Conroy and asked him who did the shooting but didn't get any an swer.
 Chas. Larsen. 8 drug clerk, stated that he was standing near the alley next to Fuqua's stable near Center street when he distinctly heard the cry of "Help! Helpr" followed immediately
 by the pistol shots. His wife who was
 sitting on the veranda of the Windsor
 house a few feet distant, asked him
 what the shooting meant saying that she heard some crys. The distance
 from where Larsen was standing when
 the shooting occurred was about 400 feet.
 After Larsen's testimony the jurors
 requested that MT. Conroy be brought
 into court to give his testimony. At
 the request of Messrs. Kibbey, Williams
 and Street, District Attorney Millay
 stated that Conroy was not in condition
 to be brought into court just then. The
 refusal to have Conroy brought into
 court occasioned considerable wrangling
 between the attorneys and the jurors
 who were very anxious to have the
 testimony all in before adjournment.
