Richard Greenfield was Mr.. Hayes first
witness. He was with Hannun On the
day he met his death. When they sepa-
rated late in the afternoon Hannum was
very laxative, the effect of an over i'll.
diligence in alcoholic beverages. The State
did not question the witness,
Miss ELLA liewett of No, 4l5 West Sec
ond street, was ut the hotel the day he
was killed. She was in th1 kitchen with
Caroline Miller and Mrs. Woods when
HanLum appeared at tho window and
made himself very abusive.
He was intoxicated. The men wanted
him to go away from the window and rs
he would not 90, Mr. Woods was sent for
and ordered the man away, Hannun
then called Mr.. Woods a - ana remark
ed that everyone was down on bin be-
cause he had made II good horse trade.
Mr.. Woods replied that he was imigtnt-
ing Then Hnnnum said no could lick
any - in the house or yard No blows
followed Immediately but rs Mr., Woods
retreated Hannun struck him md kicked
at him. Then Mr.. Woods used his fist
whereupon Hannum picked upa stone.
She did not say the missile was thrown.
Woods then pushed llannum who fell on
his left side. The witness did not hear
Mrs. Woods tell her husbandto pick the
man up.
On the ross.cxaminations Mrs IIewctt
contradicted tho story of tho assault MS
told by the States witnesses
DR.. j. 7. Pyle assisted in the post NOR
tenn examination on fIannum's body. lIu,
like tho other physicians had found u
rupture Of the capillary artery of the brain
which condition might have resulted from
alcohol and tho extreme hot weather. All
organs of the body were tnilrmed. The
doctor saw no signs Of extreme external
violence. There was neither internal ill.,
dicatons. If the Injuries to liannum rs
described had been CAUSED by violence
such was very slight If there had been
violence there would have been fractures
or severe bruises.
When Mr. White took the doctor in
hand he admitted that mans death
might follow blow on the jugular vein
which would cause no abrasion of the
skin. The prosecution was undvayOring
to prove that Hannutu'I death was caused
In like manner. The physician reiterated
the statement that the condition of the
mans body together with tho extreme
neat might nave caused the lhaus o"atN'
DR.. William Z. Malcomb gave similar
testimony.
