coat Is holding Hayes up" Then he
rushed out again and shot off his pistol
in the alley. Witness started over to
the store with Johnny, and when they
got to the hitching post he looked
through a window and saw a man sit
ting on a stool near Hayes desk, and
John Hayes going to his bedroom. He
also had glimpse of another man. The
people in the store were talking and he
heard John Hayes say very loud. "All
right" Witness then opened the door
and entered the store. The two strang-
ers told Hayes to pass on. They wore
slickers, or gum coats. They had gun
nysacks over their faces. One was a
small and the other a tall man, who
wore white slouch hat. The little man
had a black hat. AS witness got near the
desk John Hayes came from his room
at brisk run with a lamp in his left
hand and pistol in the right. The tall
man said: Stand back" and fired a
shot, and John fell. Witness unlocked
the back door and went out. He did
not see what became of the two men
when he left. When Tom Hayes arrived
witnesses entered the store with him and
saw John Hayes corpse on the floor.

coat: Witness said he had seen a coat
similar to the gumcoat worn by the
small man on the night of the murder.
The other coat appeared familiar to him
too, although it had seemed ye1lower
when seen upon the taller robber. A
White hat, which had belonged to young
Frank Rowland, was also introduced.
To the best of witness recollection the
hat worn by the tall man was of the
same color and similar to it.
Bryant said that he knew the Ming
brothers well, and their size compared
with that of the two men. He recog-
nized the voice of the tall stranger when
he said: Pass on" and stand back"
as that of George d. Mings.
Bryant was subjected to a rigid cross
examination. but was not shaken on
any material point.
The next witness was Johnny Dietzel,
the 14-year-old son of Nine. Dietzel
who gave strong testimony for the
state. The boy is bright and smart, and
even under the close questioning of Mr.
Davis he did not get ratified in the least
He fully corroborated Bryant in all de-
tails, and identified the coats or "slick-
ers" and masks worn by the murderers
Not only that, but he recognized the
voice of the larger man as one of the
Mings brothers. The smaller man was
also about the size Of the other Mings
brother.
Young Dietzel told his story without
break. and as far as such a thing was
possible, fully identified the Mings
brothers as the murderers.
Young Dietzel was still on the stand
at the hour of adjournment. The ex-
animation will be resumed Monday
morning.

Pupils to and From the chiIdren's
Day Parade on Friday

1t begins to look as If the terms under
which the council last summer granted
to l.. #. Scott an electric lighting fran
chise might, after all, be carried out
Scott sold his interest in the privilege
several months ago to T. A. Grant and
Capt. Cross, who now, it appears, have
in turn disposed of their interest in the
franchise to w. S. Wright Of the San
Gabriel Valley bank of Pasadena, who
yesterday filed with the mayor and the
council the following:
II have the honor to report that have
acquired and own the franchise (new
series 292O for electric lighting, etc.
which you granted to L. G. Scott and
his assigns, and that 1 will be ready
to furnish lighting in the city hall as
required in that franchise.
Kindly direct proper officers to no
tify me in which rooms you wish light
first installed and how many lights are
now required"
The consideration under which the
franchise referred to was awarded was
that the city hall was to be lighted free
of charge for period of twenty-five
years. The time in which this IS
to be done expires one week
from tomorrow. There are men,
bers Of the council who are un-
charitable enough to intimate that the
communication of Mr.. Wright is a
bluff" which is to be the basis for a
request that the council grant an ex-
tension of time in which to comply with
the terms of the franchise. Should
this conclusion prove correct the re-
quest will be denied.

will be carried free of charge by the
