story which he told at the TWO previous
trials. He and Daniel Broder and Burger
spent Sunday afternoon and evening with

They drank and played games. The wit
ness and Broder left the saloon about mid
night. Burger came to the doorswith them.
out no farther. AS they walked up the
road they looked back and saw Burger
standing at the door. Mr.. Grouse put
the witness through a severe cross ex-
animation. He elected the fact that
Teute knows Broder's address in Lynch
burg, Va. Teute could not remember that
he had said on Intervening after the
murder that Burger and Engelbrecht
took the glass of beer upstairs to Louis
Bauer while he was in the saloon. He de-
MED positively that he said SO in Henry
Engelbrecht's saloon. The defense ex-
poets to prove that somebody heard him
say so. Teute had testified on his direct
examination that after he and Broder left
the saloon Engeibrecht placed a chair at
the door. He had difficulty in explaining
how he knew that as he could not see
through the door, He. finally said that
he heard the chair being placed against
the door. Mr.. Grouse got the witness to
give all the details of his trip through
Virginia with Nike Walsh. Before leav-
ing the saloon on the night of the murder
Teute took off Engelbrecht's Shoes.
Gus De Kline testified to getting two
S. bills changed for Engelbrecht on sun
day evening. The change is supposed to
be some of the money found on Burger.
Christian Nichols. who passed the sa-
loon at 12:15 saw a light burning low
and the door was locked. Juror No. 9
asked him if he had tried the door. The
witness said no. and then the Juror asked
him how he knew it was locked. The
witness did not explain.

between five and six o'clock on Monday
morning in front of Heintzman's saloon.
The saloon was not open. Mrs. Heintz-
