the case being so devoid of actual sensa-
ton, that the average Court attendant
finds little to interest them.
II. A. Jorden, the druggist, was called
by Mr.. Trenchard. He gave the record
OF the weather for the 10Th of September.
At O'Clock a. nl., the thermometer was
"a, the weather fair, the wind East. At
O'Clock p. m, the thermometer was go,
the weather clear, the wind south west.
AT p. M, the thermometer was 81, the
weather rainy, the wind north west.
Robert Scott, another of the club house
gentleme', gave almost verbatim the same
testimonyas'offered by Mr.. Hewitt and
the other gentlemen called last night.
DIR. Wlllets, as an expert upon gun
shot wounds, gave testimony to the effect
that man wounded as Carlisle was
could not have spoken after receiving the
shot.
Mrs. VIM. Kimball and Mrs. DeMott
Shaw, and ex-Sheriff BENZ. Shaw said
that they visited Shaw in the jail the
Monday following the tragedy and that
Shaw's face was somewhat swollen.
Walter Carlisle's testimony for the
State was damaged somewhat by the evi-
dence of Harry Davenport, Edwin Ould,
and Benjamine Lore. They said Walter
told them that he had loaned Stultz
Carlisle the iron knuckles with which he
intended to fight James Cossaboon on the
10Th of September. Walter also told him
that it was so dark on the night of the
tragedy at Shaw's house that he could not
see anything, and that he did not know
how the accident occurred. He further
said that he did not see the gun at all.
On cross examination the witnesses
said that the conversation occurred at
Shaw's stable Shaw is related to the
prisoner.
Thursday Afternoon.
When Judge Ludlow said to the Jury
this afternoon, "Gentlemen come in at
nine-thirty o'clock in the morning." all
the testimony in the celebrated case had
been presented.
At the conclusion of the afternoons
trial Laura Silvers, Maggie Bozarth and
Wilhemina Wilson, the girl witnesses,
were discharged from custody, and left

have been killed had he been sober, and
had not attacked Shaw on his own prem
ises. The defense was outlined clearly
and somewhat eloquently by Mr.. Trench
ard, and the telling of the story for
Shaw was begun.
Laura Silvers, perhaps spoke as clearly
and intelligently as any Of the witnesses
who have been called by Prosecutor
Louge.
She told of long and friendly acquain-
tance with Simon Shaw, and on the Sat-
urday of the crime she was at Shaw,s
house in the early evening, and after
ward went back to the club house where
she was employed as cook. She went
back to the club house because she
thought some Port Norris people were
coming there and she did not want to be
with them.
Before the tragedy she met Stultz and
arranged to take drive with him, and
she went to the club house to get excused.
About fifteen minutes later she started to
return. While coming over the dam she
heard the report of the gun when fired
hrst. She Immediately broke into run,
and when the second shot was fired she
was near the gate of Shaw's house. He
had the gun in his hand. She then
noticed Stultz Carlisle in the she'd.
When the fatal shot was fired both men
were upon the shed floor. The flash
OF the gun showed their position to her
very clearly.
Then Shaw went into the house, secur-
ed a lighted lamp and came out in the
shed. Mrs. Silvers told Shaw that Stultz
was dead and Shaw replied mo, he amt
dead, and if he is he done it himself''
Shaw then took the lamp back in the
house.
While Laura was in the shed, John
Hand and Cornelius Welden came up
and she left, going over to the club house
for lantern.
