OBJECTED to and withdrawn
Witness said he was at Duffy's saloon
the night before, and Martin Kemp was
not there. Witness did not look from
the porch until he heard shot. When
he looked the man On the pavement
was near the same place he dropped;
the man did not have his arms up, and
was facing the man in the street. Wit
ness knew it was Will Craig who ran
over the bridge, for he saw him when
he came back; but he didn't see the
face of the man who fell off the
bicycle. VIII Craig was brought in
and identified by witness as the man
who ran over the bridge. When the
man started to fall, witness ran to get
IL L.
the man fall into the arms of anyone.
Witness talked to no one on the porch
before he ran over to the scene of the
shooting.
JOHN FLADING.
Witness is a barber at No. Is Six
teenth street He was examined by
Mr.. Meyers. He knew defendants
when he saw them. On the day of the
shooting he saw Johnson and Devinney
coming up Sixteenth street; they were
at the Baer building, at the steps; from
there they came UP Sixteenth street
towards Market. Witness was in the
door of the shop, but went into the rear
Of the shop. Il thought l saw Devin-
ney give Johnson a revolver, in the
middle of the street. l thought John
son put it in his inside coat pocket
There was no crOsS-eXamlnatlon.
LOUIS THEIRS.
Witness is employed at the w. & L.
e. freight house and was there the day
of the shooting. Il was sitting in one
of the front doors facing Market street,
when l heard a couple of shots fired.
The photograph gallery would be
about in a straight line from me. |
heard two reports and looked over.
There were two men on the upper side,
and one was on the pavement by the
gallery. The two above looked as
though they were between the motor
track and the pavement. The men in
the street were north of the gallery
door about seven or eight yards. 1t
looked to me as though they were
shooting at the man on the /tvement,
and he was shooting at them. l saw
the three men fire. The two men, it
sounded to me, fired seven or eight
shots. I could not tell how many
shots the man on the pavement fired.
They came quick, and it would be hard
to say who fired the most. I noticed
the one man the most until he fell. l
was on duty and | did not go over at.
ALL" Witness could not tell which Of
the men in the street fired first; there
was too much smoke to see much about
it.
To Capt. Dovener: Witness did not
see Craig run. Craig was brought in,
but witness did not see him, or a man
on a bicvcle
w. B. M'CARMICHEL.
Witness lived on the Haneytown
pike, mile from Roneys Point. On
the day of the shooting witness was in
the gallery, on the right hand side as
you go in, talking to Brinkmeyer. The
first thing that attracted witness at
tention was shot, and he stepped
back toward the window. Witness
saw a man run in and go towards the
dark room, but where he went l don't
know. | was not near the front door
at any time, but the front door, if |
recollect right, was about half open
I don't know from what direction the
first shot came. When | went to the
door l saw man lying on the pave
ment, but / did not go out at all
When l went out | went across the
street and talked to party, and then
got in the wagon and went home. I
did not see the defendants. l had a
spring wagon, with one horse. To my
recollection the front door was stand
ing about half open.
On cross examination to Capt. Dow
ener, witness said the door opened to
the right as one went in.
JOHN l.. HENRY.
Witness lives at No. 514 National
road. The examination was by Mr..
Meyers. On the day of the shooting
witness was at Sixteenth and Market
streets, on the southeast corner, about
half facing Market street, in front Of
BoadWing & Snider's saloon. Il heard
a shot fred and looked down the
street; | heard some more and started
to run down; | did not go until heard
others after the first; as ! was running
down l saw some men in the street,
and saw man reeling on the side
walk; he had a bandage around his
head; it looked to me as though he
was about three feet from a pole, but |
could not say which one; | could not
locate him with reference to the gal
lery, and | did not see him fail; after
he reeled | did not see him again, and
have no impression as TO what became
of him: l saw men in the street, but
I saw the defendants coming up the
street by the barber shop; | was pretty
close. Devinney had something in his
hand; he was fumbling with some
thing while going up South street. The
