ana told how he brought 1t to the county
COURTHOUSE and put II I'm the yard.
CASUAL EXAMINATION
The vehicle had been examined in n
casual manner, he said. by five or six
persons, and he thought II possible they
were looking for the bullet hole. He
supposed It had remained I'm the yard
twenty or thirty minutes and he did not
know how many people examined II, for
he was not presnt all the time.
Mr.. w. b. Bradley. OF Manchester, said
he had been connected with Charles F.
Moore I'm the building business for about
ten years, and that Mr.. Moore had been
his managing foreman I'm the construc-
ton OF the Siegel building, and generally
went to that place anywhere from to .
o'clock The reason he did not 20 out
earlier on the morning Of the killing was
because he had TO go by w. s. Donnan
& Co.'S and also by another place to see
about some sash and blinds.
After some further questions Mr. Brad
ley was asked whether Mr.. Moore car
ried a pistol.
I'm all my experience with him never
knew him TO carry one" said Mr.. Brad
ley Like all carpenters. Mr.. Moore
was accustomed to carry a peculiar
shaped knife about three inches In
length"
Mr.. Bradley and counsel for the de-
fence raised considerable disturbance
between them. the former endeavoring
to get in what others had told him and
the counsel as persstently endeavoring
TO keep IL out"
Mr.. Bradley declared emphatically that
Mr.. Moore had never carried a weapon,
nd nd al to tAIf .l.t A.1
OF his knife. but was cut of Mr. Moore,
he said. was not drinking man, ana he
had never seen him under the influence
OF liquor In all his cxperienc with him.
Mr.. Bradley had stated that Mr.. Moore
was accustomed to get to the Siegel
house between and Q O'clock. while he
himself never got there before about
nocn.
Mr. Wendenburg. after sharp con.
test, got Mr. Bradley to say that he only
knew OF Mr.. Moores movements By hear
say
NOT so EARLY.
Mr. Albert A. Wells was again put on
the stand and testified that Mr.. Moore
generally got TO the Sleyel building about
10 or II o'clock. and only once or twice
as early as . o'clock.
Sheriff Simon Solomon who saw Moore's
buggy while IL was I'm the yard on the
occasion OF the preliminary trial. was ex-
amined as tC whether an examination
ha' been made Of the vehicle. He stated
ths parties had walked around the bug
gy and slooked at IL. but that. so far as
he knew, no one had thoroughly ex.
amined IL or looked beneath II.
IL was O'Clock when Mr. Solomon
concluded his evidence. and Mr.. Monts-
81 hns ~. la
pected 10 put one more witness on the
stand-Mr. Howell Clayborn. but that
they had so far been unable TO secure
his presence. The next step. he said.
was for the jury to examine Moore's
buggy. which Ii was too dark 10 do at
that time.
In view OF these facts. court was adj
journsd until II o'clock this morning.
when an examination Of the buggy VIII
be made and one witness will testify for
the Commonwealth.
The prosecution will probably conclude
its case in about an hour. AMI the de-
fence will have an inning. Their case.
Il IL said. will be conducted along the
same lines as before. but II Is probable
that II the character Of the dead man
IL attacked again that the Common
wealth.. will produce testimony In re-
buttal.

concluded before, Wednesday Of next
