staggered. I saw Coughlan strike but two blows. Then the crowd got up so thick that I couldn't tell positively whether he hit him any more or not.''
 Then attorney Dickey attempted to draw testimony on the prowess of the deceased as a boxer. This was objected to by the state but the objection was subsequently, withdrawn.
 The witness never saw Coughlan in a boxing match and pronounced a man of medium size.
 Location of the Building
 (An understanding of the location of the pavilion and where the shooting occurred will give a clever idea of the testimony. The pavilion is square structure, with a veranda encrcling 1t. There are two ways of egress on either side. Where the shoot ing occurred was between the steps and the end of the pavilion on the northeast corner. The steps at each end are probably twelve to fifteen feet from the ends. The young men began quarreling at the north end of the pavilion near stand where ice cream and other refreshments are kept. This stand Is on the north side running from the easternmost place of egress to the extreme east end. It was through this place of egress that the young men passed just before the tragedy.
 Will Moncrief, a resident of Avondale, was the next witness called
 "I was at East Lake Thursday night, when the difficulty between Cahoon and Cough1an occurred. The first words heard were when Walter Cahoon said to Cough Ian, You wouldn't say that to my brother He said this twice. Coughan said, on, well, don't know guess I could make the remark to your brother Somebody then said, Roll him, Willle.' Cahoon spoke up and said. He would get rolled, If he tried it,, at the same time placing his' hand in his hip pocket. They then went out. The music began playing and l went back to dancing" n@ |
 The cross-examination brought out the remark made by Coughlan to which Walter Cahoon took umbrage. It was to the ef- feet that if he (Coughlan) was that fellow (Cliff Cahoon) who Miss Sullivan refused to dance with he would go to Cuba and soak his head. The witness also testified that Cahoon invited Coughlan out to fghtt Wit ness declared that Cahoon did not say to Coughlan 'tI am nothing but boy and you are a man. can't scrap you.' |"
 The defense tried to prove that the boys who were urging the fight on were from Avondale
 Adjournment was then taken until 2 o'clock.
 The Hearing Resumed
 It was 2:2O o'clock when Justice McAn- nally called his court to order and the hear ing of testimony was resumed.
 The defendant was brought into the court room in charge of Deputy Sheriff Courson and took a seat by his attorney He ap- peared somewhat nervous and moved around restlessly in his chair. Cecil Schweln was the first witness called.
The age-herald., 1898-08-17

Cahoon sat on the railing laughing and chatting with friends. The attorneys for the defense, Messrs Dickey, Altmon and Shugart held a short consultation with their client and the hearing was begun before Justice McAnnally.
 The state did net have a solicitor present and Attorneys Cahalan and Cunningham Hickman attended to the prosecution.
 sIngularly Pateetic Scene
 It was a singularly pathetic scene as the eyes of the audience wandered from Walter Cahoon to Miss Sullivan, the two important actors in a drama, which had for its starting a most trivial cause and for it's ending most deplorable tragedy. Cahoon is a mere stripling with a beardless lace. A boy none would ever suspect of being connected with anything bordering on the sensational. Only F years of age 1t may be that he fired the shot which killed young Will Coughlan from purely a notion of self-defense. If not it is doubtful if he had an idea of the ugly cloud 1t would raise.'
 The eyes of the sympathetic were turned toward Miss Sullivan. who was so inno- gently the cause of this trial. She sat pale
  part in the affair. It was with light heart that Emmie Sullivan left her work in Birmingham last Thursday evening and went to the home of her widowed mother in Avondale to prepare for the dance
 After the states witnesses were caled Attorney Dickey (defense) objected to the calling of those for the defense until the state had announced ready. Attorney Callahan (state) asked for half an hour to consult with his witnesses. When this procedure had been concluded it was past Il o'clock. Then the state announced ready and the first witness. pr. George 5. Brown was called. His evidence in sub- stance was as follows:
 The First Witness
 ..I attended Will Coughlan while in a dying condition last Thursday night. He was in a condition that we call collapse. His pulse was very weak He bore a wound that looked to be a bullet hole in his right side about the eighth rib. The bullet seemed to have gone straight in I predicted that it was mortal wound on account of the bullet having penetrated the liver. He died about o'clock Friday morning from the effects of this woNnd
 Attorney Dickey then took the witness for cross-examnation
 The witness could not tell which way the bullet went in on account of no au- topsy having been held. The defense ask ed this question probably to show the po- sition or attitude of Young Cahoon when the shot was fired. Dr. Brown said that no autopsy was ordered and hence none was made. In his judgment the bullet was either 32 or 3S calibre.
 Miss Emmie Sullivan was next called. She ascended the stand nervously and showed plainly the atrain she had been
