bank it was and did not know the
name of it, though he said he had been
in Butte since 1888. The defendant said
he wore white hat that day and
claimed that he had some underwear
and overshirts in the valise in which
he carried Reagan's clothes, but he did
not know what had become of them.
Ihey became lost in some way.
Did you say you told Mrs. Reagan
that you had intended to send to Butte
for wife after you got to the Occur
d Alenes?"
Yes, sir"
Did you have a wife picked out?"

An objection to the question was sus-
tanned and Lucey did not answer.
rs it not fact that you were to be
married two days after this thing hap

Another objection was sustained.
Were you not to come back to Butte
two days after that?"
mo, sir
Lucey said he left Reagan and Gill;
gan to go to Anaconda for the purpose
of seeing man named John Rogers,
but he did not see him. He went to
Rogers house and it was dark and he
came away and left town without
making any further effort to see him.
The defendant said he was thrown off
the freight train at the placer diggings
at the mouth of Silver Bow canyon
and fell into pool of water on the left
side of the railroad track. The three
men whom he found around a camp
fire went up the track with him to look
for his valise and hat, but they could
not find them and they went up again
the next morning and found the arti-
cles. The men told Lucey that they
were going to Butte and he parted
company from them about ) o'clock.
Arriving at GregsOn Lucey went to
Shiffman's saloon and got a drink and
stayed there for some time. He heard
somebody talk about a body having
been found in the canyon, but he did
not remember going over to the station
to look al the body and did not remem-
Der buying a ticket to Butte and said
he did not tell any one in the saloon
that he came from Anaconda and that
a brakeman there saw him display a
lot of money. He had intended to come
back to Butte to have the brakeman
arrested but he must have changed
his mind, he said, but he did not re-
member whether he did or not. He did
not remember leaving Gregson and
knew nothing for some time until he
woke up by the side of the railroad
track near Stuart He said he did not
remember going into an Anaconda
lodging mouse ana engaging room Tor
the night and did not remember telling
the landlord to leave the light in the
room burning. He did not remember
reading a newspaper and did not think
he read it. Regarding the testimony of
Ed Shea an Anaconda saloon man,
that Lucey was in the company of a
colored man and claimed that he had
just returned from British Columbia
the defendant said he told Shea that
the colored man had just returned from
British Columbia, and it was Shea who
suggested the means of getting rid of
the colored man. Lucey said he had
not heard a word of the death of Rea-
gan during all his wanderings through
the state after he left Gregson and did
not remember reading any papers. He
heard of a body having been found in
| the canyon when he was in Gregson.
He said he did not think that he had
a prior arrangement with Reagan
about taking another man with him to
the Occur d'Alenes, though he had told
him on the day they left that the man
| Coleman was going with them.
The cross examination of the defend
ant had not been concluded when court
adjourned for the day and it will be re-
sumed this morning.
