one more. With one exception, circus
day. the court room has been crowded
with spectators at all times during the
proceedings, but. strange as it may seem
not many have expressed that sympathy
for the prisoner which usually crops out
IN the hoi polloi for one charged with a
grave crim They appear to have sus.
pended judgment. SO far the evidence
introduced in the case has been purely
circumstantial, but it is not by any means
weak. In fact, the state is making a bet
ter showing than many persons suspected
it would. Like the Durrant case in Cali
fornia, all that is lacking to complete the
chain of guilt is an eye witness to the
deed.
The first witness called when the trial
was resumed today was Art Whicher. a
reporter for the Miner. He stated that he
had seen Lucey on April q. Lucey vas
then in Jail, and had sent for him in or
der to refute a statement made by the
Standard to the effect that he had been in
British Columbia. Witness said Lucey
told him he had never been in either CAL
ifornia or British Columbia, and had sep

statement accredited to him that he had
said he never knew one Leary, whose
dead body was found in Silver Bow can
yon a little more than two years ago.
Ted Shea Of Anaconda said he had
known the prisoner by the name of Dan
Sullivan; that on Saturday. two days
after the body of Regain was found, the
defendant and a colored man had entered

ness and Sullivan shook hands, as they
had known each other about two years.
Shea asked the defendant whence he
came and the latter answered British
Columbia" He said the colored man had
been following him around all day and
he wished to get rid of him. Sullivan
quietly told witness to step to the rear
door n call him away so he could give
the colored man the slip. and Shea did
so. The colored man Their went away.
Shea further said he noticed that one of
Sullivan's cheeks was scratched. Sulli-
van picked up a copy of the Inter Noun
tain containing an account of the MUIR
der and read it. After finishing the ar
ticle he studied a few minutes and then
left the place, telling witness he would
return. After Sullivan left witness said
he read the article in the Inter Mountain
and concluded that his friend Sullivan

the mar replied that he would not be a
stool pigeon. Later witness got a boy to
relieve him and went in search of Sulii-
van, but failed to find him.
Martin Pishkur, one of the jailers at
the county Jail, stated that he had known

He discarded these in the Jail, and when
witness heard Of 1t he searched the Jail
and found them secreted in one of the
hunks. The torn leg had been cut off and
put out of the way.
Chas. C~openharve of the Standard also
testified giving the details Of two CONVEX
sations he had with Lucey after the lat
ter's return from Colorado.
Michael Regain. a brother OF the nan
whom Iucey Is alleged to have killed was
some questions regarding his
brothers clothing and the time he left the
city.
The calendar for 1898 was offered in
to show that the Saturday ON
which Regan's body was found was the
Bird of September. This was lone because
Ted Shea had stated that Lucey was in
on Saturday, two days after
the finding of the body. The articles Of
in Regan's valise were also ad-
in evidence. When they were Of
fered an objection was made by the de-
PENDANTS attorneys, but 1t met with sup !
preston from the judge.
T.. MerWin. the conductor Of the paper
train which left Anaconda on the morn
Of September 3. testified that he was
sure No one had been thrown from the
train between Anaconda and Butte. Ask
Ell If he knew the prisoner. Merwin look
ed at Lucey and said he believed not.

MerWin also testified ahat he had never |
thrown a man from a moving train on the |
line or assisted in an assault on one. To
the best of his knowledge no one outside
Of the crew was on the train that morn

r. Spettique, one of the brakemen on
the paper train eastbound, who also acts
as messenger on the westbound passen-
ger, testified that he was one of the crew !
on the former train on the morning of
September 3rd and no one had been

Hector McMullen, the other brakeman

OF having thrown Lucey off in
the canyon, said he was sure no one had
been molested on the train on the morn
ing in question.
With the exception OF one witness,
