EVENING SESSION.
"My name is James 2. Turner,
age, 36; residence. Grangeville; oc-
cupation, miner. Am slightly ac-
, quainted with defendant, James
Long. Had a conversation with
him on, think, August %, 1899,
in regard to a difficulty he had
} with G. NJ. Larrabee, now deceased.
l know when defendant wounded
Larrabee in this way by others
telling me. l know the ,'ate that
he received his wounds, Gr therea-
bouts. 1t was after he received
the wounds that / had the CONVEX
sation with Long which men,
toned. 1t was on the same day,
about 7 o'clock. We talked about
other matters not connected with
the case. 1 first asked Long for
the knife. He said, Il will give
you all the knife have. He hand
ed me knife. 1.-TWO knives were
placed before witness from which
he selected the smaller, a pearl
handled pocket penknife. "This
is the knife he handed me. / said.
this is not the knife you had; he
answered, that is all the knife
have; you can search me- and L
did 30 and that was the only knife
l found. 1t is in the same condi-
ton it was then. That was all
the conversation we had about the
matter except that he wanted to
know what was going to do with
him. told him put him to bed
until he sobered up. That was the
last | saw Of him that night. UpI
to that time he had told me moth.
ing as to why he cut Larrabee,
but am not positive whether it
was that night or next morning he
said Larrabee had struck him
twice and he was just defending
himself; nothing else that evening.
| can't identify this other knife. |
l did not give this knife to the
deputy sheriff with the other one. |
The other knife is the only one | |
found on him. Long spoke to me
the next morning after the times
| have recited. He said. thcv
tell me that Larrabee Is pretty bad
off, and l am sorry the thing hap
pened, but it could not be helped
and he asked me what to do: come
out and give himself up, or stay
there and see how he got along.
l told him that he might as well
wait and see what the result was.
He said, i don't much like to stay
here, not being armed and Wash
burn threatening to kill me-. II
told him he would be perfectly
safe in that respect. He said, If
you think Washburn won't harm
me, I'll stay. There was nothing
else at that time. When l searched
hun ! searched him thoroughly, |
think He did not say that this
was the knife which he Gid the cut
ing with, but that that was the
only knife he had.
This ended the direct examina-
ion for the State.
