| who told him Reagan was waiting for
| them at Stuart, and they walked back
| TO that place. Lucey denied that he
hired "a. room from Finley ait Anaconda,
| and said he had never seen the man
TIL he saw him in the court room
Lucey and Gilligan went on to Garri-
son, where they met man from the
Occur d'Alenes, who told them they
We're expecting to have trouble there
and persuaded them not to go TO that
country, so they went on over to the
Gallatin valley, and asked man who
was running a threShing machine for
employment, but didn't get it. He then
went to Bozeman and from there to
Billings, where he remained three or
four days. Gilligan got a job on
threshing machine in Gallatin valley,
but he caught up with Lucey at Bill
ings, and the two accompanied some
coal miners to Wyoming, where Lucey
worked awhile in the coal mines, and
from there he went to Deadwood, Den
yer, Leadville, Victor and Cripple
Creek. and was arrested at the lat
ter place. He worked in the mines at
Leadville until they were showed in,
last February.
The last time he saw Reagan the lat
ter was in companywith Gilligan in the
Great Northern saloon. Gilligan was
man about feet 10 inches tall, and
the witness is only feet 7l2 inches.
Relative to the pants which disap-
peared in jail, he said they were ripped
and he asked Jailer Walsh for new
pair, which were given him, and he
then threw the old ones on the rub
bsh pile, and he did not see them
again until a search of the jail was
made and they were found in another
cell. He did not know who cut them
up. The defendant denied that he was
in Rocker on the night of September 2
as testified to by witnesses. He knew
nothing about leaving Gregson, and
said he was not a drinking man, but
took a drink occasionally.
That concluded the direct eXamina-
ton. On cross examination by Mr..
Connolly the defendant said he was
born in County Cork, Ireland, and was
SO or 80 years old. He came to this
country at the age of II, where he en-
listed in Company D, 18th infantry, of
the regular army, and served two years
and eight months and deserted in 1885
at Fort Wingate, N. M. He went to
Gullup in that territory. Mr.: Connolly
tried to trace the defendants career
from that time on. but the court sus-
tanned an objection to the question.
Lucey said he first came to Butte in
1888, and denied that he had ever been
convicted of a felony. Mr.. Connolly
asked him if he had been employed
during certain dates and Mr.. Cason
objected because he Thought it was an
attempt to show that Lucey was IN Jail
at that time. The objection was over
ruled.
The witness was again asked if he
had worked between Feb. s and May 80,
1898. He said he did not.
Where were you between these
dates?'
The objection was sustained this time
on Mr. Cason's statement that he was
sufficiently familiar with Mr.. Lucey's
history to know that it was sought to
be shown by the question that he was
in Jail for misdemeanor at that time.
The defendant said he worked up to the
day he was to start with Reagan for
the Occur d'Alene. He had not seen
Reagan for some time prior to that
date. He met him that afternoon and
told him he was going that night and
Reagan said he wanted to see the coun
try and go with him. He said he had
over $500 in the bank, which he intend
ed to draw out and take with him. He
got to the bank too late and then Dor
rowed $25 from man named Donovan,
and Lucey told him that if he got short
! he would divide up with him. Lucey
said he accompanied Reagan to the
bank, but could not remember what
