were tracks, but SO dim that I could
not distinguish them.
After the inquest I began to trail
the track of a light wagon, which
tracks I had found leading away from
point near Kessinger's ranch. One
wheel of this wagon made crooked or
wobbly track. I followed the tracks
of this wagon to near Blackfoot City,
where lost it, the road from there on
being well travelled Kessinger's ranch
is about two and one-half miles from
where the body was found. I meas

Relative to Roads.
Attorney Trippet cross-examined par
ticularly in regard to the roads in the
vicinity of Culinane's cabin and the
point where the body was found.
"Kessinger's RANCH" said the wit
ness in reply to question, lis south
OF the point where the body was found.
Washington gulch is southwest of the
same place. The road that passes Gull
linane's cabin in going down branches
out in several directions. One leads on
to Kessingers ranch and on past there
to Blackfoot City and thence on. The
other road leads to Washington gulch
and thence on to Avon. By roads run
into these.
II found the wagon tracks south of
Kessinger's house in a field on his
ranch. The gate was open and the
road led past the house I learned from
Mr.. Kessinger of the tracks. Beyond
Blackfoot City could not distinguish
wagon tracks, from there to Ellston
being many tracks.
Attorney Trippet then led the witness
back to finding the blood stains. All
that was brought out was the addition
al fact that in the grass near where
the blood was found he had seen the
imprint of some heavy body in the
grass.
Many questions were asked by Attor-
ney Trippet in regard to the geography
of the country. He asked if there was
not considerable mining camp at
Bald Butte with number of men at
work. The witness replied there was.
He said also road leads to Bald Butte
from near Cullinane's cabin. The wit
ness was asked if there was not quite a
camp away up on the hill above the
Cullinane cabin. Mullin said he did not
know. Then he was made to describe
the location of the several cabins in
the vicinity, Chadwicks, Dotson's and
the others. %t@&

On resuming Deputy Sheriff Joe Daily
was called to the stand Said he on di-
rect examination: II was at Bozeman
the first night after the arrest of these
three men. At that time two rifles, two
satchels. two horses, a wagon and a
lot of stuff in the wagon had been
taken from them The wagon was the
same as that which is now in the Jail
yard here. The horses are now down
the valley at Mr.. Walkers residence.
The wagon is in practically the same
condition as it was at BoZeman. The
gripsacks and other articles were
brought to the sheriff's office in Ana
conda, where the grips were opened in
my presence. A quantity of mems
clothing was contained in the grips"
The grips were offered in evidence as
states exhibits 4 and 5, after being
identified by the witness by a memor-
andum he had pasted on them. The
defense objected to their admission.
The objection was overruled. The de-
Tense then objected to their admission
with their contents. This objection
also was overruled. Exceptions were
noted in both cases.
The witness then identified vest
bearing an A. o. U. w. button and
containing Dotson's diary as having
been taken from the larger grip. DAILY
completed his identification by his own
marks made on the vest. 1t, Invested
of the diary and other articles in the
pockets, was offered in evidence by the
state and was admitted after the de-
Tense had objected and the objection
had been overruled. Mr.. Duffy said
the state would prove subsequently
that the defendant had admitted own
ership of the vest.
Deputy Sheriff Robinson was recalled
by the state. He identified the grips
as the ones he had discovered in the
wagon, had seen at BoZeman, had
checked from Bozeman to Anaconda
and had received here. The same char
acter of cross-examination as that CIV
en- Deputy Sheriff DAILY followed with
out anything new being ELECTED.
On redirect examination Robinson
was asked if Dotson was present when
the clothing had been placed back in
the grips. The defense objected and the
objection was sustained. An exception
was taken by the state. A recess was
taken to 1:30 p. m.
The Afternoon Session.
The drawing of the jury in the Ben
son case delayed matters half an hour,
so it was 2 o'clock when the taking Of
testimony was resumed.

Deputy Sheriff Chapman of Gallatin
county to the stand and questioned him
regarding the exact disposition of the
defendants in the Jail at Bozeman on
the night of Aug. IT,
When on the stand previously" said
the witness, Il said the men at night
had the privilege of the cage into which
their cells opened. In this I was mis-
taken. They were locked in separate
cells while they We're asleep

time?" asked Prosecuting Attorney
Duffy.
