THE PRINCE TRIAL.
Continued from Page 2.

Chief Kizer was stopped again at the
statement of what Capt. Prince said.
CAPT. PRINCES STATEMENT.
Then the argument as to the compe-
tency OF the testimony was technically
argued, Mr.. Thorp stating that the
testimony could not be introduced by
the defense. but he wished to introduce
the end of conversation of which
the first part was introduced by the
district attorney and broken by him.
He urged that the whole conversation
should be introduced. The contention
is that the prisoner and the witness
| had conversation and that the pris-
oner should have the benefit of what
he said for himself since what he said
against himself has been told
GEN. ALLAN OBJECTS.
General Allan said the proposition Is
10 lay on the district attorney some
thing that he did not do. He was argu-
ing the question when the Judge inter-
upted and stated that the Government
ala not question the witness as to the
conversation. but stopped him when
the witness attempted to repeat what
captain Prince hadssaid.f
ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
Chief kizer resumed. He said the
length of the conversation was two
minutes. Chief Kizer was stopped
again on the same question
Chief Kizer said he had not seen
Frince Tor a week or more. He was
at nome sick on leave of absence. He
was unit for duty. There was some
tnins radically wrong with him. Did
not attribute 1t to this matter. Princes
conoition was the subject of comment
Regards Prince as an enemy. Rela-
IONS were not cordial. His condition
was shown by his general demeanor.

said he would not exclude that state

DIR. ]. ]. MILLER.
j. y. Miller, physician, been practic-
ing two years. He performed the au-
topsy on the body Of Cannon Body
had been embalmed. The cause of
death was gun shot wounds. He de-
scribed the entrance and course of the
bullets. The numbers he uses are arbl-
trary.
One in the breast. not serious.
NO. was scalp wound, not serious.
No. passed through the ear back
and down. broke mastoid bone, was
not fatal, in the neck.
No. struck the seventh rib behind
went through the lung and came out
under the LETT arm. That was prob
ably fatal wound.
NO. struck back OF the head. went
through the occipi:al bone. That shot
went through the brain and was fatal.
No. undoubtedly would have pro-
duced death after the shocks Of the
previous wounds.
No. would have caused death in g.
very short time.
DEFENSE OBJECTS.
Mr.. Thorp for the defense objected
TO having testimony from Dr. Miller as
to the probable time of death when
there is proof of the fact.
Judge Waddilk ruled that the witness
might answer the probable time Of
death.
DIR. Miller said the blackness of the
face is due to interruption of cIrcula-
ton. A man so stricken. or wounded,
would die in little while. He could
not live twenty minutes. He might
die in two minutes.
Cross-eXamined, he said that a
mans death depended on his condition.
Some men will live longer than
others. Have read of wounds on the
battlefield. There is no exact measure
of time for death to occur unless the
wounds are alike. The definition of
death was a puzzler. 1t is q lifeiess
condition of all the organs OF the
body. When the heart stops beating
and breathing stops the body is in
death.
Judge Waddill dismissed the jury
men with the usual caution and told
one Of them, in answer to a question,
that they would not be allowed to
read the newspapers.
Court adjourned till this morning at
10 o'clock.
