was just entering the front entrance
OF the Merchants cafe, had his hand |
on the door knob. when he heard two /
shots. which seemed to be directly /
over his head. He ran upstairs, turned |
TO his left and went into the first room /
north. There was a number of people /
there at that time. but he did not 1
know how many. Judge Dickson said /
there was man on the floor. and he !
saw them turn him over on his back. /
His attention was drawn to the man |
on the floor, for he wanted to see if |
he could recognize him.

I had no gun Said he, this was re-
peated more than once. and then some /
one said. I do not know how it hap

Sheets with a man standing by him.
The man was saying. I had no gun,
George 1t was the same voice that L
had heard upstairs say, I do not know
how it happened He repeated the re-
mark that he had no gun two times,
while I was in the room. He was
standing 10 my right and 1 did not
see his face. L was somewhat excited
as was natural"
Robert O. Doolin. the second boy who
viii be called to testify at 10 o'clock
this morning. has a curious explana-
ton Of the testimony of the messen-
ger boy. Hume. with whom he has been
assOCiating lately.
Hume read all the accounts of the
testimony at the preliminary eXamina-
ton. and the accounts Of the killing;
/ am positive OF it," said he. and he
IS trying to make his testimony agree
with that Of the police officers and
others. Consequently he is getting in
10 trouble" DOolins testimony is very
similar 20 Humes and they are both OF
about the same age.
