mony Expected To-day.
The Yanz murder trial in the criminal
side of the superior court was again at
tended by large crowd of spectators
yesterday. YAM occupied a seat be-
tween Mr.. Case and Mr.. Goodhart, his
counsel, and appeared calm all through
yesterdays proceedings.
Harry NJ Nolan, boy who lives in
the neighborhood Of the scene of the
shooting Of George Goering, was the
first witness called yesterday morning.
He testified to seeing the body of Goer-
ing lying in the bushes where the
shooting occurred.
Here Mr.. Goodhart sought to claim a
| conversation which Yanz had with the
boy there, and within ten minutes Of
the shooting, in order to characterize,
as he expressed 1t, the entire conduct
of the accused after the shooting. 1t
was evidently to show that YAM was
solicitous to try to save the life of the
man he had. The conversation was not
admitted
Witness said that there was half
pint whiskey bottle and wine bottle
near the body. Mr.. Yanz was washing
the face Of Goering and he cried out,
Are you there, George?" This remark
of Yanz's was objected to by the state
and stricken out.
Mrs. Mary Tellert, who testified We'd
nesday and who saw YAM going into
the rear of his house after the gun with
which he killed Goering, was recalled.
She visited the scene of the tragedy
Wednesday night to refresh her mem
DRY. She testified that she saw Yanz
some out of the back door with the
gun and go with the gun until he had
nearly reached the scene of the muir
der.
Mr.. Nichols, the civil engineer, who
made the map and went with Mrs. Tel
lert to the scene Wednesday,, at which
time she went over the ground mark
ing where she saw YAM first, last and
at other times, was called. He meas
ured ON the map by scale and showed
where Mrs. Tellert stood, which agreed
with the mark made by Mrs. Tellert
herself
Detective W. ]. Frey of the Dixwell
avenue police station was then called.
The witness has known the accused
since he was boy and was also ac-
quainted with George Goerirg. Witness
said both men worked in Winchester's
factory. Frey picked up the whfskey
bottle the morning after the shooting.
He also saw many other bottles in the
bushes in that vicinity Frey saw the
accused in Shay's saloon on Newhall
street about 4 o'clock. Witness said
the accused was reading a paper and
had glass full of liquor.
Witness was questioned about the
bottles. Attorney Goodhart insisted
upon the jury examining the whtskey
bottle and asked the jurymen to take
out the cork and smell. Each juryman
In turn took the cork out of the bottle
and smelled.
Coroner Mix was called Immediately
after the converting of court at 2 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. Witness testified
to having taken the statement of the |
accused in the police building on the !
night of June 20. Miss Nettie Hogdon +
was the stenographer. Yanz's state
nent to the coroner was that his name
was George YAM; that he was the hus-
Jand of Catherine Yanz.
At this point an objection was raised
and Miss Hogdon was called to read .
rom her notes. Mr.. Case objected TO .
Miss Hogdon giving the testimony be-
cause 1t was a forced statement and
lot a voluntary one. Miss Hogdon was
excused, the court agreeing with Mr.
Ease that under the circumstances the
Introduction of Yanz's statement to the
coroner was improper at this time.
Mr.. Williams asked TO have the jury
excused while the point was being ar
yued. Judge Wheeler ruled on the point
Without argument, admitting the state
nent.
Miss Hodgdon continued reading the
stenographic notes: Yanz was asked
