There was good deal of conflicting tes- timonv in the Jim Williams case yester- day, which was the third day of the trial. Jim Hanson was the star witness for the government and maintained his story we'll, though it differed in some minor particu- lars with his former statements. He was tlatlv contfadicted, however, by other wit nesses in many important points Yester- day he testified for the first time that he told Paddy Unahootch, one of the men dis charged from the indictment, before the Indians landed from their canoe near the scene of the tragedy, that he was going to kill the white man, meaning Horton. He denied that Paddy protested. Paddy, when on the stand for the defense, corrob- orated Hanson in so far as Hanson's threat went, but said that he then expostulated with Hanson, and took him by the hand, rving, and said, Don't do that; treat him right" Paddy said that Hanson agreed to take his advice, and he was very angry and provoked when he learned of Hanson's awful crime. Hanson was contradicted in many other particulars, especially did all the witnesses who were present at the kill ing testify that Hanson killed the woman. One of the remarkable features of the trial is the straight story told by the Indians. Not one of them has vet been broken down, and only Hanson has his story with change, and the variation has not been great in his case.
 Jim Hanson was the first witness called by the government. He told his oft re- peated story without material change. One of the changes was as to the position in which Horton was standing when he shot him, Yesterday he said he was erect with his gun pointed at him. Before he testified that Horton was on one knee. Hanson contradioted the story told by Johnny Kesh and George White that he. Hansen, had killed Mrs. Horton as we'll as her husband. He stuck to his story that kitchtoo shot the woman. He did not see and did not know that the woman's
 
 had been exhumed
 Hanson was vigorously cross.examined by Judge Crews, who tried hard 10 get him to contradict his story. He only suc- ceeded in laying the ground for impeach> ment in several particulars He tried to get out of Hanson that he had killed men before and that he had been tried for cons hitting crime more than once and convict ed, but the court sustained objections to the questions.
 Marshal Tanner testified as to the dis coverv of the bodies and identified articles of clothing and other details.
 Paddy Unahootch and Dave Clanet made good witnesses for the defense in some particulars. Paddy was not at the scene of the shooting. When asked why he had not told about the murder before, Paddy said that he was afraid of Hanson. Hanson had threatened to kill anyone who told, he said. Hanson said he bore the marks O. white mems bullets and he hated them.
 Dave Clanet was positive that Hanson shot both man and woman. He did not see Jim Williams near the woman. The others ran back toward the water when Hanson surprised them all by shooting man and woman.
 The court stenographer and H. McAlis> ter testified as to the romance in Hanson's testimony in the case on trial and that he was on trial himself in respect to position of Horton when shot. McAlister was the last witness of the day.
 The court house was packed with spec tators.
 The case will at least last all of today. Court meets at o'clock this morning.
