Or. Wood described the app arunce o
Lurbecr, and the operation following
his reception OF T,orbeer at the hos pltaI
| lie stated that he had stitched up
large number uf holes In the large In
testines. The intestlnes were cut ven
badly, and found hole into the kldne,
which was stopped. Lorbeer was sC
weak by this time that he could mo-
stand mucn more, and the abdomina
cavity was Immediately closed anc
stitched up. Lcrbeer lived but ffteer
minutes longer. Dr. Wood also descrlb
ed the finding of the fatal bullet dur
ing the post-mortem examination.
Were either OF the wounds yot
found on Lorbeers body necessarily
fatal?" asked MIR. Cathcart.
II found two more wounds in the In
testines, two in the stomach, and the
kidney was very badly laceraIed and
torn. Judging from my examination
can state that death was due to these
wounds. The wounds in the stomach
and kidney / consider mortal wounds
under any condition"
Prom the appearance of the wounds
would you say that the revolver was
held close to the budy?' asked Mr.. An
drews.
From the powder stains should say
that the pistol was held close, say at
arms length or less"
With DR.. Woods testimony the pros
ecution rested.
DEFENSE'S STATEMENT.
Attorney Thompson gave the state
ment for the defense. He told of the
controversy with Cabral on the engine
! In the progress of which Cabral used an
topprobious epithet. After that he went
to the car where he lived ana break
tasted with man named Dodds. Bar
ney invited Dodds to go to the picnic
with him, and together they examined
Barney's revolver. and suggested that
at the picnic they might do some shoot
ing at a mark. Afterwards Barney
went out and met Cabral; he struck
him and the boy ran to Lorbaer. Lor-
beer asked Barney what he had done
to the boy and then struck Barney. He
struck him not only once, but many
times, dazing him and nearly knocking
him over. Barney felt IL sharp pain in
the breast and thought he was stabbed.
Lorbeer kept on striking him, and in
defense of his life he drew his revolver
and shot.
George Dodds, timekeeper at Kahulu
plantation, told of his visit to Barney
early on the morning of the shooting:
that he breakfasted with Barney, and
was invited to go to the picnic with
him.
Did You see Barney's pistol?" asked
Mr.. Andrews.

kind, but l don't remember that any
thing was said about any use to which
it was to be put that day"
did you go out with Mr.. Barney
afterwards?"
Yes"
"Tell what you saw"
LORBEER STRUCK BARNEY.
There was a Portuguese standing
out by the roundhouse and Barney
went up to him and struck him. The
Portuguese ran across the tracks and q
train which was backing down came
between them. A man was standing on
the rear end and he reached down and
struck him."
"on the body or the face?"
In the face"
with his open or clenched fist ?"
His fist was closed. Then tn. man
jumped off and followed Barney, strik-
ing him once or twice In the face. Bar
ney was backing away from him, and
the other man, Lorbeer 1t was, followed
him. Then l saw Barney reach for his
gun and shoot Lorbeer jumped on
him; there was second shot, and that
was all l saw"

case; you came simply because you
were subpoenaed?"

Barney" asked Mr.. Cathcart, cross

pie"
