His Evidence as Given in
Court
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
He Did Not See Hoffman and
Did Not Know He
Was Shot.

Woodstock, VT, July 9.-The trial
Of Frank Shaw was resumed Saturday,
Mr.. Davis, the respondents counsel,
outlining the case for the defense. He
conceded that the respondent left Jail,
but did not do any actual breaking,
that was done by his father. The tes-
timony Of the State as to Shaw's ap-
pearing at the several houses would
not be contradicted. The incidents
preceding the shooting were substan-
TALLY as told by Sheriff Spafford but
the respondent did not have his gun
at his shoulder. He was ready to sur
render and if it had not been for un-
due haste on the part of Hoffman the
shooting would not have occurred.
Frank Shaw took the stand. He
said that he did not break Jail. Dus-
tin Shaw told him there was a way
out, and they escaped. He secured a
gun at Barnard for the purpose of
shooting game. He was in camp in
Stockbridge when he heard the break
ing Of limb and Sheriff Spatford ap-
peared, whom he recognized. The
witness had his gun raised to his hip,
with his finger on the trigger. Dus-
tin Shaw also picked up his own gun.
Spafford said "Hullo boys" and the
elder Shaw made a similar response.
Spafford and Dustin Shaw both said
don't have any shooting.
The witness heard a voice say
"Drop that gun or III bore a hole
you,a' bat sa7s,sno ona. Al
instant later a bullet whizzed past his
face. He jumped and bis gun acci-
dentally discharged. Spafford then
fred and both Shaws started on the
run.
The witness first learned at Middle.
bury that Hoffman was shot. In the
fight at Middlebury the witness said
John Bosely fired the shot that struck
his arm. He did not hear the COM
mand to surrender at that time. Cross
examination was then begun by MIR.
Stickney, when court adjourned till
this morning.
