YESTERDAYS PROCEEDINGS

Humdrum and tame were the proceed
ings of the first day of the trial of
Thomas G. Barker for shooting Rev. John
Keller. They resulted yesterday afternoon
in the prosecution establishing the facts
that Keller was shot and that Barker was
seen running away from the spot whore
the clergyman lay wounded on the side
walk of Midland avenue and Beach street
Arlington, on Sunday morning, February
3. No witness, however, was produced
who saw Barker. positively fire any sho-
The defence claimed to have scored in
yesterdays battle One point was that
Barker did not fire from behind a hedge
because the clergyman had his left side

while the bullet wound is on the right
Another score was that Barker was un
der arrest before he reached the Town
Hall, wnere he wss surrendered, and any
thing he said during that time doesn't
count against him because he wasn't
warned of its consequences as the law
provides he should have been.
The rush for seats for yesterday after
Moons hearing exceeded that of the
morning and the ladies-God bless 'em-
were again in the majority. The way
they swarmed over the court room com

court officers.
what can we do" said one Of them in
despair, when a nice woman with blar-
ney in her tongue comes up to you for
a seat? Some of them are nervy. It's a
wonder they don't climb on the Judges
desk"
Even at this early stage Of the trial
some of the know-'t-alls have settled an-
1irely to their own satisfaction the line of
defense, and Of course they have deter
mined the verdict. It's to be acquittal,
they say, and that's all there is to it.
Judge Nevius sat on the bench a part of
the time this morning and during the af-
ternoon Mrs. Barker ssSs not with her
husband at the reconvening OF court, but
all the other principals were punctually
on hand. Coming through the corridors
of the Court House was no easy matter.
Camera fiends by the score blocked the
passage ready to snap all those promi-
nently connected with the trial One fei-
low had his camera trained on the door Of
the building, and when Barker and Rev.
Mr.. Keller appeared he got them and
walked off triumphant. 1t was hard
work for the lawyers to dodge these men
who seemed to be always cropping up.
Miss Mary Roome, recalled, identified
the photo of her fathers house opposite
which the shooting took place, and
pointed out the window whence she
saw the assault. The hedge. she said, did

minute and precise details. He saw a
man running away with another after
him.
Have you ever been mistaken for Mr..
Barker?" asked Lawyer Wall on cross
examination.
Il couldn't make this mistake was the
reply, and litter went through the court.
What did you see after the pistol
shots?"
Smoke
What else?"
"A black dog running toward me-"
Mrs. Annie Terhune, janitress of the
Kearny Town Hall, said about half-past
eight Bulkley and Barker came to the
Hall and Barker asked if there was any
one in the police court. They went up
stairs where her husband was getting
breakfast. Barker asked her husband for
an officer and they all went downstairs.
What did Barker say in your pres
ence?'
Nothing"

HE said This man has just shot a
man down street and comes to give him

"Object as incompetent, immaterial
and irrelevant"
