POINTS TO BUCKLEY
AS RICE'S MURDERER

The preliminary examination of Will

charge of murder for clubbing, shooting
and killing George w. Rice. the nom
union machinist, at Twentieth and How
ard streets, on the evening of October
II, was resumed before Judge Mogan yes
terday morning.
Erline Piatt. the 14-year-old girl who
gave her testimony in chief Monday aft
ernoor. was submitted to more than two
hours severe croSS-eXa aminat ton by ex-
Judges Ferral and Murphy and Attorney
Collins for the defendants, but they failed
to break down her testimony. much to the
qualification Of the prosecution. She
again positively identified Buckley as the
man vino fired the four shots into the
PROSTATE form of Rice after he had been
dubbed by Moran. but again said she
could not identify Moran as she paid no
particular attention to him at the time
of the tragedy. The hearing will be con-
tinued Monday morning.
Moran Donnelly and Duncan seem by
their conduct in court to look upon the
proceedings as joke. They laughed and
smiled at each other yesterday while
their attorneys were badgering the bright
little girl. and when she said she could
only positively identify Buckley they
were jubilant. Buckley appeared to real
ize the seriousness of the situation.
