where he saw Lund and Shepardsol
coming. Then he went upstairs. H

wounds He put on the same Goa
that he was wearing in the witness
stand Beatrice found a hat in his
room Witness was shown a hat, bu'
did not think it was the same Beatrice

but he could not Identify it.
| The first that the witness saw of Of
ficers Flynn and White was in the
kitchen bedroom Flynn had discover
ed the shoe, and he asked the witness
and the defendant if it belonged to
| anybody in the house. The shoe was
handed to Mr. Fosburgh. He said that
he thought it was the same shoe, the
a hpjney n
tification. He never had seen the shoe
before the night of the shooting.
On the subject of what had been done
to detect the burglars. Mr.. Fosburgh
spoke of employing four detectives, He
offered a reward of $500 for the arrest
of the men, and the offer still holds. He
remembered that the city also offered a

DO you know Of an offer of a reward
through Police Chief Nicholson -
Yes, he was authorized to print cir
culars, etc.
He said that the men had pillow
cases over their heads for masks, and
that one of the men was taller than the

District Attorney Hammond began
his cross examination of witness in re-
gard to when he first saw his son, Rob
ert S. Fosburgh. He declared that it
was when he passed through the hall,
and stepped into the kitchen bedroom.
He had no recollection of hearing pis-
tol shots, either one or more. Asked
when he first saw James, his son, he
recalled that it was when he entered
the room where his daughter May was
lying. At no time did he see three
men or hear a third man. He had an
idea that there was a third man from
the fact that some one held a light be-
hind the two men in the hall, or It least
things gave him the impression that
there was third man.
In response to various questions by
Mr. Hammond Mr. Fosburg said in sub
burgh and he observed that her night
dress was torn He had no reccol-
lection of hearing pistol shots or MAX
ing a statement that he had heard
pistol shot. When he dashed the pistol
from the mans hand he had the i'm
preston that it was knocked against
the bureau. The burglars made no de-
nand or threats He did not know
why they did not fire and he did not
promise them anything if they would
lesist. In fact he had not time to do
20. He had no knowledge personally
is to whether the men went out of the
window.
To the best of his understanding of |
he matter there was no hostility on
he part of any of his employees to-

District Attorney Hammond contin-
led to ask questions as to whether Mr.. |
recollected hearing pistol |

Jared that he had heard none. He had .
10 knowledge, he said. how or when
drs. Fosburgh was hurt He may
ave said that it was by some instru-
nent, either a sandbag or something
lse. Mr.. Fosburgh answered questions
Iarily. Asked whether he did not say
hat the shots We're fired before he got
1to the hall he answered that if any
hots were fired it was before he arriv-
d there
Mr. Hammond asked: did you tell
,r. Paddock that when your son went
way afterwards he did not want his
life to go with him, as he wanted to
o with friends and have a good time?'
Mr. Fosburgh answered emphatical-
Z: mo, sir. I never made any such
tatement to DR.. Paddock or any one
