shot her. When she came into the
room shessaid, "What is the matter ?''
and then I shot her. There was no
chance for any blood to get on my
clothes. I ran nearly all the way from
Bowentown to Oak Villa. l didn't
come to Bridgeton after I left Bowen
town before going to Oak Villa.
When | shot them had on a brown
coat, shirt with little blue stripe
in it and these trousers I have on
now. When I lighted the match in
the barn 1 looked at the wounds in
the heads and they were not bleeding,
but weeping something which looked
like blood and water together. They
were weeping just a little. I don't
remember just how they fell when
they were shot. I shot Miss Shute
because I did not want anybody to
know shot Mr.. Holmes and because
l was excited.
JOB WILLIAMS.
Dated, Sept. 3, 1902.
Witness:
Chas j. Fithian,
W. G. Hendee,
Frank J. Lore,
J. Hampton Fithian.
Frank J. Lore and Sheriff Hendee
were recalled to identify number of
bloodstained articles, such as screen
door, piece of oilcloth, a handker-
chief, ETC., after which DR.. Ellsmore
Sites was sworn as an expert wit
ness. He said that he was graduate
OF the University of Pennsylvania and
that he had had practical experience
in the analysis of blood stains. The
$5 note as exhibited in case was shown
the Doctor and he said the stain upon
it was made with blood. A pair of
pantaloons, exhibit D, was shown the
witness He said he had made an ex-
animation of the pants and had found
a number of blood spots upon them,
on the inside of the left hip pocket
there was one stain very distinct. AL
together eight stains appeared on the
trousers. On the coat in evidence
witness also pointed out a number of
blood spots, also upon handkerchief
the witness said he found blood and
plenty of it. There were also blood
stains on the handkerchief resembling
shoe blacking. A small box of shoe
blacking, taken from Job Williams,
also showed blood stains, which
would account for blacking getting on
handkerchief. Finger nail cleanings
taken from Job Williams were also
examined by the witness and blood
was found in them. Witness said he
also found blood spots upon the oil
cloth taken from the hallway of the
Holmes house. There were in all ten
places on the oil cloth where blood
spots were found. Witness further
testified that upon the trousers he
had found gray hairs. The hair was
found on back of leg below the knee.
Hairs had also been found upon the
coat of Job. Witness said that an ex-
animation showed them to be human
hairs. The screen door taken from
the Holmes house: the door through
which Job dragged the bodies, accord
ing to his confession, was shown the
witness. On this door were numerous
blood spots. Witness also testified
that he had found eyebrows upon the
sill of the door, All these exhibits
were carefully scrutinized by the
jury. Witness said that chemical
analysis of the pieces of lead found
beneath the bodies in the ruins, gave
the same results as that made of the
bullets remaining in the revolver
taken from Job the day after the fire.
The cross-examination of the wit
ness by Mr.. Iredell upon the expert
testimony of blood stains and hairs
was very thorough and critical.
1t was g. 80 when Court took re-
cess until 8. 80 Thursday morning.
Thursday Morning.
The fourth day of Job Williams
trial opened promptly at $50 with
rush. A big effort is being made to
finish the trial before tomorrow
morning when Judge Hendrickson ex-
poets to leave to sit in Court of Errors
and Appeals at Trenton. The end of
the trial will of course depend on the
length of the defendants side of the
case, but the intentions at this time
are to hold night session, beginning

trial is finished. Judge Hendrickson
will be required to return to receive
the verdict should the jury not return
