The introduction Of the testimony Of

which was the admission OF the state

Of the shooting which, Il was contend

considerable length by the attorneys for

col. KA1GHNS TESTIMONY.
Colonel Kalghn, who was on the
stand when the News report closed
yesterday afternoon. testified as to the
same incidents of Roy's peculiar ac-
lions the past year and a half as relat-
ed by Mrs, Kaighn yesterday morning.
He said that the boy had been using
cigarettes and liquor for number OF
years and he noticed that II affected
his mind 30 that he suffered from mel
anchoia and often talked of suicide.
After Roy's arrest Col. Kaighn said
he saw him at the police station and
he acted rather idiotic, he had a man
iacal laugh" and he would not tell Wit
ness anything about the affair except
that he had had little trouble and
Jennie was mixed up In It. Witness
said II was a month or two before he
could get a complete story from Roy III
regard to the affair.
Witness then told of the visit Of Miss
Coates and himself 10 MIR. Haynes at
the Holy Cross hospital In the evening
after the shooting He stated that

Dist Atty, Eichnor objected to the
answer OF witness and asked that 1t
be stricken out on the ground that the
statement was hearsay and was not
shown to be dying declaration and
hence was not admissible as evidence,
The court admitted the statement In
evidence, but not as dying declara-
ton.
The attorneys for the defense then
asked Col Kaighn what other state
ments Mr.. Haynes made at that time.
Mr.. Eichnor raised the same objections
to that question and the matter was
argued TO some length by the attorneys
for both sides and was taken under adj
vlsement by Judge Morse until Monday
morning.
