The appalling disaster on the Wa

human equation must be taken into ac-

caution employed accidents will occur
Men are bound to make mistakes. and
when they are dealing with destructive
agencies mistakes prove costly. Our
great volume of commerce, the thou

squirrel in a park will catch a peanut
from the hand of a bystander, run a

WITNESSES TESTIFY.

he located the various points ON the
chart. He gave in detail where the
horsemen stood. and in fact all those
who were witnesses to the killing.
The cross examination by Frank G.
Goudy was most searching, 1t can
be said though that he could not break
down the testimony of Dunnan.
Dunnan was followed by George
Korn. whose testimony concluded the
work of yesterday. His testimony
was in substance what has been given
by this paper in the preliminary hear
ing and what was testified to in the
main by Dunnan.
This morning court opened at nine
and the prosecution called as its first
witness Hugh Miller and in turn Or
land Gavin, Emory Knowles. George
Smith and Jim Jones. Jones was on
the stand at the time of adjournment.
The stories, as ha; been said, of all
the witnesses to the killing were sub
stantially the same. there being little
material difference in any of them.
When Emory Knowles was on the
stand the defense, ON cross examina-
tion, attempted to disprove some of
his statements. They endeavored to
prove that he had told witness for
the prosecution a round up of cattle
that Seiber had asked him, at the
time he had taken the weapon from
his saddle pouch, ''if it was loaded :"
Knowles denied this. Much stress
was laid on the cross examination of
Knowles, as it was from him that
Seiber had obtained the gun which
he carried in his hand, as he road
toward Harris. Knowles illustrated
to the court how Seiber carried the
gun mad the manner in which Harris
dismounnted from his horse and pick :.
ed up the gun and rode away
The question of whether the gun
was on the lock or cooked when Har
ris picked it up was a very important
matter to bring before the court and
jury, as it has been stated in the
statement made to the jury by Mr.
Goudy that when Harris picked it up
he found it that the gun was loaded
and the hammer ready for service the
gun being cooked.
