HELD TO GRAND JURY
HARVEY PEA RETURNS TO JAIL
TO AWAIT FURTHER iNvEs.
TIGATloN.
Testimony of Pea and Dying State
ment of ST. John Add No New Fea-
tures-Defendan Wounded at Ed.
dyviIle Recently by Officers.

Saturday morning n Justice o. L..
Campbell's court Harvey Pea was
held to await the action of the
grand jury upon the charge of assault
with intent to do great bodily injury.
After hearing the evidence in the case
Friday and the arguments of the at
torneys, Justice Campbell reserved
his decision until Saturday.
This is the case in which William
st. John and Harvey Pea who were
travelling in a covered wagon some
weeks ago became engaged in trouble
with Marshal McGaugh and other citi-
zens of Eddyville and which ended in
the shooting affair between the
marshal and st. John and the later
shooting of Pea while trying to es-
cape.
Pea on the Stand.
At the trial Friday Harvey Pea
was put upon the stand and told the
story of his connection with the in
cidents' that lead up to the exchange
of shots between Marshal McGaugh
and w. E. st. John and Of the trou-
BILE which followed in which he him
self received shot in the shoulder.
The dying statement of st. John was
also introduced but it brought prac-
tically no new features or testimony
into the trial.
In his statement ST. John claims
that he asked Marshal McGaugh not
to shoot and that he had the target
rifle in his hands to use only in self
defense in case the marshal fired upon
him.
Argument for the Defense.
In his argument, w. A. Work, at
torney for the defense, commended that
the evidence did not show that
St. John or Pea either one had done
anything to warrant the marshal in
ordering the men out of town. He
stated also that the marshal had no
right to order anyone out of town.
If the party was guilty of any offense
4, was the duty of the officer to make
an arrest but under no circumstances
did he have the right to order anyone
out of town.
Attorney Work stated that the evil
dence showed that st. John had his
arm hanging by his side when he was
shot by the marshal and that it was
not in the position assumed in shoot
ing. He declared that the action of
Pea IN jumping from the wagon with
an axe when surrounded by the mob
while trying to make his escape was
not with the intention of committing
murder but with the idea of protecting
himself from the mob.
For the Prosecution.
Attorney w. R. Nelson Of Eddyville,
and County Attorney Seneca Cornell,
Po1. the prosecution hold that even If
pea did not do the shooting he was
just as guilty as st. John from the
fact that he was an accessory to the
crime. The question as to whether
