Judge Robins on the stand. Witness
is eoronor of Humboldt county
Identified photographs as being the
ones taken on August 81, of Welch,
az the undertaking establishment
DR.. Giroux was then called and tes-
titled that at the time of the opera
tion on Welch, about two pints of
blood gushed from the wound. He ad-
ministered chloroform. but the pa
TENTS condition was such that he
could not stand much chloroform. BY
the time the patient was placed in
bed, the effects of the cholorform had
disappeared He found a fragment OF

nation August 21, at the undertake

bedded in the small intestines; also

passing between the bones without

marks on the left hand and two small
abrasions on the left leg. Witness
identified photographs as correct
representations of the deceased. In

was resting comparatively easy. At
Ais wounded man said he recognized

sions of the jury.

authorities.

THE DEFENDANTS IN COURT
Interest naturally centers in the
bearing of the accused men in the
court room. The actions of each is
. characteristic. viewed from the point
of character study of the prisoners.
Fred Roberts. the youngest of the
quartette, does not appear to realize
the seriousness, of his position; he
takes less apparent interest in the
proceedings than many of the specta-
tors, and impresses one as being
rather proud of the attention he at
tracts than otherwise. He does not
look to be over Is years age, is rather
understood and his mental and physic-
al development appears to have been
retarded by dissipation. He has light
hair and light eyes, and is rather or
a negative type Of humanity. He is
inclined to be brazen and impudent in
conversation, but is shrewd enough to
know when to keep silent. So far

j. P. Sevner is a surly, cynical fel-
low, aged anywhere between 40 and
50, his hair is grayish having been
black. He has small, piercing, dark
eyes, set noticeably deep. Sevner
scowls at jurors and witnesses. watch
ing every act and hearing every word.
OF the four he has been the most in
ciined to talk, and is looked upon as
sort of adviser of the quartette. He
is thought to be an easterner.
The man indicted under the name of
frank Williams is unprepossessing IN
appearance. He is evidently Swedish
IN nationality, has a blank. unintelli-
gent expression. large features. great
distance between the eyes and small
elose-lying ears. Like Roberts, he
appears to take little interest in the
surroundings. and is evidently ready
TO take what comes without protest or
concern.

GRUESOME EXHIBITS OFFERED
Conduct and Appearance of the
Accused in Court--Nany
Spectators Present

Court convened at 10 o'clock tbie
morning, and the examination of wit
nesses was at once resumed.
The interest in the proceedings is
increasing, and the seats in the court
room are being occupied 3y spectators
throughout the day. Yesterday after
noon a number of ladies were pres
ent. The admission of outsiders has
not been objected to, and the prob
ability is that at the entire trial the
sessions will he well attended
Speculation is rife as - The length
of time the trial will list. ar from
present indications it appears that it
will not be completed before the lat
ter part of next week, and perhaps
not then. Both sides are confident of
ultimate success; the state has the
case and evidence we'll in hand, and
Mr. Warren is prepared to put up a
hard fight for conviction. He believes
the parties guilty of wilfully and ma
liciously numbering Jack Welch; thar
they held him up and robbed him,
and then, when he was defenseless
and wholly at their mercy, that they
took his life in a cold blooded and
eowardly manner, without any ex-
cuse or provocation whatever If he
can prove these things conclusively,
the defendants are certainly in a very
unenviable position. On the other
hand. the Defendants have able ard
determined counsel, who are prepared
tc contest every inch of ground in
defending their clients.
The nature of the testimony in be-
half of the defendants is not dis
closed, but there are rumors of sur
prises to be offered that may devel-
op into sensations. At all events, fair
ness and justice to the accused men
demands that judgment by the public
be withheld until all the evidence on
both sides is heard. They are sure to
receive a fair and impartial trial and
it is equally certain that they will
not be punished for a crime or crimes
they did not commit.
