that he was doomed that day to be
 misunderstood.
 H. M. Wills had testified that short | ly before the shooting he heard Zapeda l say that he was going to M'Donald's
 to call him down. Zapeda said that what MT. Wills really heard him say was that he was going to M'Donalds S to collect"
 He told the story of the trouble at his house at Sentinel a month before | between M'Donald and his wife and young man by the name of Foster Him ton whCm M'Donald had found talk ing to his wife. That led up to the fla
 tai letter in which Zapeda told Mrs. M'DQnald to let him know when she would return and not to let her hus- band know; in which also he tcld her not to hesitate to ask him for money
 for she could have as much as she wanted.
 Objection was made by the territory
 to further evidence by Zapeda on that point. The jury was excused while the
 lawyers argued the matter and it was decided that Zapeda might 20 into the
 matter to the extent of explaining why he had written the letter. He said N44S't AAC idu DSGH uildDIe 10 md out the
 nature of the trouble which had taken
 place at his house That when Mrs. M'Donald passed through Sentinel the
 next time on her way to Gila Bend, he mad asked her about it hile he was walking with her to the depot. He said that she. | told him that she would like to tell him all about it but she would not have time. On her return, however. she would tell him unless it happened that her husband should come to Sen incl to meet her. Zapeda said that he had written in regard to the money so that she would not have to send to her husband for money; that he would not therefore know when she was coming and she could tell the story without in terruption.
 John A Beckett who had testified the day before for the territory was recall | ed. His evidence related to a telephone message which he had heard from Za- reda in which he said after the shoot
 ing that he was all right and that there
 were great many brave men at Agua Calicnte until they were called down and then they turned out to be cow ards.
 Mrs. Zapeda testified to the occur renee at the hotel at Sentinel on the night of Feb. when MDonaId was going to shoot his wife and Hinson. Hinson testified to the same incident ard further to the fact that M'DOnald
 was in the habit of keeping weapons about his place. He had not seen any | but one time M'Donald told him that | he always had three or four which i people had left in soak" There were several character witnesses. c. W 1 Vaughan, day operator fer the South ern Pacific al Sentinel R. l.. Brown oc Sentinel, George E. Truman. citizen member of the territorial board Of | control; Frank B. Moss of Phoenix and E!wcod Hadley, former Indian agent at ! sacaton. They all said that the repu- tatlo1 of Zapeda for Quietness and
 peaceable conduct was good and the sentinel witnesses also testified to fi- delity and devotion to his family and
 to his reputation for sobriety and in ! dustry.
 Other witnesses were Jose Morales of AEUa Caliente. John B. Modesti and Andrew Pancrazi. the manager Of the Modesti hote, at Agua Caliente. The testimony of Morales was quite unin- potrant. That of Modesti and Pan cTaZi differed almost essentially from that which they had given at the pre- Aminary examination. The former said that after the shooting when Za- peda came out of the saloon he heard him say something about a doctor. UDcn his memory being refreshed he remembered that at the preliminary
 examination he said that when the pao- pIe came out of the saloon some one 1 said something about a doctor and Za- peda said, Why do you want Q doctor
 for that bandit?"
 PancraZi is the postmaster at Agua | Caliente. He testified that the letter
 which caused al! the trouble came or ! the morning of March II. the day of | the killing. M'Donald read it to him
 but he said that he did not tell Zapeda
 TOT anyone else about it. Upon cross examination he admitted that at the preliminary trial when he was asked
 what was the state of mind of
 MDonald when he received the letter
 he had said that "he did not seem
 angry, but sorry"
 None of the witnesses for the de-
 fense, not even the defendant was sub
 mitted to a rigid cross examination.
 The last witness in the case was Mrs
 MDonald who, denied the story told
 by Zapeda of the circumstances leading
 mp to the writing of the letter She
 denied that Zapeda had spoken to her
 about the trouble which has been men
 tiCned; that there was any understand
 ing that she was going to tell him
 about it on her return or any other
 time. The manner of Mrs. M'Donald
 was very positive.
