pack room of the store before he lost consciousness. MT. Allen denied & number of supposed statements at tributed to Achors by lawyers for San- ford.
 MT Allen said he was in the railroad yards when the shooting occurred and did not hear the shots. He said the substance of Achors's dying statement was that he had been killed by San- ford without any cause. Counsel for Sanford brought out the statement from MT. Allen that he did not testify as to Maggie Hickman kneeling In the room when he was examined at the preliminary trial of Sanford before Justice Jones.
 At $50 o'clock MT. Allen was ex- cused and the court recessed until & o'clock.
 Bicycle PatrOIman Carrfgan. The court reconvened promptly at 8 o'clock and Bicycle Patrolman P. L.. Carrigan was called.
 Patrollman Carrigan testified that he was a patrolman at the time of the shooting and was sent to the scene with Special Officer E. w. Graham. Achors was there and talked in the presence of the witness. He said he was going to die and called frequently for the Hickman woman. The witness said he took a 32 caIibra pistol from Achors's pocket. Its cham bors were empty. He described the wound of the engineer. He had not hear Achors make any statement as to the difficulty. w. L. Allen was there with Achors.
 When he first reached the store, Pa- trolman Carigan said Sanfod met him nt the door. He had a 3S caIibre pis- tol in his hand and said T have had to shoot Jim Achors." Then he handed the pistol to the patrolman and told him that Achors was back there" pointing behind the bar. They found Achors lying in the water behind the counter.
 Lawyers for Sanford had new dia- gram of Sanford's store and adiacent rooms which they submitted to Patrol man Carrigan questioning him as to the position of Achors body when he reach ed the scene
 The pistol handed to him by Sanford C,arrigan said was q 3S calibre Colt He was positive it was not a fl calibre pistol. Three of the cartridges had heen exploded.
 Patrolman Carrigan testified that Sanford was very bloody. hIs eyes were bruised. one of them being closed en- tirelv. His left eyes was swollen more than his right eye. He had ta be lift%tf around after he reached police head quarters. The witness said Sanford was treated for broken ribs. but he did not know whether his ribs were broken or not.

On redirect examination Justice Jones | testified that Henry Richmond was a witness at the preliminary trial of | Sanford, but he did not remember that ! Richmond testified that he was an eye | witness to the shooting.
 Justice Jones was excused, and Dr |. L.. l.. Hill was called He testified that Achors was shot in the stomach and in the lower jaw. He was unconscious l when he reached the hospital and did | not make a statement In his opinion a person wounded like Achors could do very little with an adversary. His | recollection was that Achors's face and stomach were powder burned. He paid more attention to the stomach wound | than to that in the face, as 1t was the
 more dangerous of the two. As soon
 as he saw Achors, Dr. Hill said he re- | alized that there was no hope for his
 life.
 Eye-Witness to the Tragedy. Henry Richmond, a negro, was the tneAt witness He Is an engine fireman for the Louisville and Nashville Rail- 1 road Company. and knew Achors. Richmond told the story of the shoot ing. saying he saw part of 1t. The witness and Jim Albright went to San ford's store to see Achors. Sanford told them that Achors and the Hick- man woman Hdu gone HSnlnB. TneY returned and went into a room adjoin- | ing the store. Soon a young man came running into the store with his hand | to his head. The Hickman woman ran
 out. followed by Achors. who had hold or her. The woman cried, Don't shoot Jim" and the witness turned and saw Sanford levelling pistol at Achors.
 Richmond said as the pistol was fired he ran from the store and did not re- | urn there. He sail he heard two or | three more shots fired in the store. He left Jim Albright in the store. and did | not know how long he stayed there. By the rough diagram the negro To- ,ated the rooms of the house and the positions of the principals during the enactiOn of the tragedy.
 Lawyers for Sanford questioned | Richmond sharply as to the names of engineers and conductors with whom he had worked He said he knew l Engineer John Cox. He also knew Engineer James A. Achors and his l brother John Achors whom he pointed ] out in the court room.
 Richmond swore that at the time of the shooting Sanford was behind the counter and near the bar. He was not in the store. When the ] first shot was fired he said Sanford
 was about fifteen feet from Aehors.
 The witness was standing in the door near the bars -

ing, he said Jessie Wadsworth, MT. Ven- able. Maggie Hickman and her brother Harry Hammett were there.
 On redirect examination, Carrigau testified that Sanford met him at the door and walked around the store. He walked to the buggy of Police Captain Taylor, who drove him to headquarters He did not move spry, but seemed to be able to get about.
 Tried to Impeach Witness.
 At S:45 o'clock Patrolman CaFrigan was excused and Claude Bartlett, a white woman who was at AZ Chandler street, was called
 The Bartlett woman testified that she was acquainted with Achofs, Sanford and others interested in the tragedy.
 In the back room of the Sanford store after the shooting the witness said she heard Achors tell Maggie Hickman that he was going to die and begged her not to tell a story either on Sanford or himself. She said she heard Achors say that Sanford had killed him for nothing.
 Miss Claude" asked the lawyer fo: Sanford on cross-examination, "how many times have you been convicted in this court?"
 ''We object" cried lawyer for the State
 I've never been convicted" the wit ness insisted on answering.
 Judge Thomas ruled that the question was admissible.
 The lawyer for Sanford said the wo- man had been convicted years ago be- fore Judge Randolph for indecent ex- posture and had spent time in jail.
 Claude Bartlett was excused and Spe- cial oficer E. W. Graham of the Mont gomery police department was called He went over the same ground as Pa trolman Carriagan, corroborating the testimony of that officer. Called Sanford "Dtrty Cur" Graham said he had Achors removed from behind the counter to back room. Achors told the witness that he thought he would die. He said. san ford shot me, the dirty cur; the way he shot me" Aehors did not make any

 Achors Said Nothing. Justice Jones swore that Jim All bright testified that Achors did not say anything except something like "Oh my God, you've killed me. Judge Thomas excluded this testi- .mony as Justice Jones was not posi- tive as to the language ascribed to Achors.
 Cross examined by lawyers for the defendant Justice Jones swore that lAllbrieht testified that when Achors ran into the store Sanford dropped the hose with which he was washing the floor, and that water was all over the place.
 At this point a rough diagram of Sanford's place in which Achors waN killed was submitted to the witness. many questions being asked him as to the location of the participants in the tragedy at the time the shots were hred, according to his best recollection of the testimony of Jim Albright. Continuing his evidence as to his best recollection of Allbright's testimony, Justice Jones said the negro testified that at the time the shooting began, Sanford was near the corner of the bar counter and there was some distance between the two men although the wit ness codld not remember the distance; that the first and second shots went wild, the third shot struck Achors in the stomach, and that the fourth shot struck him in the body. The last shot, as Justice Jones remembered 1t, was
 tired from behind the counter after Achors had crawled over 1t, and 1t was at this time Achors struck Sanford with a beer glass.
 The negro he said testified that after the shooting the Hickman woman went back to her room adjoining khe store. He did not know what became of Har- ry Hammett. brother of the Hickman woman.
 Mistreatment of Woman.
 Counsel asked Justice Jones if All bright did not testify that Achors was beating the woman and that she was screaming when they ran into the store.
 The State objected to the question, holding that 1t was irrelevant, but Judge Thomas overruled the objection.
 Justice Jones answered that he did not recall that Albright had testified that Achors was beating the woman. He said he did not profess to remember all of Ailbright's testimony. His best recollection was that the negro testified that Sanford, Achors. Maggie Hickman and himself were present. He did not remember what became of Harry Ham, melt.

Screamed ..pen,t Hurt Me.r

 When Harry Hammett, Maggie Hick. man and Achors ran into the store Richmond said Sanford had his sprink- ling hose and was behind the bar wash ing the floor. He did not see where sanford got the pistol from. He said the woman was screaming Don't hurt me. Jim" When Achors caught up with the woman he grabbed her by the right shoulder. They were in the middle of the store near the drygoods counter. Jim Albright. according to the witt ness. was at the bar drinking a glass of beer when the shooting began. , Richmond said he left the store im- mediately and did not know what be- came of the persons participating in the tragedy.
 It was developed that Richmond had been a fireman for Achors, hut that he lost his place. which was given to Jim Albright. He said he left Achors's engine in september. 1yvS. The evidence disclosed the fact that Richmond had worked for nearly every railroad line entering Montgom- cry and that he was frequently out of employment. At present Richmond is firing an engine on. the Mobile and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
 Solicitor Dent then introduced W. L. Allen as witness for the State. Mir. Allen is general yardmaster of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com pany in Montgomery.
 Achor's Dying Statement.
 Mir Allen testified that he knew Achors very well. He saw him soon after the shooting. He was lying in little room back of Sanfords store. MT. Allen said that Achors told him he knew that he could not live and asked him to send a telegram$to his wife which Mir. Allen said he did at once by telephoning. In five minutes MT Allen said he returned to the side of Achors, who told him that Sanford had shot him without any cause what ever. He told Maggie Hickman to get down on her knees and promise him that she would tell the truth at the trial of Sanford. This the woman did. Then Achors asked the woman to say if he was mcddling with Sanford and the woman said No" Achors also asked the woman to say if he--Achors had pistol. The Hickman woman said Yes" Thereupon Achors asked her to say if he drew the pistol and the woman said No" Achors then asked the woman if there were any cartridges in the pistol and the woman replied No. they have- all been shot up on the river while we were fishing"
 Repeated Objections.
 This testimony was drawn from MT. Allen by counsel for the State over the repeated objections of lawyers for the defendant who reserved exceptions when they were overruled
 Cross examined by, counsel for san- ford Mir Allen said he had repeated everything that Achors said in the

nett. reported yesterday morning that he was i'll and having certificate from physician he was excused. This made 1t necessary to secure four jurors 10 complete the Sanford jury.
 From the twenty talesmen summoned three jurors were selected. They were J. L. Harris. an insurance clerk; Cleve- land Baber, a printer and l.. R. Cox, a collector.
 At 11:so o'clock Judge Thomas drew ten additional names frdm the jury box and these men were summoned. the court adJourning until F o'clock. This efrort was futile as not one juror was secured from the ten talesmen.
 Judge Thomas at 12:45 o'clock drew ten names from the jury box and ad- journed the court until o'clock to give the deputies time to summon the twelve talesmen.
 When the court reconvened one of the first talesmen to be examined, J. D. McKeithen, a warehouseman, was accepted and the jury was complete. Its selection had covered nearly twen- ty-four hours.
 The Jury Complete.
 The jury complete was as follows: John A. Battle, cashier at the freight depot of the Atlantic Coast Line; W. w. SEdtcs, ctcFA TUT V. DaVluSOns :. J. Loughran, plumber; w. c. Redmond, foreman at a hardwood lumber plant; George D. Jones, sawyer at O blaming mill in the country; w. J. Barkely, farmer; J. D. Maddox, farmer; c. T.. farmer; J. L. Harris, insur- ance clerk; Cleveland Baber, printer; L. R. Cox, collector and J. D. Mo- Keithen, warehouseman.
 As soon as the jury was completed it was sworn and the indictment charg- ing Sanford with murder in the first degree. was read to which he, through his lawyer. entered formal plea of not guilty.
 The court then recessed for dinner.
 Several other matters engaged the attention of the court when the ses- sion was resumed at 3:30 o'clock until after o'clock when the witnesses i, the Sanford case were caAed, sworn and put under the rule. There were so many of them that 1t was arranged for them to pass away the time in the Circuit Court room
