Clyde wilson's Testimony.
Owing TO the long arguments of at
tOrneys as to the proper manner OF
CrOss-examining a witness. little ad-
vance was made in the Dewey trial
Wednesday morning. On cross-exam-
ination Chauncey Dewey testified that
he was present at the opening Of the
ranch IN the spring Of 1899. He said
that prior to April, 1902, there were
no firearms on the place except those
owned by himself and William Nc
Bride. Dewey recognized the rifle he
had with him June 3, 1908, and also the
revolver. Clyde Wilson was called on
the stand just before noon. He said:

1902, and worked as stenographer and
bOOkkeeper 1 went with Chauncev

Alpheus Berry place. l had a Win
cheater rifle and a six-shoOter. When
we arrived there was standing
close to Dewey when the Berry boys
rode up. They dismOunted and tied
their horses to a wagon. They pulled
their revOlvers around in front of them
and when they advanced three or four
steps one of them said: You will take
nothing from here to-day As ne said
this they all put their hands on their
pistols. Dewey said to them: Stop,
stop where you are They fired at US.
Roy Berry fired directly at Dewey and
Burch Berry fired at Mcbride. When
they put their hands on their pistols,
l put a cartridge into my Winchester.
When the Berrys fired saw a horse
drop. Our men then fired. Two of
the Berry boys fell. 1 saw Dewey shoot.

Chauncey Dewey's story.

Tuesday, March I, Chauncey Dewey
was put on the stand as a witness in his
own defense. An unusually large
crowd was at the court house to hear
what the ranch manager would say, but
nothing new in the case was developed.
He said that he had settled on the
Oak ranch in 1900; had had some
trouble with the Berrys in 1902 but it
was not of a serious nature
Dewey's description of the shooting
last June and the events just preceding
it was as follows:
''On June 2I instructed Albert Win
ship TO bring some cattle to headuuar-
tiers, and as he came past Alpheus Ber-
ry's place to stop and bid on a windmill
and water tank. He reported to me in
the evening what took place at AIpheus
Berry's place that day. 1 did not sum
mon any of the men that I took with
me June ;, except William Mcbride. /
asked him to go because he was a con-
stable. Benjamin Slater came to head
quarters that morning iookingfor COW
he owned. Thomas O'Nel and Charles
Wilson came on other business. The
other FIVE men lived there.
When these three men came asked
them to go along, All except two were
armed. / furnished them with arms.
Seven OF the men. besides myself, rode
horses, and two of the boys came in a
wagon We rode up to the tank at Al
pheus Berry place and dismounted. 1
told Mcbride and Wilson to go to the
house to see if it would be ali right to
take the tank. l told James Armen-
trout TO bore a hole in the tank to let
the water out
Daniel Berry came out of the house

direction. I did not see Chauncey
Dewey OF any of the other Dewey men
shoot. I fired three times at the man
that ran to the barn. I saw him after
wards run 70 the house. 1 then got be-
hind the wall. I stayed there for a
while and then got on my horse. While
was behind the wall saw a woman
come out Of the house and go to unite
a horse. I told her TO leave the horse
there. After the shooting 1 saw pistols
lying beside the bodies of the two men
on the ground beside the tank"
Tuesday of this week William Nc
Bride, one Of the three defendants in
the trial for the murder OF Burchard
Berry, took the stand in his own de-
Tense and told of the fatal fight at the
Berry ranch. He corrOborated previous
testimony to the effect that the Berry
boys had opened fire and said:
''Burchard Berry fired directly at me
twice put cartridge in my gun and
fired at him. and he fell. fired at him
because he fired at me, and to protect
my life
Mcbride denied that he had ever said
that if Dewey could not buy out the
settlers in the vicinity of his ranch. he
would drive them out or ''kiI them
out"
Tom O'Neal testified that when the
firing commenced he reached for his
gun, which was on his horse, and fred
three times at the man who was run
ming toward the stable
James ArmentrOut testified that he
drove the wagon, and cOrrOborated all
statements up to the first firing by the
Berrys when his mules ran off with
him. He said he stopped them at the
commencement of the lane, leading ouf
of the pasture, and looked back over
his shoulder and saw Dewey scuffiing
with some one at the wall. Just then
his mules took a second start and ran a
quarter of a mile.
Walter Wallace, of Atwood, Kan, was
placed upon the stand and testified that
his wife was an old acquaintance of the
Berrys and that it was of common Oc-
currence for them to stop with him for
meals and to stay all night In April,
1908, Alpheus Berry was there all one
night, and in a conversation about the
Deweys, said they had better watch, as
the Berry boys were crack shots.
In February, 1908, Daniel Berry was
there and told about an instance when
Roy, Beach and Alpheus were in the
sorghum mill and Burch was talking to
the Deweys in the road. He said that
if the Deweys had made a crooked
move something would have happened,
as the boys could shoot just where they
wanted to, and that they were going to
get the Deweys if ever they came to-
gether.
