 Witness then described condition of the vault and office and related the story told him by Storm, the latter telling hIm that he had kicked the door of the vault during the night until his feet were sore; in describ- ing the tall man he said he was about the size of Joe Cook. Witness said in other respects the story was practi- calIy the same as has already been published. Witness further said: "He said he could hear people talking, particularly George Heisler; could hear Heisler open and close the jail doors but could not make him hear ! him.
 "On the afternoon of the Sth at o'clock l was in the sheriff office. George Heisler and 1 were there to- gether; had a can of oysters and crackers which we were eating; about seven minutes after the prisoners food arrived and we went to feed them.
 "Came from sheriff's office through main hail to head of stairs leading to jail. Went half or two thirds of I the way down stairs and remained there while Heisler let the food in. remained on jail steps about ten or twelve minutes. Heisler and l return ed then 10 office and we ate some more oysters. During this time Mrs. Chas. Goddard was he only one 1 saw ID the hall after our return to the office. She went to the recorders office and then returned going to the north entrance of the court honse. 1 spoke to her and walked few feet with her, did not see anyone else in the court house at the time. While we were eating oysters Lester Jackson came in remaining a few minutes.
 ''It was extremely quiet at the time in and around the court house. It was about f :25 when l saw Mrs. God dard. Not positive whether it was before or after feeding the prisoners that Mr. Jackson came. Storm told me that it was about f 10 when the robbers entered the door; at that time 1 was on the stairway leading to the jail.
 ''I heard no noise then or immedi- ately afterwards in any part of the building till about O 'clcok when l went to Hotel Burke and ate my din- her; returned to office about O clock and remained there until about II o'clock, receiving returns from cleo tion; had a schedule on the wall be- i tween the sheriff's office and the treasurer's office; the schedule was | located on the wall a little in front of the vault l entered the returns as they were recieved on the schedule; entered returns from twenty eight pre- cincts. ''
 ''I made frequent trips to the board of supervisors office to receive re- turns from there which 1 had not re ceived, going through the hall within seven or eight feet of the wall of the treasurer's vault The office was reasonably quiet all the time and when the lists were being called it was particularly quiet. Did not hear any noise in the treasurer's office at any time between ' o'clock and II. 1 went home at II p. m. returned to court house the next morning between and 9 o'clock"
 The prosecution here attempted to introduce testimony in reference to tests made tending to show that if Mir. Storm had made the demonstra- tions claimed while in the vault, the noise could have been heard. The defense objected to this testimony and after considerable argument, the court took the question under advise ment and the cross examination of the witness was conducted by Mir. Ross.
 The most important feature develop ed on the cross examination was the fact that occasional hollowing was heard on the streets.
 Sheriff Roberts then took the stand and on examination by J. E. Morrison testified that he reached the treasur- CTS office on the morning of Novem- bsr 9th about 9:20 or 30 o'clock. In the main his testimony was substan- tially the same as MT. Carter.
 Other points not heretofore brought out were that in his conversation with Storm witness said: ''I asked him why he did not make a noise and let us know. Storm said I did make a noise and 1 remarked that it remind | ed me of noise which 1 heard after l went to bed in the basement of the building. 1 told him that l heard a dull noise once during the night. Storm was nervous during the conver-
