II. A.. MAssIE.
Mrs. Massie Positive.

| When questioned by Captain Woods,
Mrs. Massie was quite positive as to what
McCue had said TO her when she asked
him about the scratch on his face. This
was a very important point. McCuo had
| said to nearly everybody else that he had
| been knocked senscless. TO the witness
! no said he had probably been shot by
| the man who had killed his Wife
Mrs. Massie said, that so far as she
knew, she was the first lady in tho house
of Mr.. NlcCuc on the night of tho MUIR
der. Tho accused had on an undershirt
that was torn and that exposed his
breast. His brother told him he had bet
ter go upstairs.
II thought that was because Of his
ncgligeo condition. L can't conceive any
other reason why he should have He
was very nervous, but perfectly rational,
Thought. "A
ME next-door ncighbor Of McCue, Mr..
Il. Il. Moran, who, at the time OF the
murder occupied his residence CamHn
Hall, followed Mr.. Massie to the stand.
He said he went to Jthe scene Of the
tragedy as soon as he heard Of the oc-
currencc. This was probably $3.50 o'clock.
The witness was lying on his bed in an
other part of the house, and did not
even hear the shot. His attention was
called to the disturbance by his man,
Charles Skinner.
During the time he spent in the McCue
house, Mr.. Moran sat for perhaps q half
hour in the room with the body Of Mrs.
AIcCue. Her husband did not enter while
4 he was there.
Witness later went into the room where
5McCue was stretched upon a sofa. Hc
tried to find out from him what had
happened. McCuc seemed morose and dis
inclined to talk. He said he didn't want
ito be disturbed.

The crowd began to settle itself for
something out OF tho ordinary. There
was a general stir. The name of Willie
McCue was called. The by arose from
