morning at II o'clock before Justice
of the Peace G. Z. Allen, of Sumpter
upon the charge Of numbering VIII
liam Thorne. at Bourne, last Friday
night.
No new evidence was adduced ex-
cept the details of the fatal encounter.
Attorney Johns, for the defense
adroitly drew from the witnesses
that when the shot was fired the TWO
men were scuffling; after the shot
they fell to the floor with Thorne on
top. who succeeded in wrenehing the
gun from Maddern's hand. and when
bystanders were taking It away from
him he begged to be permitted to use
IT. saying: "The s. of a b. has got
me" The theory of the defense as
indicated by the attorneys questions
viii either be that the gun was dls-
charged accidentally or that II was
fired In self-defense.
Judge Allen denied the request that
the accused be permitted to give oall
and he was held TO the circuit court

UNKNOWN MAN EI.ECrRocurED
Picked Up Live Wire That Had
Fallen Across the Street.

Seattle. Jan. 27.-An unknown la
boring man was electrocuted at GAO
this morning on the waterfront at the
foot of Madison street. A Sunset tel
ephone wire had blown down during
the night and fallen across one of the
wires of the municipal distributing
system.
The man was evidently going to
work and noticed the wire laying
across the street Not knowing 1t
was live, he tried to throw 1t out of
the way and received the full strength
of the municipal wires voltage.
A man standing near by heard a
scream and looked around in time to
see the unfortunate man desperate
ly writhing with the wire grasped in
his hands. He hastily telephoned the
morgue and Deputy Coroner Arnold
responded. The man was dead when
he arrived. An electrician was sum-
moned, who cut the wires and liber-
ated the dead man from the horrible
situation. The hands, breast and alb
domen were frfghtfully burned.
No papers were found upon the
body with which to identify him. He
was dressed in working clothes and
apparently on his way to work.

The number of workmen who re-
