ARNOLD ON STAND
FOR HARRY CLARK
SWears LilIiston Fired
First Shot.
HEARING CONTINUED
Will be Resumed at Noon Today. Ar
mold Tells OF a Crap Game in East
Raleigh Between the Combat
ants and Others Two Nights
Before the Shooting.

The hearing in the case of Harry
Clark. alias Fred Morris, vulgarly
known as 1.-THE Jew among his as
sociates. was begun yesterday at II
o'clock, and continued until $50 last
evening, when Police Justice Badger
continued the hearing until today at
noon. A large number of witnesses
were put on the stand who had testi-
fed in the Lilliston hearing, and the
monotony of their testimony was re-
lieved when Robert Y. Arnold. the
most important witness for the de-
tense, when being examined told of
things that did not develop AT tue
former hearing.
Perhaps the two most striking and
important things to which he testified
were that Liliiston fired the first shot
in the duel, and that Charles CT.
Smith, the dead man, was 10 or II
feet away from Clark when ne iired
the first time, and was farther away
when Clark fired the second time.
Other witnesses appeared to abolish
the theory of third man having done
the fatal shooting, and besides several
of the witnesses having already teSti-
fled that Lilliston stopped or crouched
behind Smith when he fired. others
who will be put on the stand today
are expected to give supplemental evil
dence in support of this testimony
Probably the strongest circumstance
in Clark's favor is the statement that
both the shots he fired have been &C
counted for one having pierced the
glass in the window near the west
door of the gentlemen's waiting room
at Union depot, and it is claimed that
the second bullet fired by Clark pene-
trated the clothing of both LillisH'n
and w. r. Horton, the latter carry
ing the bullet a"ay in his boot.
AnOld also testified that on Thurs
day night, two days previous to the
the house in East Raleigh, and at this
game the trouble really originated. as
Clark lost and Lilliston won; and the
night following Lilliston lost.
Clark was cool looking at the hear
ing yesterday, being dressed in neat
suit of Clothes. and beside hun SCI
Arnold. While Illusions friends
were on the stand a dark sneer like
a cloud in the night, would pass oven
the face of Clark. whom they called.
THE Jew" At other times Clark did
not seem to be seriously concerned.
and chewed his tobacco apparently
with great relish.
The State rested it's case yesterday,
while the defense had only one of its
WITNESSES, AIIlOlu, eAdUlIIleu
The first witness was Mr.. Frank
Simpson, an architect of Raleigh, who
drew a diagram of the gentlemen's
waiting room of Union Depot. which
showed every seat, the ticket office,
the toilet room, where the various
men stood during the fateful episode,
and the location of every bullet hole,
and the distances.
Col r. l.. Holt, of Burlington, an
eye witness of the pistol duel. saw the
first shot fired by Clark. and said his
pistol was in line with the ticket office
at about As degrees. Mr.. Holt also
saw Lilliston pull his gun, and then
the witness ran out of the waiting
room. On cross examination, M.
Holt said he saw Lilliston stoop to
fire. but did not see Clark fire his sec
ond shot.

and constable, of Cary, who carried
