colored attorney. to defend. Afterward
friends OF Miles, members OF a colored fra
ternal society. retained j. NJ mcfarland
to conduct the defense without saying
anything to the lawyers appointed by
Judge Redick, probably without knowing
Of the appointment.
Tuesday morning the appointed and the
retained attorneys all showed up, ready
to take up the defense. Then a consulta-
ton was in order. The result was that
Judge Day permitted Messrs. Carr and
Smith to withdraw. after they had indi-
Gated that was their wish Mr. Macfar-
land Is therefore conducting the case for
the defense.

throat OF Harry McGechin at the Cam

Assistant County Attorneys Fitch and
Shotwell are prosecuting on behalf of the
state. They called as their first witness

the killing. He did not see knife or
razor in Miles hand, being across the
street, but did see McGeehin in the hotel
hallway bleeding to death after the colored
man had thrown his right hand up to his
opponents head. He did not see Nc
Cochin draw a revolver, as the defense
contends the dead man did

the picture as n guide a person can find
any place in Omaha he desires. The work
