Then witness testified Walker COM

monkey wrench and Lawrence took II
away from him, then Beers said Law
renee, this amt your fight and you
keep out Of It,"
From that moment the fight never
stopped until Il was ended. The two
men fought all around the store room,
hall and workshop IN which were boxes
lumber and piles or iron. Walker
called Beers a vile name and said. "Oh,
you have ruined my wife, you have
ruined my home. you have been init
mate with my josie" the two men
were fighting fercely, they seemed
about evenly matched. Laurence sep
arated them and told them they had
fought about enough, but Walker
went at Beers again and in the scuf-
fiA they fell on a pile Of lumber. Wal
ker was on top and Beers underneath.
Laurence again separated them and
kept them separated. although Walker
tried to get at Beers again several
times, but he would not let him. He
said Walker looked like he was crazy.
He pushed Walker down on box and
told him 10 sit there and sat Beers
down on the lumber Walker got up
and made a final rush at Beers and
struck him several times. they Clinched
and fell against the wall.
Again Lawrence pulled them apart
and Walker vomited blood. He took
Walker to the back end Of the store
and sat Beers down at the opposite
end Of the workroom on a box ana
gave him a wet towel. Beers told
Lawrence TO get him a cab, which he
did. When the cab came he told
Beers 10 get up, but he said he could
not. Lawrence and Hardie, one OF
the employees, helped the doctor up the
back steps and he got into the cab
with a little assistance from Lawrence.
The cabman asked Lawrence what was
the trouble. 10 which he replied
That's what n man gets for money
ing with another mans Wife" and told
the cab driver 20 take MIN to the hos
pital.
Witness said he then returned TO The
workshop and spoke 10 Walker who
was bent over with his head In his
hands but he did not reply so took n
CUP OF cold water and threw into his
face. This seemed TO revive him a
little and he helped him over 10 the
sink and washed him. Then sat him
down until he went across the street

collar, tie and pair Of cuffs for him,
but didn't buy a shirt He then took
