Sheriff Schrader on Stand.
Following Chief O'Neil, Sheriff C.
F. Schrader took the stand. He told
of visiting the Ong home after the
shooting and examining the bullet
holes. He found only two, those in
the west wall. He was questioned
at length by each side regarding the
location and the condition of these
bullet holes and the general sur
roundings of the room and home.
While Sheriff Schrader was on the
stand two pieces of weather board
ing. taken from the wall that were
struck by the bullets, were intro
duced.
Under Sheriff Wallis.
Under Sheriff Wallis. who exam
ined the bullet holes with Sheriff
Schrader, was then introduced and
his testimony was corroborative of
the testimony of the sheriff.
To Prove Bullet Course.
1t was evident that the prosecu-
tion's lengthy examination of the
several witnesses as to the location
of the bullet holes and their relation
to the table was made in an effort
to prove that the bullets must have
been fired by Miss Heady as she
fired across toward and over the din
ing room table at which Ong claims
he was seated when he was shot.
Judge Kicker Recalled.
Judge Kicker, who visited the Ong
home few minutes after the shoot
ing, was recalled by the prosecution
this morning. He was on the stand
only a few minutes, and testified to
examining the bullet holes with Miss
Heady. He believed they were fired
at an angle of about As degrees.

prosecution and asked If he exam
ined the bullet holes. He said he
did. but not on the night of the

identified the plat of the Ong home
as one that he had prepared. He
testified as to the relative positions
of the articles of household furniture
in the room.

All day the court room has been
cro"ded to overhowing. and the
kesr st interest has been manifested
by ,hn spectators in every movement.
Aga \ t1day large number of ladies
were ~ "t endance.
There hos been much speculation
as to the probable outcome of the
trial. Malv do not believe that a
conviction is probable. Others ex-
pect a conviction.
Mrs. Ong Testifies.
Mrs. j. Chester Ong was the first
witness placed on the stand by the
defense.
The testimony of Mrs. Ong was
largely in the same tenor as that
given in the Justices court. The
matter of the insurance policy of
Mrs. Ong in Ong's favor was gone
into. She testified that he had told
her shortly before she was taken to
the hospital that the mortgage on
his ranch near DeBeque would soon
be due and he had better COLLECT
THAT FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS,
SHE PRESUMING THAT HE IN
TENDED TO KILL HER FOR THE
INSURANCE. She also testified to
many other threats he had made in
the presence of Miss Heady.
Didn't Know About 1t.
Mrs. Ong swore that she did not
know whether the policy OF Ong's
was made out in her favor or not
She had been told that 1t had; but
knew that it had once been in favor
of Ong's former wife. and was not
positive that 1t had been changed.
However. she swore that it was in
drawer where she had access to it,
but had never looked at it, She per-
sistently refused to tell who gave her
the revolver which she had in her
possession. Her story of the shoot
ing was the same as given before,
and the grilling cross examination of
the district attorney did not serve to
make her contradict herself.
Could Not be Confused.
Her testimony was clear cut and
all the efforts of Deputy District At
torney Fry to tangle her were un-
availing.
Mrs. Herman on Stand.
When Mrs. Ida Hermann was
called to the stand she testified as
