Sensational Evidence.
The most sensational testimony yet
introduced in the Gardner-Hunt MUIR
der trial was given when Chief OF
Police J. e. Robinson told of a con-
versation with John Gardner. one OF
the defendants, upon their return "a
police headquarters on the night OF
the killing. in which Gardner said
they had killed one or two men and
two horses. II is now believed that
the defendants will plead UNSUITABLE
homicide.
When court convened for the after
noon session the attorneys had til
over turning over the grand jury rec.
ords to defendants attorneys. Her
man Davis was the first witness
called. but before the examination
began Mr.. Daniel, of the defense.
asked the court If he would be per-
mitted to have the papers now in the
possession of Acknowledgement Lyle.
The latter stated that he had written
this testimony for his own use. while
examining witnesses in the grand
jury room, and he regarded 1t as his
private property. He also stated that
the grand jury book was in the hands
of the clerk of the court. which the
defense had a right to and could OBJ
tain at any time.
Mr.. Savage, of the state, argued
that the proceedings of the grand
jury should not be divulged at any
time. and 1t seemed that the defenss
could only prove what was testified
to before the grand jury by asking
the witness IL he stated such before
that body. The court held there wal
no question before the court, and az
the state counsel had agreed to LEI
the defense have the papers Spoken
OF at the morning session, there wal
nothing else TO do now but 20 turn
the papers over to the defense.
Squire A. l.. Davis. who had beer
on the stand nearly all morning, was
recalled and Herman Davis was sent
out. Squire Davis said: 81 have
stated that swore to a statement be-
fore the grand jury" Mr.. Geech
then read what was purported TO BIZ

Mr.. Savage. Of the state. objected
to the reading of parts OF the sworr
statement. but the court ruled thai
the question could be asked. Mr.

wise, 1t would be incompetent.
