eyes
"'You found that the finger was
much powder burned, did you not?'

Witness said his notes and the tran
script correspondent in regard to this
part of the examination.
Wish to Show Burns
The effort of the defense is appar-
| emily to show that Benefits fingers
were burned, which would, they believe,
uphold the contention that the man
| held the revolver when 1t was dis
charged DR.. Campbell few days ago
said he did not believe he had given
such testimony at the preliminary ex'
animation.
The testimony said to have been
given by John A. Bennett at the pre-
iiminary examination was also COM
rared by Henderson with the notes
taken at the time, and special stress
was laid on that part where the brother
OF MAZE Bennett is declared to have
testified there was a scuffle between
Mrs. Corwell and Bennett at the time
of the shooting.
The transcript was read by Mr.. Appel
while the stenographer followed the
words as shown in his notebook.
"You couldn't tell who began the
scuffe?" read the attorney
mo sir
"And during the scuffle how many
shots did you hear?"
at was somewhere around two or
three"
"And during the time of the shots
did they continue to scuffle?"
after the first shot they were scuf-
fling, but after the second shot there
was no more scuffiing."

hand notes of the testimony at the
coroners inquest over Benefits body,
compared his notes with the transcript
of testimony taken at that time and
said the two correspondent.
John A. Bennett, brother of MAZE
Bennett said last week that he had
not testified at the inquest. and 1t was
evidently in view of this fact that the
transcript and notes were compared.

Seventh street, cousin of the de-
PENDANT, was called to, the stand and
said she was present at the inquest on

same person, she said, who was on the
stand last week.
