/ traversed by Kinney.
Rogers declared that early in Sep
tember Kinney, who had been out of
the county. told him that he had re-
turned with his mind made up to
turn states evidence against certain
parties who had been stealing cattle"
Rogers swore that Kinney declared
that he had deciced not to turn
states evidence as he had become
afraid that he, Kinney, was going to
be arrested on charge of horse
stealing if he did not get out of the
country. Therefore, he. Kinney, had
decided to pack up and leave the
country as quickly as possible.
Rogers testified that this and other
conversations in which Kinney is sup
posed to have made discriminating
statements. took place in a big old
brick house in the Crawford addition
and with a young woman named,
Smith. who was friend of Kinney's,
was present during a portion of each
of the conversations. Rogers stated
tnat Kinney told him that he was
going to take this young woman away
with him. Rogers said that the wo-
man was greatly excited for fear that
Kinney would be arrested before he
could get out of the country.
The witness testified to the effect
that Kinney had told him that he had
killed and butchered some of the
Seiber Cattle company's cattle and
that he, Kinney, had told him that
part of the time my partner and
killed cattle on our own hook and II
part of the time we killed it for an
other party"
Rogers. under cross examination,
testified that Kinney did not tell him
at Just what times he had killed cat
/ tie belonging to the Seiber company
Rogers. like Stevens. was put un-
der a very severe cross examination
but was not shaken from the main
points of his testimony.
/ Rogers was on the stand more than
an hour.
1 Following Rogers testimony was
given by Frank Parks, manager for
the Sieber Cattle company, and
by Under Sheriff Wallis, but their
testimony was not of a sensational or
extremely important nature.
Attorney Griffith for the defense
then made a motion that the case be
dismissed and the defendant dis
charged on the grounds that the evil
dence was insufficient and had failed
/ to show TO ANY extent that the de-
! fendant had been guilty of the charge
preferred against him.
The court then took the motion
under advisement until this after
noon.
