condition, one that is really a
musical instrument and has soul
and the power of song this is
whatyo want Economy first,
then quality. These are the two
things you think about before
you set out to buy. The store
which gives assurance of pro.
viding both is the one in which
you desire to make a selection.

GRANBERY'S Mind
WAS AFFECTED
DISPOSITION or THE DEFENDANT
CHANGED AS RESULT or
HIS TROUBLES.
BECAME N ROSE AND GLOOMY
lntimates Testify That He Constantly
5rooded over Separation From
His Wife.

AT the afternoon session on Thurs
day witnesses were introduced by the
Ja.ense, whose testimony tended tc
SLsAdw that the separation OF Granbery
and his wife had had a great effect
on his mind; that prior to the separa
ton he was of a bright and sunny
disposition, but that after the separa-
ton he became morose, gloomy and
melancholy and that he constantly
brooded over his troubles; they were
the first thing uppermost in his mind.
This was the testimony of his init
mates and of his brother Jack Gran
berry.
Jake Alexander, who was with the
defendant at the time OF the killing,
was one of the principal witnesses of
the afternoon. He corroborated the
evidence of the defendant as to the
details Immediately proceeding and at
the time of the killing. He told of the
conversation with young CRANBERRY at
the Monument just before the shoot
ing and said that he noticed that the
defendant was troubled; that when he
walked over to the pool room he no
ticed a wild look in the eye of the
defendant His description of the
shooting was about as stated by the
defendant.
The two Alexanders testified that
when CRANBERRY came out of the pool
room after the shooting that he said
that he had killed the man who had
separated him from his wife and child
and had wrecked his home. This was
the only statement of the defendant
after the killing that was admitted in
evidence, the court declining to allow
statement he made after he got |
to his mothers home that night to go |
into the record.
1t was plain from the evidence pre-
scented by the defense during the af- |
ternoon that the defense will rely up
on the fact that as a result Of brood
ing over his family troubles and the
separation from his wife that the mind
of Cranberry had to : extent become
unbalanced and that he constantly
thought of his troubles and was
changed to such an extent that he
was not wholly responsible mentally.
DR.. Lenehan was on the stand and
gave evidence tending to show the
condition of a mans mind under the
circumstances that were detailed to
him.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Number of Witnesses Heard And St
louis Dispositions Read.

Judge Hart came in some minute
before the expiration of the recess
occupying his time by reading thu
morning papers. The defendant sa
with his counsel and friends ant
chatted in the most cheerful manner
manifesting little evidence of the
shock that he had experienced in re
lating the story on the witness stand
Court was opened exactly at 1:SC
O'clock and the formal poll of the
jury was at once made.
Jake Alexander was the first wit
ness called He testified that he lived
at Mt. Pleasant and has lived there
all of his life. He has been farmer
and in the livery business also. He
has been we'll acquainted with Harry
Cranberry for twelve years; they have
been intimate friends He had con-
versation with defendant at the Con-
federate monument at Mt. Pleasant on
the night of the killing of Long. Wit
ness identified map of the square
of Mt. Pleasant and explained where
he and CRANBERRY stood on the night
Of the tragedy. The witness and
Harry discussed his family troubles.
They talked of this only a few mo-
ments and he changed the conversa-
ton. Witness saw defendant that af-
ternoon at his fathers livery stable,
but they did not have any talk then.
He saw the defendant at Anderson's
drug store at 8 o'clock that night.
They had talk at this time. He was
with Jack CRANBERRY and Evan Hunter
and they all went to the telephone
We, where they had bottle Of beer
apiece. The next place he saw Harry
was at the monument. They then
walked over to the monument. While
at the telephone Office he and Harry
talked about going West together.
Harry said he did not have the money
to go and would make It and then
they would go West. After talking
At the monument the witness and de-
'endant walked to the stable to get a

Cross Examination.

Witness said that he saw the defen-
dant about 2 o'clock the afternoon of
the killing, but he was across the
street from witness. He said defen-
dant was Eighty while they were
| drinking beer. Asked what happened
to make witness think defendant
Eighty when drinking beer, the wit
ness said nothing in particular. In
going from the stable to the pool
room the defendant would change
| from one subject to another. When
they got under the electric light going
into the pool room the witness saw
Harry's eyes and they had wild look
in them. They were on the sidewalk
when witness saw the flighty eyes of
the defendant
On redirect examination counsel
for defense brought out that witness
was before the grand jury as a wit
ness for the State. Then Attorney
General Garner asked witness If he
did not tell the grand jury that he
saw nothing unusual about Granbery |
on the night of the killing. The wit |
ness said he thought he stated to the
grand jury that he noticed wild look
in defendants eyes when he was
shooting Long, but that he truthfully
answered all questions asked him.
GCharIes Alexander
Charles Alexander was the next wit
ness. He is a brother of Jake Alex
ander and is in the livery business
with his father. He has known Gran
berry for twenty years. Has known
Harry intimately for seven or eight
years. Witness was superintendent
Of R. w. Martins mines while Harry
CRANBERRY was out at his brothers I
mines. They were together in Texas
about six weeks. Witness was at
Martins mines while Harry was at
lis brothers mines. The work of
witness was not far from the mines
where Harry was at work. Witness
emembers the time when Harry and
lis wife separated. Harry often talked
0 witness about his troubles. Every
ime Harry was with witness he would
efer to his family matters and to his
orrow at being separated from his
life and child. He often said that he
wed them very much, but was not
BILE to give them a home like he
anted to. CRANBERRY was seen by
illness with his wife before the sepa-
alton. Prior to his troubles with his
ife Harry was jolly, light.hearted

ever showed that he had malice to- N
ard any one, But after the separa-

witness indicated where be and de-
fendant had gotten when they decided
10 90 TO Peters pool room; 1t was on
the suggestion Of witness that they
decided TO 90 there. He did not re-
lcall what was said on the way to the
pool room. Harry preceded witness
into the pool room. Defendant walked
into the pool room with his hands
swinging at his side Harry was the
first to 60 through the partition door;
he was swinging his hands. When
Harry walked into the pool room he

once. He seemed to hesitate after
the first shot, then Long fell and Har-
ry continued to shoot. AS soon as
the shooting was over Harry walked
out of the room. There was a crowd
at the door and Harry said he had
killed the man who caused a separa-
ton from defendant and his wife and
child. This was all defendant said.
They did not know Long was in the
pool room when they entered. The
witness said CRANBERRY was white and
wild-looking when he shot Long, but
he seemed to have a steady nerve
and was careful not to shoot anyone i
else. Asked about Granbery's man.
ner and disposition before his separa-
ton from his wife, witness said that /
he had an amiable, sunny disposition;
he was friendly, jolly and loved to
joke. Never seemed to have any
malice against any one. After the
defendant and his wife separated there
was a marked change in the defen-
dant's manner. He lost his love of
jokes; was sad and never had any
thing to say much. Witness noticed
in the conversation with CRANBERRY at
on night of shooting that
be was sad, morose and troubled and
talked incoherently, always coming
back to his family troubles. He could
not get his mind off his family trou-
Dles. Defendant often after separa-
lion spoke of his love for his wife and
little child and seemed to brood over
lis troubles. Harry Granbery's char
icter was good and he would give /
him full faith and credit. His reputa-
ion for peace was good
