mansion"
 Were you expecting to meet John Sharp that day?"
 We were not"
 Tn what order did you walk up the street?"
 Stopped Several Times.
 q do not remember exactly. I think 1 was in front of papa and MT. Sharp. They stopped to look at some excavat- ing and I went back to them, waited and again walked on ahead. When we got to Vine street, or Seventh avenue, MT. Sharp was with me. At this mo- ment I saw MT. Carmack down on Seventh avenue near Church street, a block away. I returned to MT. sharp and said.
 "'There comes Senator CarmaclS don't let papa see him. l whispered it and then to papa I said: Let's hurry up, papa
 1 Did you say to your father, Let's go up here,' and did he reply, No, let's stay here awhile?'"
 No, sir; when papa came up to me got him by the arm and turned him north toward the governors mansion I began to hurry him and he pulled away, saying Whats the matter with you then he turned and exclaimed Say, Is that Senator Carmack? Yes, I'll go over and talk to him now
 q said: Oh, no, papa, you must not. He said I know Carmack; he knows me. There will be no trouble I let him go about 20 feet. I did not know what to do, then I went over to him."
 Why did you think you should go over with him?'
 Remembered the Note.
 'I remembered the note papa had sent and l feared for him."
 Did you fear your father would at tack Senator Carmack?"
 Not the least fear in the world
 What did you think was your fath- er's purpose in going over there?"
 The state objected to most of these questions and was overruled.
 "I believed 1t was to talk with the senator about those publications"
 Your father so told you before he walked away from you?'
 ''Yes. And knew it from what had happened that morning at o'clock.
 What was that?"
 The state again objected and was sustained over protests of the defense.
 Was there a statement later than a. m. made by your father that led you to have faith in your fathers pacific intention?'
 Again the state objected and again was sustained. If you believed his mission was peaceful, why did you go with him."
 Because he was my father and be- lieved it my duty to protect him as he was luna ble to protect himself.
 Did you believe Senator Carmack knew of your fathers changed attitude?'
 ''No sir. 1 knew he did not. Father turned over and got on the sidewalk. followed him in the street and got in the direction of the two posts. Papa was on the sidewalk. l was in the street al most even with him.
 Meeting With Carmack.
 Senator Carmack was about to pass Mrs Eastman and was putting his hat back on his head. Papa spoke to him as he was passing her without expecting to speak. Papa said: Senator Carmack," and instantly the senator drew his re- volver
 ''1t came out instantly just like this (the witness illustrated the motion1 It par a1yzed me for minute and l sprang to- ward papa as Carmack began to back to- ward the pole.
 ''As I jumped a shot exploded in my face. The bullet struck my neektie and went into my shoulder. I went after my gun, which was in my overcoat pocket. The second shot went through my sleeve and entered the post. 1 slipped around the post and found Carmack aiming at me again"
 What did you do then?"
 "I began firing. l fired three shots as fast as l could, leaning against the post
