.LOONEY IS HELD
ON $1,000 BAIL
Is Bound Over to the Grand
Jury on Charge of Assault
With Intent to Murder.
MUCH EVIDENCE is HEARD
Witnesses Are Put on Stand to Show
Wilmerton Fired First Three
Shots of the Duel.

Justice J. H. Cleland yesterday af-
.ternoon held John Looney to the grand
Jury on a charge of assault with in
tent to commit murder, but reduced
the defendants bond to a fifth of the
soriginal bond, or $1,000, the bail re-
squired first having been $4,000.
The defense, as indicated by the
earlier testimony, made its case on
the grounds of selfdefense, and intro
iduced a number of witnesses with a
view to showing that Wilmerton was
the one who fired first, and that Loon
ey did not shoot until after Wilmerton
had fired three times. The state, how
ever, was careful to bring out the fact
that Looney fired the last shot. and
that he fired when Wilmerton Had
turned and was running toward his
office, and the state devoted itself
chiefly to the evidence regarding this
last shot.
Evidence is taken.
Mrs. Alice Reyes of Milan and w
w. Duffin, her grandfather, were stand
ing on Third avenue, and both testi-
fed that Wilmerton shot twice or three
times before Looney fired at all.
Charles Ginnane said he was walking
east on the north side of Third ave.
nue., and was just east of Eighteenth
street, when he heard the shots. He
said Wilmerton shot twice before
Eooney pulled his gun. Regarding the
last shot, Ginnane said Wilmerton was
going toward his office, and he added
that he had thought that Looney had
counted the shots and was going af
ter Wilmerton then" George w. Red
dig testified that he was in his office
during the duel. but could see Looney
He said he heard two or three shots
and saw Looney fumbling in his
clothes in search of his gun. Kit Aa
kinson said he was on the street, anf
he was positive that there were two
shots fired before Looney drew his CUR
and fired. George T. Lowe thought
there were three shots before Loone,
fired at all. J. NJ. Richardson was sur,
there were two shots before Loone,
pulled his gun, and so was James Nc
Conochie.

went in pursuit. They cut across to
