Mr. WOlcott sald Cara was a witness

had Deen examined by AttoIney-Gen-
eral Gray IN mis- Office and during the
trial Mr.. Wolcott said sne repudlated
the statements made in private. Mr..
Wolcott said Clara was the only eye
witness TO the shooting OF Frisby by
Primrose while going to camp meet
ing.
The first witness called in to-day's
trial was Deputy Clerk of the Peace
John l.. Wright who produced the Ed
ward Primrose indictment.
Court Stenographer Hardesty testi-
fed regarding the trial of Primrose
and identified the prisoner as being a
witness in the case.
Detective Harry l. Gillis said he was
at the Primrose trial and heard the
prisoner testify regarding the shoot
ing Of Frisby. He also heard the wo-
man testify before the Attorney-Gen-
eral in his office.
Detective Gillis testified that the
woman told the Attorney-Gener that
Primrose came up to the side of the
buggy, pulled down Frisbys head with
his left hand and shot him with his
right hand.
Gillis said the woman also testified
that the reason she testified different
~ at another time was that she prom
ised Ed Primrose to talk on his
side
Or. Philip Money, Of Townsend,
said he was a witness in the Prim-
rose murder trial, and present in the
Attorney-Generals Office when the
woman was examined Deputy At
torney-General Wolcott, Detective
Gillis, Constable Van Horn and Mr..
Simmons also were present. Wit
ness said he heard the prisoner say
how Frisby was shot. Witnes said
he was impressed by the statement
made by the girl. He had examined
Frisby after he was shot and said
the story Of the shooting was very
plausible on account of the position
of the bullet and its course.
DR., Money said he had heard the
woman say that the reason she told
a different story to the Attorney-Gen
eral was that she promised to talk
for Primrose.
Court Stenographer Hardesty read
the testimony given during the trial
by the prisoner. In II she denied she
had told the Attorney-General in his
office that Primrose had pulled down
Frisby's head with his left hand and
shot him in the back of the head with
the revolver in his right hand.
The state then rested and Mr..
Brockson presented a motion to in
struct the jury to render a verdict Of
not guilty.
The court refused to so instruct the
jury.
For the defence Clara Thomas tes-
titled she is 10 years Of age and
had never attended school.
