(By Associated Press.l

WATSEKA. ILL.,. April John Grun-
den. the third defendant in the SayIer
murder trial, took the witness stand and
told of seeing j. B. Sayler attack Dr.
w. r. Miller and of the struggle which
ended in DR.. Miller shooting sayler.
The version of what occurred as rela-
TED by GIunden, who is % years old,
differed in no essential from the story
narrated by his daughter, Mrs. ]. B. Say
Ter. or by DIR. W. r. Miller. on trial with
him for the murder of SayIer
Grunden told of going with him to the
porch that Sunday night and asking Mr..
Sayler to join in game of cards.
He refused" said Grunden. and 1
urged him again and still he would not
come 1 went back to the parlor. then
into the ether room for my hat, and then
back again to the parlor.
Then [ saw Sayler rushing toward Dr.
Miller, brandishing an axe, and heard
him say, am prepared for this; I'm
going to kill you l started to separate
them The lamp overturned. 1 saw the
flames or shots, and L stopped. Then |
saw Sayler stagger back and fall. 1
grabbed the gun from DR.. Miller and
helped him bind up his wrist. Then | went
to call the neighbors."
Toward the end of his cross-examina-
ton, Grunden became confused. He de-
clared that when the last shot was fired,
Sayler was on top of DIR. Miller in the
red rocking chair, and that no word was
spoken i'm the struggle.
This contradicted Grunden's inquest
testimony as to what was said by Sayler
and Miller Grunden said he was sober
the night of the shooting, but had drunk
a gill of whisky during the day.
Coda Sayler, daughter of ]. B. Sayler,
then took the stand.
