Why ham. hs

the cries and shot. Why hasn't ha
been called?"
Il know of no such man." replied Mr..
Wendenburg
air Wendenburg protested that Mr..
Smith had been allowed to 20 into a
lengthy and tedious examination of
raul Beattie which Coroner TAYLOR
would not have allowed and that Mr.
smith, as attorney for the defense.
was attempting 10 use the coroner's
court to Peep into the hands of tho
o,her side so as to. prepare his case for
the upper court.
coroner Loving explained that under
ordinary circumstances no such lati-
tude would have been allowed, but thai
me case In hand presented extraordin-
airy circumstances. and the eEamina-
ton had therefore gone far beyond
me usuai latitude of coroncrs in
quest, both in tho cross examination
OF Henry Beattie by Mr.. Wendenburg
on Friday. and the crosse xamination
OF Paul Beattic by Mr.. Smith
Policeman Jarrell was sworn and
asked whether no knew tho name OF a
man who had heard the cries and. shot
MT. FARRELL replied that he had lust
peen told since tho question arose that
sam Talley. OF Chesterfield county
heard the shot and cries. but that hs
lad not known 1T until a few moments
before; In fact had talked with Taliey
SINCE the crime. and Talley had not
mentioned st. Mr.. Talley was found
not TO be present To set the point
at rest without waiting for n witness
to be summoned Special Agent Scherer
took the stand and stated that in the
course of his investigation he had
talked with several persons who heard
the shot. but not the horn. Some had
heard some ono "holler."
Tho detective did not question thu
TACT. as some had stated. they had
heard tho noise OF somebody hollerins
for half mile. and he thought IL
probably true. lie had not questioned
them closely about the horn.
All Evidence Closed.

case and for their efficiency in secur-
Ing evidence. Ha also thanked tho

stances had sought to give as little

There was one detail that he wished
TO set straight, however. In the pub.
