Events On Morning Of
November 4th.

While on the witness stand in his
McQuaid declared that he did not re-
member anything of the actual shoot
ing on November 4th last and while
having a dim recollection of purchas-
ing revolver in Theo. HI. Davies &,
COmpany's store. his returning con-
sciousness and understanding came to
him only after he found himself
wounded, lying on the floor of the
Baltimore Dairy.
McQuaid's examination was resum-
ed by Attorney e. A. Douthitt when
court convened at 8 o'clock.
Douthitt's first question bore upon
the nature of the relations that eX-
listed between McQuaid and his wife
during the period up to January of
last whether they were pleas
ant or otherwise.
"Our relations were pleasant and
happy" was McQuaid's reply, 81 don't

'Had you been drinking any into
xicating liquor shortly prior to Nov
ember 4th last" McQuaid was asked.
81 had not touched liquor for about
three weeks" was the reply.

chase on November 3rd last" asked
Douthitt.

was the next question.
Revolver for Burglar.
In reply McQuaid stated that he
had given his wife draft few days
before and that she had cashed it. He
declared that he went home to his
home one evening. he thought it was
the day following the one upon which
he had given his wife the draft. and
upon entering the front door his at
tention was attracted by the sound of
falling crockery in the rear of the
house. Investigation showed that a
window to the bathroom was open
but he thought nothing of the incident
until the following day when his wife
asked him if he had taken $4,000 from
her trunk. He stated that he did not
and it was the final conclusion of Nc
Quad and his wife that someone had
entered the house the night before
and stole the money.

showed that someone had secured en-
trance to the house by way of the
bathroom and McQuaid testified that
he then decided to purchase revolv-
er and be prepared for any other mar
auders that appeared on the scene.
McQuaid then stated that he pur-
chased a revolver on November 3rd.

"Was that revolver taken from
you" asked Douthitt.
'It was" replied McQuaid, "it was
taken from me by my wife when

! was sick and do not know how to
describe it. I asked my wife if she
had taken the revolver and she said
that she had. She said she took the
revolver to Frank Thompson. She
then said that she had employed Frank
Thompson and said something about
a divorce. Later she qualified it by
stating that she had seen Frank
Thompson and he said he would help
her if needed. She first had Ashford
but said that he talked nice and did
nothing.
"I can't remember all that occurred
then" said McQuaid. 'I was keyed
up to the breaking point and I hardly

"Do you remember anything of the

declared McQuaid with emphasis.
"The next thing I knew I came to

owners in this and other tracts on
terms of about one-fourth down and
the balance in monthly installments
