Attacks Dying Declaration.
Tho counsel then turned his atten-
tion to the dying declaration. OF Miss
Petra Somoa, the nurse, he declared
her evidence showed Ross had been
in a delirium tho night before the
statement was signed. and that he
was drowsy the morning 1t was sign
ed. He also declared that her own
evidence showed that she had been
Ross head, and that DR.. Anderson
had been seated between her and the
patient at the time, and that she
could not possibly be in a position to
state that Ross was conscious and
awake at all times that the statement
was being read to him.
OF Sheriff Serum he declared his
evidence showed he had beer seated
in such q manner that he could not

self for that purpose.
The evidence relative to the ques-
ton of whether Or not any one had
touched the bed or bed clothing as
the statement was being read. and at
a time when Ross was supposed to
have appeared as though he was
partly asleep. he said three witnesses
had sworn that no one touched the
clothes, while DR.. Anderson, who
was supposed to have touched the
clothing, admitted that he had done
30. unconscously.
Several features Of the dying state
ment, Mr.. Bangs said, had been
shown to be at variance with the act
ual facts.
In his statement 1t was said. that
Ross and Cooper had clinched and
that he had not struck Cooper. John
Fowler had all testified that in the
fight the night before the killing, that
Ross had used vile words in ad-
dressing Cooper, and that he had
beat him time and again, and that
he had choked him. In the state
ment Ross admitted choking Cooper.
Regard for Law.
When this fight was over. or even
before 1t was over. Tracy Bangs said
the defendant had called to Tom
Fowler to get the sheriff and arrest
Ross. and that afterwards he, Cooper,
had called the sheriff. This III itself,
