The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1911-09-01

/ raul btatlle testimony was EoHfiffn
ed or not successfully assailed, and on
only the single feature as TO whether
or not the gun was taken to pieces
and wrapped up was there essential
variation from his story of the pur-
chase. That he said to the boy who
waited on him that he wanted the
gun to use on Mayo's Bridge, where
/ he was Waterman, was testified to,
| but seemed rather obscure as to whg-
ther he meant tho gun or pistol
! that he had ordered to he used at
that point. As to the hour at which
| he came to the store to buy the gun
| the two Weinsteins were hopelessly
at variance. one saying that it was ! 0
| o clock in the morning or between
10 and H. while the other confirmed
Paul Beattie's story absolutely by
placing the hour in the late after
noon.
David on the Stand
David Weinstein was the first wit
ness to take the stand yesterday morn
inf lie testified that he was seven
teen years OF age; that he worked In

been in the office Ave years
