Testified DR.. C. F. Dalton in
Turley Trial This Afternoon
PRESENTED AS EVIDENCE
Presentation Was Objected to by Attor-
ney-General on Ground That Trousers
Were Different Color From That
Which Appeared in Evidence.

On the reopeuing of the trial of Joi&>
Turley, charged with the murder of John
McAuley in Websterville last July,
in Washington county court this after
noon, the state put on DIR. C. F. Dalton,
chemist at the state laboratory of by.
giene, and the witness was first ex.
amined by Mr. Senter for the respondent.
Asked how long it would take for aIco-
hol in beer and wine to be absorbed by
the human system, so that only slight
traces would remain in the stomach,
witness said, 1.-TWO hours"
"Dd you examine the pockets of Nc
Auley's clothing?" was next asked.
81 did not" was the answer.
At this point Attorney General Sar.
gent questioned the witness, asking if
a man, after being struck on the head
as McAuley was, could have got up and
walked any distance. The witness re-
piled that he couldn't say but he
thought il might have been possible.
Next package was produced, con-
tanning a pair of trousers, oyeralls and
shoes DR. Dalton was asked if, on ex-
animation, he had found any blood on
any of the articles; and the witness
replied that he did not find any blood.
The articles were then submitted by
Attorney Senter as evidence, to which
the attorney general objected because,
as he understood il, the trousers were
said to belong to Turley, whereas Tur-
ley's trousers were blue according to the
evidence, and these we're black.
Judge Taylor refused to accept the
tronsers, the overalls and the shoes as
evidence.
Sheriff Frank Tracy was the next wit
ness on the stand, being eross-examined
by Mr.. Senter. He was handed pack
age, containing a hunters license made
ont to John McAuley, a 50-cent piece,
scent piece. an Elgin watch and a
small corkscrew, and the witness identi-
fed the articles as having been taken
from the pockets of the dead man by
him
The arrival Of the much talked Of
"Big jim" to-day showed that ne will
be used as witness in a short time.
"Big Jim" was the man Who accord
ing to several witnesses, was selling
beer at the party early on the evening
when McAuley died.
