When Rebeeca said something about it's
being a joke and McAuley offered to
shake hands, Turley refused and was
surly afterward,
'The witness Rebecc, und ner mother
said anything and everything suggested
to them by counsel for the respondent
and lent themselves to the substantial
ton of any claim the respondent might
make. AT first they said neither MeAu-
/ ley or Turley had been at their home
that night. Later they said both mad
been there and went away at 10 o'clock.
~In the ruling allowing " Groccia
to state why he left the state immcdi-
ately after the killing Of McAuley there
was no error. He was one of the men
engaged in beer selling at the dump
and proved that his action was not
due to any motive connected with the
murder,
ave call attention to the statements
as to the tendency of the evidence; that
the deceased was last seen as he was
going away from the Staples house at
about IL o'clock at night that the
respondent when the deceased left was
at that house dressed in white shirt
and dark trousers with no coat; tnat
after the deceased left the respondent
remained short time, about ten nm

dark trousers and white shirt with no
coat was seen going down the path
which the deceased had taken when he
left; that man could walk from sta

in about Is minutes; that about LAS a
man dressed in dark clothes with light
shirt was seen going from the scene OF
the killing past the Bissette house
toward respondents lodging place; that
at about LAS o'clock or O'Clock
man was heard walking up the steps
of his lodging house and the screen door
was heard TO slam; that the respondent
got to his lodging house about Las
o'clock and that at few minutes be- |
fore | man was lying groaning in the
place where the deceased was found.
"The respondent failed to account for |
an hour of the time between the time |
he left the Staples house and the time
he reached his lodgings. The motive |
was jealousy on account of the girl Re-
becca. The material taken from the
cellar of the house formerly occupied
by Primavera was plant and the

In closing for the respondent, Attorney
Senter said:
CAS- to the exception regarding the
Earring of a question asked jurors, Mr.
Senter argued that it was admissible,
according to the ruling of many courts,
o question juror to ascertain his in
diligence and mental breadth.
"There is no question" said Mr.. Sem
