evidence yesterday, as the one which
was delivered to him by Walter
Howe. an the evening of the shoot
ing.
H. Holdorf told of taking the gun
from Dunn's hand, as he lay on the
pavement, and made the second wit
ness, who testified to taking the gun
from Dunn. Walter Howe made the
same statement yesterday. He was
not cross examined.
Robert I, Richardson. a pharma-
cist at McGrath Bros. drug store testi-
fed that he ran out on the sidewalk
when he heard the shots. He said
that Dunn's hand was underneath
him and that as it was withdrawn, he
either dropped the gun, or 1t was
wrenched from his hand.
AT this point. Mr.Co!d drew sharp
reprimand from Judge Banks for criti.
cising the courts method of conduct
ing the case. This was caused by an
objection of Mr.. Craig's which was
sustained by Judge Bank and which
called for some remarks from Mr.. Nc
Cold.
DIR. H A. Gray told Of the condi-
ton Of Mr.. Hickey at tbs hospital
an dthe course OF the bullets. His pro
fessional opinion as to the general re-
suit OF such wounds was ruled out by
Judge Bank as improper.
Practically the only witness that
the state produced to show the intent.
as charged in the Indictment, was
Harold Johnson, the next witness,
who said that he ran out OF Racey's
restaurant when he heard the shots
and followed Dunn when he started
up Fifth street. He said that he
caught up with him near the alley be-
tween Main and Blondeau streets and
that Dunn remarked, II tried to kill
the big but | shot my
self instead" Upon cross examina-
ton the witness could not be shaken.
H. J. Mills. secretary and treasurer
of McGrath Bros. Drug Co. was the
last witness but nothing new was de-
| veloped from his testimony. He
stood pat under rigid cross-examina-
| ton and refused to vary from his or.
| iginal statement.
| AT 1920 o'clock, the defense rest
ed and Judge Bank adjoured court un-
til two o'clock this afternoon.
Dunn and his attorneys all express
ed the pleasure that they felt, when
the state rested and declared that the
case was not nearly as hard to beat
as they had anticipated.
The defense will call about fifteen
witnesses and will likely spend this af
ternoon and most Of Wednesday tax
ing testimony, SO the tary vii. not
/ likely get to deliberate upon a yer
dict before Thursday afternoon.
/ Immediately upon converting this
afternoon, the defense, as the initia
step in their case, introduced copies
Of The Gate City and another evenint

May 20, in an effort to discredit tn,
testimony of Harold Johnson.
!, For several minutes, Mr.. Craig an,
Mr.. Miller. for the state, objecte,
strenuously to the introduction o
Z. these papers, but finally allowed then
to be taken. Their objections wer'
based, principally upon the fact tina
there had been no proper Foundation
laid for the impeachmentao OF johnson
Mr.. McCoid also introduced al
almanac to show that the sun had Sc

i, BY agreement of the attorneys upol
both sides, the court was adjourne,
