OF people, though Anderson did get
Just inside the shed door for a min

on Anderson exclaimed: "My God,
they can't suspect me-"
Tears Came to His Eyes.
When the court ruled that Peterson
|cOuld state whether or not there was
any other conversation. Peterson
said that. while he did not see that
AndersOn's face was flushed or that
his face had ny unusual color, he
did notice that he appeared to be
grief stricken and that tears came
to his eyes. Peterson also told OF
he and Anderson going into the
house and how they searched the
house from the Easement to the gar
ret, and that they went to the garage,
though while the garage was being
searched Anderson remained at his
house near a north corner. While
they went through the house Ander,
soon took a revolver with him. Peter
son said that after the garage had
been searched they went further
north and up the hill to the Congre-
gational church, and searched the
basement. There they found the base,
ment partly open, but those who
heard the testimony said the open
door could be accounted for from the
fact that Attorney Madden and Al
torney McCulloch searched the
church basement before Peterson
went there. Peterson said that after
the search had been made he and An
derson and Perry and Harry Waht
and Harry Johnson came down town

defense and stated that she was al
her home at the time the shot was
fired and it sounded to her as though /
it had come from off the hill and that. I
though it was very loud, she thought
at the time that it was boys shooting |
gophers.

Her husband followed her on the
stand and he said he had known Wal
fred Anderson ever since he was a
boy. He had also known Funk since
he cane to Washburn, and that, while

August VAIL, the postmaster of
ever since 1898, said he
was hurrying to the %postotice to dis
tribute mail when he heard the shot
fred that evening. The train had
been late that evening and he was
a short cut down town from
MS home. He heard the shot, but did
pay enough attention 10 ii TO tell
