fence between the two houses at
a line opposite the rear of the
two houses. McCulloch repeated
the statement of John Satterlund
which was:
"The shot came from that win
dow,''
McCulloch then osaid that An
derson remarked:
Il don't see how you can say
that. There was no one in the
house but me, and l was filling
the batteries in the basement"
did you hear the noise" Mr..
McCulloch said he asked Anderso
to whichsAnderson replied:
II did, and it sounded like my
furnace door had fallen"
"You can search the house,
and you will find no one there" :"
McGulloch said that they starte
the search. Two or three days
latterdMcC Culloch had CONVEX
sation with Anderson at the coun
ty Jail and he thought he had
one the next morning after the
shooting. When he.asked. .Anderso
who took off the storm sash from
the den window, Anderson re-
piled:
IL did,"
why did you leave it at the
north corner and but the bath
room storm windows in the
garage" McCulloch said he had
asked of Anderson.
Because there was something
else to be done, and l left the
den window there" q
McCulloch said Anderson had
told him he had gone down town
about 4:30, went to the bank and
then went to his supper, came
back to the bank, talked with Mr..
Funk. He said that he and Mr..
Funk left the bank together, but
that Funk went back after some
thing while he(Anderson) went
on home, and had been home abo. t
ten minutes when the shooting
occurred. Mr.. Bangs did not
cross examine Mr.. McCulloch.
Ludwig Peterson, proprietor OF
a pool hall on main street, said
he went the block past the fire
hall direct to Funk's residence
about twenty-five minutes after
the shooting. He met Anderson
in Funk s yard, and went on in
to the shed at rear Of the house.
Later he crossed the fence with
McCulloch and into .Anderson's
house through the back door in tn
northeast corner. Peterson. said
Anderson was ahead Of both he
and McCulloch, and that Ander-
son asked them if they wanted to
see any of his guns. and they
replied 9" no." Peterson said
they then started search Of the
rooms Of the house, and after they
rsached the upstairs he noticed
. geret hole in the ceiling over
the stairway hall. He thought
it well to look into it. Peterson
said Walfred boosted him up
there and after he saw the gar
ret was dark it made him feel
Creepy, - SO he lighted some
matches he had in his pocket.
