is the consensus of opinion, that the
case of the state was not strengthened.
Leslie Bertram, aged II, testified that
as Grady Forman came from Galbreath 5
store on the heels of young Compton, he
heard him say that he would kill Connie
unless he let tho Formans alone. But
Bertram could remember nothing else
which Grady said, although he stated that
Grady had remained ON the scene for some
time longer.
Gertrude Compton aged 12 sister of
the deceased, testified that she had fol-
lowed her brother, Connie, to Gabreath s
store, and that when Grady .Forman came
out, she heard him say to G. b. Forman.
Come on and We'll kill him" Mr.. Burr
succeeded in confusing her to a certain
extent and her testimony was not as
forceful as it might otherwise have been.
Hugh Herring, aged 49, swore that he
heard lone of the Formans say that .un-
less We can take a stick and beat hell
out of him, we will have to kill him, -
But Hugh couldn't state which of the
Formans had made the remark alleged.
He could not remember with whom he
had talked although he did remember
that he had talked with someone. When
asked IL he had talked with Mr.. Comp
ton, he replied, II can't remember" When
asked IL his recollection WAS bad he
replied, Il reckon 1t Is"
Vera Henley young lady, testified
that on the afternoon just before the
tragedy she had seen G. b. Forman in
the postoffice, that he was in an apparent
angry state of mind, that he walked to
and from, from corner to corner. When
asked however. to describe minutely how
Mr. Forman looked, she replied: Mad

fendants as If he was preparing to assail
them in turn, peculiar thrill ran through
the marrow of those who saw and heard
But the sway of the tragic was not
perpetual. There was comedy, too. There
was much evidence adduced of such a
droll character that spectators were forced
to laugh aloud. And there were incl
dents in which whimsical human nature
was so emphatically brought to light that
one in an instant might have imagined
himself at the mercy of well schooled vau-
deville stars.
In the beginning there seemed to be no
place In which the trial could be held

PROTESTS AGAINST
SUCH USE OF PROPERTY

This brought the owner of the establish
ment Mr.. Matthews, upon the scene, pro-
testing against making of his house the
scene of murder trial. 1t was thereupon
announced that the only other available
place was around the lake in the OPEN
The defense objected and the magistrates
admitted the justice of the objection.
| Whereupon, just spectators were de-
spairing lest no trial be held, Dr. Martin
! offered to pay Mr.. Matthews for whatever
| damage to building and contents the court
and the spectators might produce
| Whereupon Mr.. Matthews said to the
crowd or the court:
That will be all right If someone will
back Dr. Martin"
John Livingston thereupon came forth
and agreed ito back DR.. Martini" where
at Mr.. Matthews announced himself sat

| He decided, however, to estimate in ad-
vance to what the damage would amount,
and thereby precipitated the crowd into
shouts of laughter.

nounced itself ready for business, and the

Grady Forman. When cross-examined,
however, he testified that G.. b. didn t
shoot at all before Connie secured the
revolver.
Jim Nabors, a youngster of about 20
years, was so pat in his testimony that
Attorney Burr grew sarcastic in asking
questions on cross-examination. The at
torney finally adduced the fact that the
witness had been talking with the father
of the deceased and thus impressed the
crowd with the idea that the testimony
had been rehearsed
Moses Dyer testified that the shot which
G. b. Forman fired at Compton and the
shot which Compton fired at Forman were
close together and this gave Mr.. Burr
opportunity to raise the question as
to whether Forman fired first, as other
witnesses had sworn, or whether Compton
fred first.
Try to Bring Out Motive
1t was late in the evening when testi-
mony was adduced tending to show that
the Formans had motive in desiring the
death of Compton. Mayor Galbreath was
called to the stand to give testimony con-
cerning movements of the principals on
the evening preceding the tragedy. He
said in part:
THE principals were in my store on
the preceding night G.. B. Forman was

to G.. b. Forman, asked: what is that

''I did not see Forman kick Compton
after he had fallen. He walked away,
and as he passed me, heard him say
that he had to kill the boy to prevent

Mr.. Ash, a well known resident of
Springville, testified: Il was ringing up

Compton was the man on top. Finally,
the boy was pulled off or rolled off. AS
he was on his right knee, G. B. Forman
sot him twice.
Mr.. Compton was again overcome. His
daughter, Mrs. Norton, almost forcibly
made him turn his gaze from the de-
PENDANTS.
Mr. Ash continued: Connie then shot
