Afternoon Session.
James Poor, employed at Huntley's
livery barn, was the first witness at
the afternoon session, and testified
to, being In the Office door OF the
barn when he heard the shot on the
evening of Funk's death. Like the
notce OF a neXpl0siOn, he said 1t had
a short dead SQUAD" but did not To-
cate the shot at any particular place.
Mr.. Bangs objected to this testi-
mony.. At first the court sustained
the objection, when when the ques-
ton was again read to the witness
the court Overruled the objection, and
Poor stated that he thought a rifle
would have made a quick, sharp
sound; not like this explosion, but
coarser, louder, and more deadening
than a rifle shot.
Attorney Bangs moved that Poor's
comparison be stricken out, but his
motion was denied.

den asked him who was shooting, and
he, sal he replied that he thought Wal
ford Anderson was blasting holes to
plant trees.
Experienced With Guns.
Hansen said he was experienced
with guns and high power guns, and
was familiar with the sound of a
rifle fired in the open air, and thought
an open air report would have been
shorter and would have had more of
action. When he noticed there was
something wrong at Funk's house, he
asked Madden as to the shooting. He
saw Captain Leach going in a back
way and while looking east he saw

When half across the street he
saw Mrs. Funk and her son, and when
he reached the shed platform where

Ing in the ground for trees. He said
he had used dynamite himself and
said the explosions sounded like the
one he heard at Funk's, only longer.
He admitted that the idea OF a rifle
being fired was suggested to him by
someone else.

and had heard them fired in q house,
and that a report inside was louder.
