man. who testified in the morning
that he was on his way to AndersOn's
garage when he heard a shot fired,
and who had also testified previously
for the state that he found the bullet
jacket DON after the shooting OF
Funk. Before Attorney Lawrence had
finished with Callahan, he gave him
something Of a grilling, and Callahan
seemed to be lodging some of the
questions fired at him so rapidly. He
couldn't tellhow many times he had
talked with the states attorney about
the case before the %coroner's inquest,
and he couldn't remember whether or
not he had told Of the sound of the
shot, but he did admit finding the
jacket of the bullet on top of the ice
box in the Funk shed. He admitted
that he had been a particular friend
Of Anderson's, and that Anderson had
Anderson had been a good customer
of his garage. =

At first he denied that Anderson
had given him a number of valuable
presents, but he finally stated that
Anderson had at time given him
a watch, and also an engine, a leather
coat, an auto coat and set of auto
wrenches. He said he had cared for
Arderson's touring car after his ar.
rest and said he had associated with
Attorney Netcher for the defense, at
ter being introduced, by Anderson's
brother, Emil, the county treasurer.
| Callahan said that Anderson had
most of the time two cars to be taken
care Of. and some Of the time. three,

ana gone to the rear of the hall, he
was recalled by Attorney Bangs. who
asked him as to whether or nc: his

| erce his testimony, and GallahaH said
it. wculd not. Attorney Lawrence re
torted that he didn't suppose he

Anderson remained unmOved, and his
Co%untenance did not change.

filter, by the name of Howard Miller
from the firm of Grambs & peet oil

ner's nippers, and the sides of tn.
galvanized iron bent back. 1t il
through that box, as introduced, that
it might have peer the place where
the empty cartridge had been thrown
1t is also said that Attorney Law
renee will refer to this in rebuttal
and he may show who found the emp
ty shell. Miller said he had closed
the other three radiator boxes during
the winter, with the exception Of the
one under the den. Miller said he
had looked at these boxes on the Mon

miles out of Washburn, said he knew
Anderson and Funk for a number o.
years and had seen them frequently
at the bank. He said he had been in
the bank on the Saturday before
Funk was killed, but Attorney Law
rence's objection as to whether Rit
nour had asked where Funk was, was
sustained by the court, as being in
material. lRitnour said that later in
the day he saw both Funk and Amber
son in the bank together, and his re
ply az to whether there was anything
out OF the ordinary in the manner Of
