Some People Are Cheeky.

An unknown man attempted
to make his way into the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lucius Castillo,
on Monday night, where Miss
Lucille Castillo, was entertaining
a number of her friends.
The man was told to go back
to town, but he said that he had
just as much business there as
anyone and would get in. How
ever when it was seen that he
would not depart the police de-
paftment was called and Officer
Goodloe escorted the stranger to
the city court.

in this famous KIDNAPPING case.
DR.. Shute testified that he treat
ed Bobbie Dunbar when he was
severely burnt on the floor, when
a little tot and that he examined

o'clock Saturday evening.

so well before he mysteriously
disappeared from SWayze lake,
on August 2ad.
After this testimony was pro-
duced the state began its re-
buttal.
After consuming practically
the entire morning session in ar
guing over an objection of the
defense to allowing M. A. Cow
art, of Baskerville, stockman,
who claims that Bobbie Dunbar
revealed his identity to him,
whilst Walters was working in
his yard, the rebuttal was re-
sumed, when Judge Pavy sus-
tanned the defense's objection.
Miss Olympia Laas, who keeps
a boarding house. on Union
street, testified that Julia An
derson had told her, when the
North Carolina woman was here
for the Identification test last
summer, that she was warned to
claim the child as hers, whether
the little fellow was Bruce or
not, if she cared to go back to
North Carolina again. She
claims that the woman told her
the next morning that the little
fellow was Bruce Anderson.
Mr.. Dale, main attorney for
the defense took the stand after
Miss Lass and testified that it ap-
peared to him that the letter
which was found in Walters pos
session at the time of his arrest
at Hub, Miss, and addressed to
Julia Anderson had been tamper-
ed with. Mr.. Dale said that as
soon as the letter was produced
as evidence he had gone to the

newspaper reporter asked him to

it was the accused he saw in the
begging of June, 1912.
J. H. Wymnberry, of DeRid-
der, another preacher, claims to
have seen the accused at his
home during the latter part of
June, 1912. He saw the two
Walters brothers. but claims that
the accused is the one who spoke
to him about fixing his
stove. He stated that w. G.
Walters spoke to him for three
quarters of an hour and that he
is positive it is the same man
who now stands accused of kid
naping little Robbie Dunbar of
this city. He described the two
men, as being about the same
age, having similar hair and
moustache, but the brother of
the accused was the taller of the
two and VIM. G. Walters limped.
II. G. Scarborough, another
witness from DeRidder, testified
that he remembers Walters as
being the same man who spoke
to Mr.. Bennett at Longville, in
June, 1912. This witness also
stated that he had seen the ac-
cused and his brother at his
home near Forrest Hill, La. a
short while after he saw Walters
in Longville. He claims that the
name of the tinker was written
on the buggy. He could not re-
cognize the accused, neither by
his eyes nor his voice.
@. L. Mason, justice of the
peace of the town Of Merriville,
testified that he saw Walters in
May, 1912, during the famous
GraboW riot. This witness, how
ever, could not state whether
there were two men in the party.
He also saw Walters name on the
wagon.
Mrs. M. Sloane of New Roads,
claims to have seen VIM. C. Wal
tiers and another man, with a
child of about 6 or Z years of age
at New Roads in January, 1912,
at the same time that the accus-
ed was supposed to have been in
North Carolina. The men stop
ped at her house. She claims to
know Bobbie Dunbar and testi-
fed that the child whom Walters
had at that time does not resem-
BILE the Dunbar child whatever.
The witness became angry wnen
the defense attorneys put her
through a severe test Of cross
examination. However she still
persisted in saying that she was
positive about the man and the
time she saw him.
DR.. Lawrence DAILY, a practis-
ing physician of Bellevue, testi-
fed that he has had experience
with severe burns and claims
| that a burn under proper treat
ment will not cause a permanent
scar. He gave as an example
one of his patients, Sam Walker,
caused by gasoline explosion and
whose hand has very few signs
of a scar. It has been the doc
tors experience that medical at
tention would act better and
quicker on children than on
adults.
Archie Dunbar, an uncle OF
the child testified that the child
new at the home Of his brother
cannot say grace. He tried to
say grace. He tried to have
the child say grace and never
was successful.
DR.. r. NJ. Littell, testified that
there was nothing abnormal
about Bobbie Dunbar1s foot
when he was born. but he had
not examined it since the burn
and could not tell whether or moi
lit was deforlned after it was
burned.
DR.. F. G. Shute had the dis
tinction Of being the last Witnes:
