fed photographs Of the interior of the

and pointed out to the jury places about
the room where bullets had struck. He
also said that one of the bullets had
passed through the mattress of the bed
on the side on which Mrs. Naylor had
been lying.
Lieut. c. L. Plemmons Of the eleventh
precinct was the next witness. He told
of going to the scene Of the shooting
early Friday morning, but said that Mrs.
Naylor and Poland had been taken to
the hospital when he arrived at the house
William Wilkins and his wife. Mrs. May
Wilkins, were the principal witnesses
bed in another part Of the house when
they heard shots fired. They jumped out
of bed and the husband ran into the room
in which the shooting took place, they
testified. The wife followed.
Mrs. Wilkins said that almost immedi-
ately following the shooting she heard
Mrs. Naylor cry in faint voice, May
May, he shot me"' The two wit
nesses testified to having gone into the
room and also of the husband carrying
Mrs Naylor from that room into another
room.
Mrs. Wilkins said Poland asked for a
drink of water. but that she said: No.
Why did you shoot herr" She said that

Poland Still at Hospital.
Poland was unable to attend the in
quest, although physicians at the hos
pital said he probably will be able to
leave there next week.
The wounded man still denies that he
fired the four shots in the room in

turned from the excursion with Mrs
Naylor, and that he was still awake
when the shots were fired. but by
whom, he says, he does not know.

ceived. The bullet that passed through

himself through the body.

Mr.. and Mrs. wilkins claim that an
outsider could not possibly have done the
shooting, the police say. declaring the

ing the shooting.
Had a person from the outside fol-
lowed the couple or been secreted in
