William H. Bruner, whose death last
October was caused by revolver
shot through the stomach, inflicted by
Charles Hudson, was not admitted in

dence County Attorney Ross McCor-
mick learned by chance that Bruner

attorney was given until this morn
ing to cite authorities for its admis-
sion. After the argument of the
point, Judge Sargent ruled out the
evidence.

Mans Dying Statement.

Mans Dying Statement.
Mrs. Bruner's affidavit of the dying
mans statement was read into the
court record but not in the presence
of the jury. Mrs. Bruner said her
husband told her he was going to die
and that he wanted her to know he
did not seek quarrel with Hudson.
He was shot while trying to prevent
Hudson from drawing a gun, Mrs.
Bruner declared the dying man told
her.
Judge Sargent said his reason for
ruling out the evidence was that Mrs.
Bruner lives in Oklahoma and that
the defense would be given no oppor-
tunity to investigate her credibility
as witness.
