the attention Of the court to the affi-
Beard deposed thai he had seen Steph-
ems near the l.. & 5. theatre shortly
before the shooting, which tended to
support the testimony of the convicted
man, in which he stated that after leav-
ing the Central Pool Hall earlier in
the evening he had gone home,
town by way of Fourth street.
In his testimony he stated further
that after reaching the Davis block on
the corner of Fourth and Main streets
he crossed diagonally to the Davis
drug store ON the northwest corner,
traVersed Main street on the north side
TO the l.. & S. theatre, where he paused
a moment to scan the billboards, and
then continued on and across the street
after he discovered that he had no
money.
Boards affidavit, Attorney Wilson
stated, set forth that Beard had seen
stephens walk past him as he stood
in front of a cigar store near the the
atre and that, feeling sleepy a few mo-
ments later, he walked into a pool
room and consulted a clock, establish
ing the time within a few minutes
when he had seen Stevens.
Counter affidavits containing depo-
sitions by Deputy Sheriffs Kemp and
Cummings, City Marshal McFadden and
Court Interpreter A. j. Snee, were in
troduced by Deputy District Attorney
e. r. Simon, for the prosecution, which
Attorney Wilson said attacked the
character of Beard. He followed this
statement with the motion that they
be stricken from the records. He char
acterized the affidavit of Snee as ir-
relevant and immaterial.
Tending to support the testimony of
Mrs. short who passed Fox and his
prisoner a few minutes before the
shots were fired was the affidavit of
w. L. Mckinney, an employe of the
street department, who was driving n
sprinkling wagon north on Fourth
street.
A short time after the shots rang out
McKinney's attention was directed to
a man walking south on Fourth street
between Holt and He'll avenues, in un-
usual haste. Attorney Wilson, in his
arg umenlS LOT Il new TRIAL. Slultu lndt
McKinney's description of the man CO.
lincided with that of Mrs. Short as to
the mans height and the light hat
which he wore.
Observing that he was attracting un-
due attention, the man lodged quickly
across the street. Attorney Wilson
said, remained screened in the shad-
ows for moment and then started up
Ia side street.
Attorney Wilson advanced the the
ory that the man who had made the
attack upon Fox had come from some
camp established in the vicinity of the
railroad and. Immediately after the
shots were fired, lodged through the
yard Of the house on the southeast cor
Iner of sixth and Olive streets, and then
hurried down Fourth street to get
/ back to his friends.

this same Mr.. Leavitt, written ten
years ago, applying for job on The

like the climate OF Cuba and wanted
to come to Colorado. When I met
him in Cuba he had become accli-

ed visit in Wisconsin TO her fathers
ranch near Micanite. fatal destiny

prise. hearty congratulations are in
order and many years OF unbroken
happiness is predicted over the house
