Three Roberts Brothers
Are on Trial for the
Murder of Mrs. Wyrnan.
CONTINUED from PaGe One,

It required from to the stroke of
IL o'clock, noon, to select the jury,
and few Milton men are in the twelve
who win pass on the guilt or the in
nocence of the accused. The panel
was completed at Has o'clock and
Mr.. Stokes announced that the state
would tender the same. Mr.. Clark
held . consultation with the defen-
dants and with relatives of the latter
who are here, and at noon announced
that the defense accepted said panel.
Thus one of the most important steps
in the trial was thus ended.
The state swore twenty-one wit
nesses, and several whose names were
called did not respond. 1t was an
nounced, however, that they were
served too late to reach here, and it
is possible they will come during the
day. The defense introduced no wit
nesses. When the state had its wit
nesses sworn, Mr.. Clark, in reply to a
query from the court, announced that
he would introduce no witnesses at
this time.

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.

With the converting of the after
noon session, Chas. Cottrell of PEN
sacola, was sworn for the state. Mr..
Stokes brought into court two guns,
said to have been used in the double
murder. Empty shells and several
other articles used as evidence were
also brought in, and were in custody
of. the prosecutor. Upon the jury be-
ing polled, the states case was pre-
scented by Mr.. Stokes, in his usual
able manner. He asked for a verdict
of guilty as charged or nothing, indi-
eating that murder in the first degree
is being sought by the state of Flor
ida.
i DR.. L. G. Phillips of Pensacola, was
called by the state, the first witness.
DR.. Phillips was the physician who
made trip to Harris after the muir
der had been reported in Pensacola
the day after they had been killed.
He said he had been called to the Wy
man home, and testified as to the
manner in which he found the body
of Mrs. Wyman lying on a bed, a
gunshot wound in her head, on the
right side, the charge from a shotgun
having torn almost through the head.
The hole in her head, witness said,
was almost as large as the palm of
the hand, and when the body was
taken from the bed for purpose of
enbalming, the face caved in, witness
also testified to the horrible condi-
ton Of the body of the other aged
victim, Peter Wyman. Witness pro-
duced shot taken from ear of latter,
and according to opinion of witness,
both had been dead from 4S to so
hours, the bodies, found in different
rooms, being in a bad condition of
decomposition. Witness also identified
gruesome objects presented by the
state attorney, among them shot as
above referred to, as well as several
pieces of human skull, reputed to
having been portions Of the old Iady's

ASK A CONTINUANCE.

The defense asked for a contin-
uance this morning, but the motion
to this effect was overruled by Judge
Campbell. Then another motion fol-
lowed, requesting that the cases be
transferred to Walton county, alleg-
ing that a fair trial was not possible
in Santa Rosa county, because of the
publicity which had been given the
murder. Judge Campbell, in overrul-
ing this motion, said he did not think
the court was abusing its discretion
in the premises by doing SO, because
Walton county was about as near to
the scene of the crime as was Santa
Rosa. He overruled the motion. In
opposing the motion, Mr.. Stokes said
that the counsel for defense had told
him he thought there was never any
necessity for removing the prisoners
from Milton, and that appears to be
the general impression here. There
has been heard nothing that would
indicate there was any real bad feel
ing against the defendants. OF course
it was possibly safer to have them
in Pensacola, but there was nothing
heard today in Milton to indicate that
the men were ever in any danger of
trouble. Certainly there was nothing
to indicate anything like mob trouble.
The crowd gathered this morning, it
was stated, was possibly a little
larger than seen at terms of the cir
cult court, but citizens say this was
on account of the hundred veniremen
who were summoned from the body of
the county of Santa Rosa.

AN AFFECTING SCENE.

When court was adjourned for a
few minutes this morning quite an
affecting scene occurred when two lit
tie girls, relatives of one of the de-
PENDANTS, were allowed 70 go to him.
Roberts held one of them in his lap,
while the other busted herself with
the other brothers in trouble. It was
noted that this presence of the chill
dren affected the defendants very
much.
When court was first called to
order, female relatives Of the boys
in trouble who were in the courtroom
awaiting them, quickly arose and
threw their arms about the necks of

duced, were offered in evidence and

Upon cross-examination witness
said he found single wounds on each
of the victims, and over the head of
the woman he found in the wall a
charge thought to have been from a
shot gun, the charge being but few
inches above the aged ladys head.
He said he did not count how many
shots had entered the wall, but knew
there had been quite a number of
shots SCARED on the wall.
On redirect examination, DR.. Phil
lips said there had been found hole
torn through the screen window
where the old man was found. There
were found no powder marks on the
body, but evidence Of burns around
the wound were found. The woman's
gown was also said to have been

away. He located the wharf on photo
shown him. The three Roberts boys
went to the house, Percy carried a
long gun, and Jim had a short gun.
HEARD THREE SHOTS.
They remained on wharf and heard
three shots fired, about an hour after
others had left. Brady Roberts went
toward the house while the witness
sat on wharf. They all came back
bringing the guns, and John Bar
baree, Jim and Percy Roberts handed
him dollar each. All got in Wy
mans skiff, went to Roberts boat and
turned the Wyman boat adrift. All
were barefooted except Barbaree, and
from the Wyman wharf they went 20
Oglesby's rosin wharf, about a mile
away. After that Jim Roberts, John
Barbaree and witness went to the
latter's home, where Barbaree stayed
all night. Others stayed all night at
the old mill Office. Witness said the
shots were heard about IL o'clock at
night.
Witness said he could not remem-
Der the date of his arrest, but it fol-
lowed day of inquest. After arrest,
witness said, he had a conversation
with several, but could recall nothing
of what they had talked. He said
the killing was done on a Tuesday
night in June.
On cross-examination witness was
asked about several statements, and
was questioned whether 'or not any
Of them had agreed. The mind of
witness it appeared was blank on
matters on which he was questioned,
except that he remembered the de-
tense lawyer who was examining him,
asking him if he (witness) wanted
him to work for him. Witness denied
he had made certain statements asked
about, and very soon appeared to be
twisted so that contradictory asser-
tons were made. He was subjected
to most rigid cross-examination by
Mr.. Clark, who seemed to have no
difficulty in getting witness badly
mixed up. The direct testimony was
reviewed at great length.
AFRAID OF ASSOCIATES.
Witness admitted he had liveS a
long time and had associated with the
Roberts boys, but,was afraid of them,
and was afraid they would have fol
lowed him up and killed him as they
had threatened because he had not
accompanied them to the Wynan
home. Asked why he had not re-
ported the matter to the sheriff, wit
ness said he was "skeered ter do it."
He said he had been promised nothing
to make the statement as accredited
him. He was asked about two I'M
mentioned names, and if it was not a
fact that he had not given the names
of two parties who went with him to
the home of the Wymans. Witness
denied that anything of the sort was
true.
Witness was let off with a very
short re-direct-examination.
Judge Campbell asked the witness
a number of questions regarding the
time intervening between shots, what

ELDER MITCHELL TEsTIFIEs.

Elder Mitchell, also indicted for
murder with the others, testified that
he was about 20 years of age but did
not know exactly how old he was. He
knew where the Wyman home was,
and recalled the night of the murder.
He said he knew each of the Roberts
boys. Before the night, and before
the killing, witness said, he had a
talk with John Barbaree, and also
with Brady Roberts, who, witness
said, had asked him if Barbaree ever
said anything about "going up there
and take what the old folks had.
The witness said he refused to go
and Barbaree and Brady Roberts said
they would kill him unless he went,
Witness said he tried not to go and
the Roberts boys and Barbaree told
him unless he did go they would kill
him.

witness said, Jim Roberts came to
him and they had a talk about going
up to Wyman's house and taking
