 'liel did not receive a telephone Ii about 11:15 o'clock the night O. In murder, as he related on the Wit ess stand, which drew him from his nome. B. L. Brown, division traffic superintendent. Miss Grace Boyer, Clief operator; Miss Emma Maier, night chief operator; Miss Grace Mil Ter night information operator, and four night operators of the local tele- phone company were placed on the stand and testified that so far as they remembered no such call was made. Brown and Miss Boyer both said their testimony was the result of tnvestl- cations while the others declared they were at work the night of the murde. and one of them should have received such a call.
 It was explained by each of the witnesses that many calls after II o'clock at night are diverted to the information operator so that wrong calls will not awaken patrons. The defense. in an apparent effort to break down the declarations of the witnesses brought out that no written records of cul1s 4para and hat tha, statements were based on memory"

 "I did not" she answered.
 The testimony of Mir Mcdaniel was that he returned home about II ?. m. after having gone 10 a lodge meeting nnd investigated two alleged road houses. He awakened his wife. he said. but about 11:l5 o'clock received telephone call asking him 10 go to a certain saloon to get his brother. He left immediately and discovered that the call was a fake. according to tho testimony, and returned near midnight 60 eneage in a revolver duel ana to ind that his wife had been attacked and beaten.
 Miss Boyer testified under cross examination that a call had come to the telenhone office about 10: 31 o'clock that nigh. asking the nasles and numbers of saloons in a certain district. The saloon from which Mo Daniel said the fake call purported tc have come was in that district. at t-rneys pointed out. Miss Boyer said sha did not know where the call had originated.
 During the day the state sought to break down the testimony of the de- fonse that Mrs. Della Leslie, a neigh hor of Mcdaniel. had screamed while in a swing before II o'clock on the ght of the murder. Five neighbor, cf Mrs. Leslie said they remembered r0 screams at the time described Tn, cross examination brought out tha none of the five had heard any scream or cat cries that night although twt said they were close neighbors O N0Daniel
