ness. He said that he had worked for Haines for about three days, not more than four days, prior ito the event, though he had been employed on and off for a number of years.
 He was with Eaines Saturday when IIaines came to the saloon on the corner of Wall and Middle streets.
 Haines was not able to sell some corn he had and Rattigan sold it for him. When Rattig7an returned Haines was not there but $2 was giv- en him for his services.
 Rattigan next saw Haines on Mon day at Peck 6. Lines livery stable at s 50 in the morning-he was sober and was sent for some dog biscuit.
 They got into the carriage and start ed for. home, stopping at EchleTs sa- loon and also at one in TrumbuI Haincs had three drinks. Haines was sober when they go thome. Mrs. Haines and Willie were there. On the way out Rattigan asserted that Haines had talked about crops and what he was going to do with them. They arrived at home about 1o:30.
 Haines spoke about the trial sched- uled for that day and in onversatiOn with his wife about it, said:
 f'Yo have made a murderer out Of me with the handcuffs on-'
 He told her that she could not have a horse with which to drive to the court and offered her $15 a, week sup port if she would leave him.
 Rattigan was sent to the fields to bring Jason back that he might pre- pare for school. They sat down to have some breakfast and later Will liam and Rattigan went across the roadway to pick apples They had been in the orchard possibly 20 min utes when Rattigan heard one shot. He did not pay much attention to it In often hunting and the shots of hunters were frequent and familiar sounds to Rat tigan. He heard no screams.
 As he came up to the house he saw Haines with the gun over his right shoulder. Rattigan hid behind @ tree.
 Come here, Jin,'' called Haines and with trembling and fear Rattigan ap- preached him. They went into the carriage house and Haines is quoted ssaying: ''If MT. Berger Cthe deputy sheriff who had arrested hi1n) comes here I will shoot his head off as soon as he puts his foot in the yard.''
 Also, "I have done, the deed, Jim. and will ge the rope.'' On cross examination witness declared he said ''the rope'' rather than 'tI will hang for it,'' as entered in the coroner'S records of the inquest. Haines then set the gun on a bed and said, Come on, Jin.' Together they walked to the potato patch when Haines said, Get me a. jitney, Jim" Rattigan left to get one and found a, jitney shortly afterwards He declares that Haines wanted it to go to the police station and give himself up. Rattigan testi- fed that he wanted to go to the police station and notify the authorities, which 1le did.
 Rattigan was subjected to a gril1ing cross ex animation which resulted in spirited words between States Attor- ney Homer Cummings and Attorney Klein for the defense. At one time during the questioning States Attor- ney Cummings objected and the con- test was laid before the court for de- cision. The court after closely consid- ering the question sustained the de- fense in part of it's contention, quail flying the interpretation.
 Attorney Klein demanded an apol- oev for remarks made by the states which was refused when the court stopped the discussion as being irrelevant at the trial.
 The memory of the witness became the subject of examination by the de- fense and it was admitted by the wit ness that his memory had been poor since an illness several years ago.
 It appeared from testimony offered yesterday that pr. F. J. Adams of this city had called at inc home just prior to the affair and he is likely to be called as a. witness later in the case.
 The session ended with Rattigan still on the witness stand, awaiting re- direct questioning by the state.
