HERMANN GILLIS TO PLEAD
LOYALTY and SELF-DEFENSE
of States Witnesses Indicates That Man
ject Patriotism Part of Defense for KILLING Of Miner

s-eNamination of state wit
nesses in the trial OF Hermann
Gillis,. charged with the murder Of
John Carroll, miner, on the night
of Sept. II. 1918, indicates that the
attorneys for the defense will seek
to convince the jury that the de-
fendant. who claimed and was
granted exemption from military
service, was actuated by loyalty in
the killing of Carroll. Self-defense
will also be pleaded, it the questions
asked by Attorneys T. J. and Frank
Walker are a true guide. Both
lawyers, when they took a witness.
would seek to draw out OF him an
admission that Carroll and his three
companions hau made complimentary
references to the kaiser and treason
able statements in the hearing Of
young Gillis before the latter ac-
costed the men. Both also tried to
get the witness to say that Carroll
and the men with him threatened
Gillis and attempted to strike him
and kick him when he was down.
Absolutely no success has so far
attended the efforts Of the defense
to elicit such testimony. John Mof-
fat and James Duffy, who were with
Carroll that night. both testified
this morning that they and Tom
Feeley and John Carroll We're walk
ing, east on Granite street shortly
before / o'clock in the morning, one
of the men carrying a suitcase. They
both stated that the men were silent
and proceeding quietly on their way
to the room of one of them, when
Gillis approached them from the op-
posite side of the street and asked
what they had in the suitcase. The
men were on the north side of the
street near the Napton block when
Gillis approached, apparently direct
ly from the entrance TO the Hen
nessey block. One of the men,
neither witness was sure which one,
replied to Gillis, ut is none of your
business. .
John Moffat testified that Gillis
then stepped up to the sidewalk and
struck Tom Feeley, one Of the four,
knocking him down Moffat said
that Gillis then backed away out
into the street, holding his hand to
his hip, and invited any of you pro-
Germans and Irish Sim Feiners who
want to fight to come out in the
street" Nobody responded to this
invitation, said Moffat, and Gillis
then approached the curb again
and struck Carroll Carroll re-
taliated and there was some sort of
a scuffle between the two during
which they worked out into the
street. The men took no part in
this scrap between Carroll and Gilis.
Moffat, said Duffy, went to get a
policemen, saying that he knew Gill
lis had a gun, while Duffy and Feeley
remained near by on the sidewalk.
Duffy saw the position of the two
men fighting in the street immedi-
ately before he heard the shot, but
was looking up the alley at the time
the gun went off. He couldn't say
whether or not Gillis was on the
ground ut the time of the shot. He
said that Gillis might have been
drunk, but he did not think he was.
James Duffy, when called to the
stand, corroborated Moffat in almost
all particulars. He said that no re-

themselves as greatly worried over
the situation and admitted they

breaking up Of the conference. In
that event, according to pronounce

appointed with Gary's statements.
