(From Saturdays Daily
BULLETIN.

have told the story but after
little of it had been introduced the
court stopped the testimony on the
ground that it was not competent
testimony.
This afternoon the defense was
continuing the introduction of it's
case. It showed the injuries which
had been received by Lang by tes-
timony of Doctors P. p. M. JOrgen-.
sen, G. F. Adams and ]. F. Hastings
who had examined Lang and whose
testimony has been printed before.
Photographer Sydney who took the
pictures of the bruises on the back
of Lang, was also called and A. J..
Clark, father of the boy who found
the revolver, was called to identify
Just where the gun was found. 1t
was said that Police Chief 0'Hare
would be called to give some facts
in regard to the reward which had
been offered for the arrest of the
slayer of Pacini.
With little hope that the case would
20 to the jury before Monday afternoon
or Tuesday and with court officials and
attorneys pretty we'll tired out, the
trial of Frank Lang, charged with the
murder of Charles Pacini, entered on
it's sixth day this morning with the
defense hammering away on the story
Of the man with "the green cap" and
attempting to show by witnesses who
had seen this man running away from
the scene Of the crime that he was the
man who killed Charley Pacini and
that this man could not have been
Frank Lang. The defense had some
fifteen witnesses called for examina-
ton today and there was no indica-
ton that the defense could finish the
presentation Of testimony today.
Jury to Have Airing.
That the jury is firing under the
strain of the long trial was apparent
and this morning plans were being
made to give the jurors plenty of fresh
air on Sunday if they are still in sher-
iff Undersheriff Ritter announced that
he had planned to take the jurors out
for motor car ride and that he would
have a deputy sheriff in charge of each
automobile. Judge Belden declared
that he had no objection to this plan.
Lang Recalled by State.
With the opening of the morning
session the defendant was recalled by
District Attorney Fisher for further
crosse examination in regard to money
which Lang had in the house "Where
did you get that money!" was the
question put to Lang by the district
attorney. The question brought a
storm Of objections from the defense
and the jury retired while the attor-
neys argued the competency of the
evidence. The state told the court
that the question was vitality important
as it was intended by the state to show
that Lang was injured when he fell
from a window at the Cozy saloon when
he robbed the saloon on the Sunday
night before his arrest. The state told
the court that it would produce evil
dence to show by evidence that the
man was injured in this way.
Attorney Buckmaster said that the
whole aim Of the state was to show
that Lang was a burglar" The court
sustained the objection of the defense
and the witness was excused and the
jury recalled.
Steinbach Saw Screen Capper."
Henry Steinbach was called by the
defense. He was one of the men who
saw the man with the green cap on the
night Pacini was shot.
He testified that he was sitting on
the porch of his house on Maiden Lane
when he heard the shots to the north,
about 1890, He said that he had
heard shots before and after this time
but he thought there were four or five
shots fired at the time in question.
Steinbach said that shortly after he
had seen q man running south along
Maiden Lane in the street. The wit
features Of the man but that he re-
membered seeing him look back once.
The man, the witness said, hurried in
TO the driveway of the old Arneson
foundry but later he came out and ran
south to South street and turned west.
He said that Oscar Johnson had fol-
lowed the man, Steinbach said that
he did not know where Johnson was at
this time. Johnson was the man who
first reported to the police the story OF
the man with the green cap.
The witness then described the man
as "short man" and that he wore a
cap and was dressed in dark clothes,
The defendant, Lang, at that time
stood up and the court sustained an
objection on the part of the state to
the question as to whether or not Lang
was the man Steinbach had seen.
Joansen IS Missing Witness.
1t has been learned that Johnson is
the witness whose failure to appear to
testify on Friday caused no little wor-
ry to the defense. Johnson left. Keno
sha several weeks ago for Gary, Ind,
where he has been employed. He has
been subpoenaed to appear as a witness
in the case to tell what he knows Of
"the man in the green cap" AS John
son was the one of the trio on the
Maiden Lane porch who followed the
green capper," it is believed that he
will have more definite information to
give regarding his appearance.
The state is also anxious that john
son be located as they insist that they
have investigated his story and will
have some interesting revelations to
