doors and taken the keys. Miller on
the stand said that he went to the
garage at the request Of Pacini and
got the keys and that at the same
time he picked up the stiletto on the
ground in front of the garage.
Said Lang Wanted Protection.
Owen Hanaway was the next witness
called by the state and his most in
teresting testimony was his statement
that Lang wanted to be properly pro-
tected when he was taken to court for
the preliminary bearing and plea.
Hanaway testified that Lang had told
him that he feared violence on the
part of the crowd, but Runaway had
assured him that the police would take
full care Of him.
Runaway had much to say of what
happened when Lang made his confess
sion and he repeatedly declared on the
direct and cross examination that no
one laid a hand on Lang during the
night. He said that William Biene-
mann was not at the Office when Lang
confessed to the murder of Pacini and
that the former officer had not been in
the police office more than five minutes
on the night Of che confession. He
was very careful in his statements in
regard to Bienemann being in the room
just before the confession was secured.
Admitted Using Come-a-Longs.
Runaway admitted that he had used
the come -a-longs to bring Lang from
the cell-room to the Office of the chief
of police, but he declared that they
were used but once during the night
and that hey were removed from the
wrists of Lang just as soon as he had
seated himself in the police Office.
Runaway testified that he had been
the jailer in charge Of Lang while he
was held pending an appearance in
court and he said that at none of the
time did the prisoner complain to
him that he had been beaten by any
one. He admitted that OF the Monday
night after Lang returned from Chicago
he had placed some iodine on his right
arm, but said that he did this at the
request Of the prisoner who said that
his arm was sore.
His story of the signing of the con-
fession was identical with that of the
other officers. He declared that the
statement was made to Wattles and
that it was read to Lang and that
the chief of police said, "Just tell
the truth" to Lang before the con-
fession was signed.
Cyzak Is Recalled.
The assistant chief of police was
then recalled to the stand to clear up
little Misunderstanding in the minds
of the attorneys for the defense.
"Do you remember the time you
stood in front of the Western Union
and told Mr.. Marlatt that Lang had
been tapped couple Of times 2" asked
Attorney Buckmaster. 81 do not" re-
piled the assistant chief, and was
thereby dismissed.
Amberlang was then asked to take
the stand by the state. District At
torney Fisher then asked Amberlang if
he had been patrolman on Main
street on August 14th, the night Of the
Pacini shooting, and the reply was in
the affirmative. "Did you see Mr..
Clark on Main street that night 2"
queried the attorney for the state and
the answer was that Amberlang had
seen him at 1850 at the Majestic thea
ire on Main street on that night. she

reply was that he was not threatened.
"Did you ever see Lang before that
night mean September 9th ?" con-
tinued the attorney, and Amberlang
said he had seen Lang about week
previous at about three or four o'clock
in the morning. "That is ALL" said the
attorney, and Amberlang left the stand.
Doctors Called by State.
DR.. G. H. Gephart practicing physi-
clan, was then called in rebuttal to the
defense and stated that it required a
period of two days at least for ecom-
osis to reach its maximum color and
from that period on the ecomosis would
gradually disappear. DIR. George E.
Thompson, who had examined Lang on
September 30th between one and two
o'clock, stated that % hours was the
period which, in his estimation, would
be the minimum time for ecomosis to
show upon the body of an injured per-
son. He qualified that statement by
saying that the length of time was due
to the physical condition of the pa
tient at the time the cause of ecomosis
was administered. DR.. Hanley was
then to be called, but on account of an
operating case at st. GATHERINGS hos
pital he couldn't be in court and his
testimony was allowed to be continued
until this morning.
