gave them to Dickerson.
'As a matter of fact" continued Mr..
Gray, 'you don't know whether these

"DickcrSon said So.
AT the request of Mr.. Gray this an
Swcr was struck from the records.
Mr.. Gray continued: "Iou say two
bullets were fired from the gun. cx-
tractcd from the cloth and given to
Dickerson January II, and returned
January 17?' "Ics."
"lIow long did you keep them.
thcnf' II have kept them ever since"
1.-TWO bullets only fired?' THAT was
ALL.
Harry VI. Dickcrson. district attor-
ncCy's detective. then waH called. He
was questioned about receiving the bull
lct3 and asked how long ne had re-
tanned them. He replied as Major

"Whcrc did you keep thcm:" ashCd
MI. Gray. II kept them N this en-
vrlopc in my pocket all the time. At

worth. them" "Ics. we went to the
Colts Arms factory Friday night, left
there Saturday evening for New York
and returned that night to Ph;ladcl-

That's ALL concluded Mr.. Gray.
As Detective DickerSon was leaving
the stand he volunteered. This cnvc-

ScSSlOn all tnc llInc.
Il knew that, but you wanted to tell
it,, said Mr.. Gray. That's ALL
Fatal Lead Pellet Shown
DR.. Wadsworth then was called. He
produced the bullet found in the brain
of Drcwcs and identified the gun. lie
was asked by Mr.. Gordon to tell under
what circumstances he first had seen
the automatic pistol lie said it was
brought to his Office by Patrolman kikcr
and Major Wynre. lie said he had
found six bullets in the magazine, one
of which was used for experimentation.
Did you examine the gun and the
barrrl?" asked Mr.. Gordon.
YES"
did you examine the bullet in the
head of the dead man. Yes
Have YOU made study of firearms
ccptcd in courts aS witness who had
made special studies of firearms and bul
| lets. have made these studies over the
last fifteen years and have been known
aS an expert.
From an examination can you draw
! conclusion as between the bullet in the
head and the gum" "lcs.'
"What is the conclusion and explain
! your reasons for reaching it.
Mr.. Gray at once objected. He said
no evidence yet had been produced tc
show that the gun had belonged to the
defendant.
Unless this is done ! object to con
illusions drawn rs between the gun ant
the bullet in the head of the dead man,
he said.
Judge a crguSon sustained this objcc-
ton, to the temporary embarrassment
Of the commonwealth.
Mr., Gordon argued that they haI
found an automobile which was identi'
fled ns tn" property of the defendant
that there were hloodStains on the auto
mobilc,~and the guns was found in tho
automobile.
MIR. GordOn." Judge Ferguson in,
tcrpasrd, "you find the gun four day
after the man is dead, and in an auto
mobile in the open street, Why nj
this evidence hrcauSc you hav" estab'
lshcd the connection between the gul
and the pris"mcr!'
DIR, Wudswurth therefore left til,
stand temporarily. Mr.. GOrdan ther
called Carlos ArnoIdson. n student a
the University of Pennsylvania, in a.
effort to establish the ownership OF, the
pistol.
States Case Nearly Over
Judge Ferguson took the opportunity
to ask Mr. Gordon if the commonwealth
would rest its ease today. lie rcplicC
that he would have to consult his cot
leagues first. but rather thought hc
might finish today.
"Youll tinish--bcforr I p. m.," in,
trricctcd Mr.. Gray in his best Surcasti,
tones.

The prisoner, through the lengthy
testimony of III" morning session, hat

ArnoldSon was questioned abou
lirinrs' purchase of II pistol, lie SAT-
that he had gou" with him to pawn

while lIrinrS bought II gun,
"RriurS did the buying, he said
'Thr first time he got Harrington
