Erasmus Nelson testified that he
with his son and his son-in-law, Wal
ter L. Haugh, had crossed First ave
nue. and We're walking south when

and rushing to the scene. He said he
took the gun from Gray and later
turned it over to Sheriff Montgomery.
He identified the gun as the one Gray
had used.
W. w. Siegler said he passed Gray
standing by the post a few minutes
before the shooting and was on the
corner when he heard the shots. He
said he turned to see James Nelson
sinking to the walk and saw Gray with
a smoking pistol In his hands. waiter
L. Haugh, brother -in-law of James
Nelson. said he did not see Gray
until he stepped out and fired the
shots. James Nelson, he said, was
next TO the building, the elder Nelson
in the middle, and he was on the OUT
side. They were going to the county
attorneys office, he said. After firing
the shots, Haugh said, Gray ordered
them to stand back.
DR. w. o. Sweek told of operating on
James Nelson at st. Josephs hospi-
tai One of the shots, he said, entered
the upper part of the left arm and
passed through the bone. The other
shot, he said, entered the left side Of
the abdomen and passed entirely
through the body, coming out on the
right side. This wound, he said. was a
mortal one and James Nelson was
dying when he was brought to the
hospital. He died three hours later.
Deputy Sheriff. C. P. Anderson said
he was driving south along First ave-
nue. and when directly in front of the
store, he saw Gray standing in front
of the cement column pointing some
thing at two men. He said he heard
two shots and saw James Nelson sink
to the walk. Deputy Anderson said he
stopped his car and ran to the scene.
Barnes came up. he said. and took the
gun and Gray then went to the sher-
! ifs office with him.
The case will be continued this NOR
ming at $50 O'Clock.
