called to Stand.

Cavalier, N. D., Jan. 1O.-With
Sheriff F. z. Hamilton still on the wit
ness stand at noon today and with
several other witnesses for the state
yet to be called, it seemed improba-
BILE that the state would rest until
Come me~.TWednesday in the trial of

old Leyden girl, on the morning of
November z.
Several witnesses were called by the
state Monday, the Mother Of the girl
being called first Il complete testi-
mony. begun Saturday. She was also
submitted to a searching cross ex-
animation.
Possibly the most puzzling feature
of the testimony was her statement
and the statements Saturday of the
two sons all of whom affirmed that
five bullets were fred in the upstairs
roomEon the night of the killing. while
other testimony showed that the eff
fects of only two bullets could be
found, one bullet having killed Anna
Story and othe- other having struck
Mrs. Story in the jaw. No testimony
showed hat any bullet holes were
found in the room. When the prose-
cution attempted to: Introduce a flour
sack which was said to be pierced by
a bullet the defense objected and was
sustained in the objection.
The mother also testified to having
seen the peddler at her brothers. Tom
Clark's, about supper time the evening
before the tragedy and said that she
passed the time of day with him."
1t was stated by the mother and
the boys on Saturday that Sam Kalle
cut his throat after he had thrown
himself on the second bed in the roon
