slid over on his left side, and his head
was lying on the left side. He saw
the gun in MOrey's hand but did not
notice which finger was on the trig-
ger. The muzzle of the gun was
near his right temple. Henke ex-
pressed the opinion that Morey's
mind was unbalanced. He noticed
several times that he had acted queer
and had spells and bad headaches
quite often.
Cndersheriff Orville Jones testified
as to his presence at the house and
the position of the body and the
rifle. MOrey was neatly clad in a
new suit. His coat, hat and glasses
were at the foot of the bed.
Mrs. Mae Gibson testified that she
called at the MOrey house Tuesday
afternoon to arrange a motor party
with the Moreys. Morey came to the
door and acted strange. He said he
had been in a fight and exhibited a
cut on his neck and lip. He said his
assailants had attacked him with
clOthespins. He acted worried and
there was a wild look in his eyes.
She testified that he had previously
. acted queer and funny at times. She
partially identified two clothes pins
d handed to her by Coroner Harland
e but said she thought the ones shown
her by MOrey had more small notch
e es on the ends made by a penknife.
Morey told her he had had a fight
with George Henke and his father,
Gustave Henke, and that Cecile (Mrs.
r MOrey) was going to quit him.
II The coroner then recalled Mr.
Henke. He said he was standing II
front of his home Monday when he
st heard his daughter scream. Crossing
n the street he found his son, George
n in a scuffle with MOrey. He trieC
