afraid Of him.
81 didn't intend to shoot" continued
the witness, "but l did intend to fire
at his feet. The shot fired was abb
solutely accidental; 1 had aimed too
high"
Significant Question
On cross-examination Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Collins asked:
"You had in mind that you would
shoot Randall before you would al
low him to take the b~oards?"
~ did not think Randall would be
foolish enough to try to take the
boards with a loaded gun pointed at
him." was Scollard's reply.
Mrs. Kate M. Scotland, wife of the
defendant, related her version of
events preceding the shooting, and
declared that Randall, upon arriving
at the ranehEand hefore her husband
came home, had made disparaging
remarks and used vile and indecent
language to her. In cross-examina-
ton it was brought out that Mrs.
Scotland had written Randall several
letters in which demand was made
for settlement Of certain claims that
had been pending for a year.
Austin's Version l:
Frank Austin, Scollard's hired man
who was the only person besides thc
principals who was near the granary
when the shooting occurred, was
called to the stand and testified along
; the same lines he did at the inques.
last April. He told Of the coming O.
! Randall; Of the argument that en-
: sued when Scotland came home; o
the latter's trip to the house for tn,

5 airy. Scotland, he said, appeared, t

n cool and seemed TO pay little attentio
to him.

e granary, Austin testified, Randall

don't make me do nothin'." Randall,
according To Austin, replied: So
- you I'll @.r The report Of
the gun followed.
Austin went to the granary and
found Randall leaning against the
door. "WiIl you drive my team home,
buddy?" the wounded man asked him.
ITO hell with the team" inter-
rupted Scotland; "the main thing is
to get you to a doctor"
The remainder Of Austin's testi-
mony added nothing to the evidence
already presented. Austin had been
~subpoenaed by both prosecution and
defense.
Six Character Witnesses
In closing its case the defense
called six character witnesses-R. E.
Brown, Charles V~andenhook, ". N.
Purdy, Martin Jacoby, E. A. Steifel
and J. c. McCarthy-all of whom de-
clared that prior to the shooting
Scollard's reputation as a peaceful
and law-abiding citizen "had been
good" Other witnesses were N. (.
Ferris, who testified regarding the
ownership Of the ranch which Scol-
lard and his wife had taken, and Roy
Harrison, who told of meeting Ran
dali on the day Of the shooting as
Randall was en- route to the Scollard
place.
On Saturday court did not convene
until after noon, the morning being
taken up with the preparation Of in
structions TO the jury. Assistant At
torney General Collins made the op-
ening argument for the state, being
followed by Attorney Pease for the
defense. The closing arguments fol
