TOTH rage OHeJ
when your car pulled next to the
Barrett car?
A-Mr. Klein was sitting on the
seat next to me.
O-Do you know why Mr. Barrett
ran?
Al suppose he wanted to get
away.
Judge Baltzell admonished the de-
Tense attorney to stop repeating in
cross examination.
Perhaps 30 Minutes"
Didn't you say to Barrett,
when you came up to him wounded
on the ground then, DO you know
what you've done? You've killed a
government man and we weren't
going to hurt you We only wanted
TO talk to you!' Didn't you say
that?
A No. I had very little to say
to him at that time.
Q-HoW long was it before
physician attended Mr.. Barrett's
wounds?
A-Not very long.
Dwell, would you say three
hours?
A-No. I would say not longer
than an hour, and perhaps only 30
minutes.
Several of Jury Yawn
Several members of the jury
yaWned as the cross examination of
the witness proceeded, and there
was a restlessness among the spec
| tatOrs.
Once when Rice looked at his
notes for some time Judge Baltzell
asked rather sharply,
Are there more queStionS?"
Rice said there were.
Eventually, cross examination was
ended and Nolan began redirect ex-
animation
He brought out that Agent Nc
Govern used every effort to get
medical attention for Barrett the
night of the shooting.
He also had the agent demon
strate how revolver can be shot
rapidly as an automatic by a trick
manipulation of the instrument.
Q-Had Mr. Barrett not come to
his parked car would you and Mr..
Klein have undertaken to arrest
him?
Ave would not.
Wins Minor Skrmish
Rice won a minor SkirmiSh when
the judge ruled Agent McGovern
could not tell the jury how he
knew Barrett was dangerous man.
Ora Brown, resident of College
Corner, o., who is said to have
taken photos at the scene of the
shooting was to follow McGovern
on the stand.
McGovern was stopped in his mar
rative by Federal Judge Robert c.
Baltzell at 4:25 yesterday when the
wheel chaired defendant, who had
sat most of the afternoon staring
at his palsied, carpet-slippered feet,
said, through his attorney, that he
was tired.
Taps Attorney Petulantly
A moment before he had tapped
petulantly on the shoulder of his
counsel and said:
Its the same thing all over and
over again"
Otherwise Barrett, who is so and
who, his attorney says, has evaded
death in the feuds of Kentucky, has
shown little or no emotion during
the trial-hiS third on charges of
murder.
During one intermission Mrs.
! Sylvanus Woods, of suburban Gin
cinnati, a defense witness and sis
| ter of the defendant, came to
his wheeled chair and squeezed his
hand while she whispered to him.
His eyes dripped tears.
G-Men Guard Barrett
Two government agents are guard
ing the defendant as they have
been. day and night since he was
placed in City Hospital after the
shooting. Both knees were injured
by Federal bullets.
Mrs. Klein, red-haired and dressed
in black, was the first witness. She
testified to the family history of
herself and her husband, and to his
death and funeral.
DR.. w. L. Porter who was coroner
of Union County at the time of the
killing, established corpus delecti,
and Dr. Douglas B. RemSen, Christ
Hospital (CincinnatD pathologist,
described the wounds made by five
bullets from a As caliber revolver.
Two, he said, went entirely
through the neck; one went through
the shoulder, two went into the alb
dOmen. All. he said. entered the
right side of the body and took
