Gilmore immediately made sure that it was not loaded, but Deputy U. s. Marshals who were guarding the prisoner and the court took no chances and were especially alert while the gun was in his hands. Deputy Marshal Max Rogers, who was charged with the personal guarding ol LaMoore, was prepared in case of trouble
 LaMoore claimed that Nelson had never had that gun. He also stated once more that they had gene to Pineda's but not to the Ellen Store
 Everyone Lying
 On cross examination by Gil- more, LaMoore said that Rodney Hunter had not been telling the truth on his claim to have seen the pair at the store.
 He admitted making the state ment to Hellan, and. when asked if it was voluntary, he replied : Tn way, yes" but that the state ment was untrue" and that was a lie" LaMoore declared: T meant to help that boy save his life, if possible. That man was framed and you know it." he told Gil- more. LaMoore claimed that Nell son would have hung if he hadn't made his statement.
 Gilmore asked: Weren't you talk Ing cnance? ana ne replleu . You take chance walking across the street"
 At this point, as he was re- quired to do several times, Judge Folta instructed LaMoore answer the questions you don't ask them"
 Statement Changed
 LaMoore claimed that his state ment had been changed since it was first taken and that there was no reference to Dolly Silvers con- tained in it although the statement was read to him paragraph by paragraph when he signed it. He

LaAfoore said that his overcoat was taken by mistake from a hook in the Imperial Pool Hall during November and that he had not seen it since. He also described what happened when Hellan and Deputy U. S. Marshal Sid Thomp- son went to his home on Sunday evening after Ellen's murder.

This was the duel that was side
tracked, and it was then admitted
by both that no duel should take
place. After several attempts at
reconciliation through councillors,
the sudden action of Swan came as
a shock to all. Sprigg was unarmed
when Swan walked into the hotel
and with his double barrelled gun,
shot him dead in the bar room.
The populace was instantly arous-
ed, and an angry crowd threatened
to punish Swan Immediately. The
authorities, with great effort, placed
him in Jail, where he safely awaited
trial. The old paper gives this de-
scription of the murderer:
"The terrible act upon the part of
Swan, seems to have been deliberate
and premeditated. He went direct
ly to the hotel with his loaded gun,
and without giving a moments
warning, fired. 1t is also stated that
after the murder, when under arrest,
he declared that it was his deliber-
ate intention to kill the deceased,
and seemed to exult in the fact, as
he patted his gun and seemingly APP
plauded it for being so faithful to
its trust"
