Ball's story. He told how he was assisted by Chas. Sawyer. The latter rode on the same with Gallagher and Thornbug drove west on Willard, met the train at Jefferson and caught the young man on Mulberry street. Thornburg said he searched Gallagher and found a broken bladed knife in his pocket.

Thornburg identified the knife when it was shown to him by Mr. Cromer. He said that Gallagher came toward him on Mulberry when he saw him and acted like a gentleman. "At the central station" said Thornburg, "Chief Fortner: asked Gallagher about the stabbing and he said he did it in self defense." CHARLEY SAWYER The well known treasurer at the Wysor Grand opera house told his story concerning the part he took in helping to arrest Gallagher. CHIEF FORTNER Was called next and gave his testimony.

Mr. Cromer showed him the piece of knife blade which was taken from James Dugan's head and the chief identified it 88 the piece of metal which Dr. Kemper had given him after the operation was performed on Dugan. HARRY BECK Said he was employed at Ball and on Saturday night April 25th was at Norton's saloon and saw Reid, Lowe Luckner, Holser, Cory, Douglass, Edwards, Gallagher and Cunningham come in. "I only stayed about ten minutes.

I did not see Gallagher drink nor make any trouble. Joe Reid had a bottle of beer but I don't think he drank more than half of it. When I went away I heard Norton tell the boys to get out." Beck talked very loud and furnished considerable amusement for the crowd. HENBY FIDENGER Said he helped carry Reid home after he was hurt. He said he was on Madison street on the night the trouble occurred and heard shouts.

He then ran to the vicinity of Nortons saloon and found Reid. DR. HUGH COWING. "I was called to Reids bome at 1:30 on the morning of April 26th. Young Reid was groaning at times, breathing heavily and vomiting solids, liquids and scme blood.

I was shown a coat that bad a hole in it. Reid had a wound in his left side. From it protruded a piece of flesh, whic looked like a part of the coveringe of one of his lungs. In vomiting air was sucked into the 'wound which led me to believe that the lung had been penetrated. I took two stitches in the wound, -brought the edges together and dressed it.

Reids pulse was very low the next day and was very weak when Dr. Kemper and I called. In fact he never fully rallied from the shock. Dre. Trent and Mann were with us on April 28 the day he died.

He did not talk very much and seemed to be under the influence of opiates. There was a large man in the house the night was called there. He seemed to be under the influence of liquor. Reid was not intoxicated but might have had a glass of beer. The wound seemed to have been made by a sharp instrument.

The wound in his side caused his death." The doctor spoke of the wound in Dugans head and described the wound and told how he. found the knife blade in his head and brain. He identified the broken blade, also several pieces of skull from Dugans head. The prosecution had the bits of bone. A GREAT CROWD.

Was In Attendance at the Trial This Afternoon -State Will Probably Rest This Evening. A great crowd attended the trial this afternoon, more ladies than usual being present. Dr. Cowing was placed on the stand. Mr.

Gregory condueted the cross examination which WAS quite lengthy and treated on surgical matters in connection with Reids casE. -DR, B. 31 PINANS Who assisted in' making the post mortem was placed on the stand at 2:80 p. m. He found wound 14 inch long in the center of left wing of the diaphram cut between 7th and 8th rib in the left lung.

They found all parts of body in a healthful condition. His opinion of death was loss of blood. The wound in lung side and diaphram alotie would not cause death, he said. Dr. Jackson took the stand.

He assisted in the post mortem. NUC. ADO PLAN His description and condition of the body tallied almost exactly with Dr. Winans' statement. Dr.

Jackson also said Reid died from the loss of blood. At 2:48 Doctor Kemper stated that he saw Reid first on Sunday at 9 m. He found Reid. in a state of collapse and was suffering from a severe injury. The doctor stated that he directed simple stimulants for the, patient.

The doctor stated he saw him three, more times. The doctor then stated he removed the knife blade from Dugan's brain. He found an incision 1 of an inch long. The doctor stated that the injury in the brain alone would not produce death. -A peculiar coincidence was that the doctor removed the blade from Dugans brain 1 the day that Joe Reid died.

At 3:15 Dr. Poland after being sworn took the stand. NOTES OF THE TRIAL. Hon. M.
