A sensational touch was given to the | trial Thursday when witnesses for the | defense testified that Mrs, Carrie Grel- | linger of Gillette, Wyo., sister of he | slain man, had stated that ‘she would | Kill Hickey in>reprisal for the death of hér brother, She declared, witnesses ee that she would arranggy to meet Hickey alone, would shoot him down and claim that~she had fired in | self-defense. She was quoted as hav- ling said that she did not want" her brothers, Denver, Oscar and Frank Woods; to do the job, as they had suf- | ficient troubles of their own, two of them, she was alleged to have asserted, being on parole. This testimony recalled that, there re- cently have been rumors in Crook zounty, where the murder took place, that in the event of Hickey's acquit- tal it could be expected that there would be more killing, Hickey was a seli‘possessed: witness under a gruelling and prolonged cross sxamination, He clung consistently to. his claim that he had no. knowledge, otheg than from hearsay, of the man- ner in which Woods met death, and that, therefore; he could throw no light | on the tragedy. He was followed on the stand by his mother; Mrs. Margaret McKenna, his sister and one of his counsel in the case, Mrs. McKenna holding a California attorney's license; his sister-in-law, Mrs. Maud Hickey and several others, The testimony of rela- tives was directed at but did not con- clusively establish an alibi. The desire of the state to call as a witness against Hickey his 6-year-old laughter, who is said to have stated that she saw her father kill. Woods, was defeated by the ruling of the court that the child was of too tender years to be of value as a witness. It now is established that Hickey’s wife, who is ‘separated from him and suing for divorce, will not be called as a witness by the defense. It was never considered probable that she would be called to testify for the defendant, in- asmuch as placing her on the stand for that purpose might have given the prosecution an opportunity to bring aut a statement. which she is said to have made under oath to a justice f the peace in Crook county; In this Atate- ment, it is said, Mrs. Hickey admitted that sLe saw her husband shoot Woods in the stémédch, and that asthe wound. ed manstaggered away, Hickey fired a second shot, shattering his backbone and causing death, She is said to have stated further that her husband en- deavored to secure her assistance in| dragging Woods’ body to the Little Mis- souri river, into which it was cast, and/ that when she refused Hickey threat- ened to kill her if she ever mentioned} what had taken place. Mrs, Hickey in- stituted divorce proceedings soon after this alleged statement was made and had the divorce case been carried to a| décision in her favor prior to the mur- der trial she might have been used us! a witness against Hickey. The di-| vorce action, however, was heard “in part two weeks ago and then was post-| poned until after the murder trial, tlie certain that the woman ‘could not tes-! tify against her husband.
