He said Fox had him to ofl the knife up and examine the open- ing springs before he would close the sale. The knife was seven inches Jong, the witness sald. It looked like a dirk. The opened-blade knife was taken from Fox when he was arrested, a few minutes after he shot Coburn. The weapon was said to have been in hig hand when taken into custody. The defense, on cross-examining the witness, secured the statement that Fox told him he had been look- ing for a knife like that for some time. Fox came into court shortly before 9 o'clock, accompanfed by Mrs. Fox. His face was haggard and the same nervous twitching he displayed yes- terday was in_evidence about mouth. His right foot commenced a steady tattoo on the floor as he took his seat. - Sits With Face to Jury. Fox sat with his back to the jury yesterday but this morning the ar- rangement was changed so that he and his wife faced the jurors. Fox sat next to his wife, with Attorney Aldine Chambers of 'defense counsel at_his right. When Judge G. H. Howard, presid- ing, entered the chamber Fox falled to rise when the deputy sheriff rapped for those present to stand. Attorneys Hugh M. Dorsey and Frank A. Hooper, sr.. of Atlanta; Allen and Newbury of Dallas, Tex, defense ounsel, came behind the judge. { They were followed by Solicitor Boy- | kinand his assistants, Ed. A. Steph- and W. 8. Howard. H. J.

Fox, the witness said, tried to enter Coburn's office through the room he occupled, but he stopped him. Had Fox entered Coburn's office through this door, Coburn's -back would have been turned to him, the witness said. The witness identified a flat-top {desk. which occupled a space in front lnr the jury box, as property of the slain man.” The witness sald he was at one time a law partner of Coburn. Mr. Wilson declared that it was a brief space of time after Fox left the office when he heard five reports of a pistol. He said he heard screams, and when he emerged into the hall found a Mrs. Holbrooke, Mr. Coburn’s etenographer, who said, pt. Coburn had been shot." on | | QDL DERELERE !
