When Captain Richmond started to enter the rooin Leon came out and, pointing a revelver at the captain said: “I got two this morning: don't come a step nearer or I'll get you, too.™ “Now dor't be foolish, Leon” the captain said; “I want to talk to you.” “Stay right where you are!” com- manded Leos. At this the captain appealed to Mrs. Gilman, knowing, he ithat the boy loved his mother. Then he stated to her that Leon was going to give her the revolver and she advanced to take it. All of this time Leon had the captain covered with the gun and was ding about six feet distant. Mrs. lman approached her son _and snatched the revolver from his hand, then handing it to the witness.

There was no quarrel be- tween them. How The Crime Was Committed. Going to his own home, the testi- mony showed Gilman read and look ed At magazine pictures until 2.45 a m. Then he took his revolver and went to the home of his cousin, Edward, broke out a cellar windoe to gain ac- cess to thie house and entered. On the first floor he removed his overcoat, hat and shoes and crept upstairs to his cousin's room. As he entered he saw Edward, fast asleep in bed. Edward’s face was toward him. Leon crept for- ward and held the muzzle of the re- volver within a few inches of Ed- ward’s head and fired. The wounded man never moved or cried out, the testimony shows. Leon took his own handkerchief from his pocket and he wiped from Edward’s face the blood that poured over it. Later he threw this handkerchief upon the fidor, where it was founq later by the po- lice. Edward's parents were not awakened by the revolver shot and after remaining about the room for Pprobably ten minutes Leon went down stairs, put in his shoes hat and coat and went out, heading for his grand- father's place. Went to Grandfathe: Arrived there, he rang the bell and awakened his aunt. When she came to the door said he wanted some brandy for his mother. who was ill. While the brandy was being brousht he snapped the catch off the spring lock on the door, so that he could come back when ready and sheot his grandfather. Receiving the brandy, he went to a nearby shed and waited for about 45 minutes. Then re re-enter- ed the house, crept upstairs and shot his sleeping grandfather. As at the other home, the shot was mot heard, and Leon made his way out without being detected. returning to his own home about 530 2. m. Meant to Kill Himself. At the inquest Leon admitted to Coroner Bill that he intended to kill himself and spoke of mental trouble that he had suffered with. for more than e year. Under questioning by the coromer at the time of the in- quest, Leon admitted that the manner in which his grandfathers will was drawn might have had something to do with his desperate act, but he at first denled that this was true. Wrote a Letter. Asked as to what he did after he went home from his s on the morning of the shooting. Leon told the coroner that he had given some time to writing a letter and that he was upon this writing when Captin Richmond came to arrest him. The letter was introduced as an ex- hibit.
