Found that his right leg had sustained a compound comminuted fracture of the femur. Witness dressed the fracture, léft the patient in very low condition, much depressed and suffering considera- bly. {At this point several immaterial questions were asked by the jurors, which, however, developed no new points of evidence. The ante-mortem statement taken by witness through the interpreter Fred Zips was next decailed, The conversa- a8 held with the dying man was repeated by Dr. Ayres and was nearly as follows: The doctor after telling Klusa that he had buta short time to live; drew him out by direct questioning. In response to a query Klusa said. I am afraid they will kill me, if I tell you, if I get well,” “Well go on and tell me all about how this thing happened, and what the cause of the trouble was.” “J caught Frank Grabne In bed with my wife several times and on last Mon- day night found them ageih together. I waa very angry and I jumped at Frank. We had quarrel, my wife helping him; then he struck me with an axe.” “Did he hit you with an axe ora hatchet,” asked the doctor. ¢‘He hit me with a hatchet and cut my face. I was pushed to the door and thrown or pushed down the stairs and broke my leg. Frank then followed me down, and putting his knees on my breast choked me. I laid thereabout half an hour, and then some men carrled me upstai My wife did not push me down stairs, Grabne did that. My age I was born in Poland and am an Austrian Poland, I married my wife in Poland, and have lived with her twenty- one years,” This lfltB-mD!an} Was re- peated by Dr. Ayres, after whick he re- tired. Officer John Turnbull then took the stand. Witness testified that abont 8:30 Tuesday morning he went to the house where the injured man Klusa was lying. The wounded man was in a very low con- ditlon, and appeared to be suffering. Klosa told witnesa that he had been struck by Grabne with the hatchet, and that his wife had helped Grabne. Grabne had then picked him up and thrown him down stairs. Witness then arrested Grabne and placed him in jail. Returned shortly afterwards, and made a scarch of the premires, looking for the hatchet with which Klusa had been struck, Finally found it, concealed un- der a cupboard.

Both ore visited by a reporter last night. Mrs. Klusa, of course, was unable to say anything, as she 1a but little acquainted with the English tongue. A little girl, Victorla Klusa, enfant, was questioned by the reporter, and sald that her mother absent in the house of a nelghbor when her father was hurt, and that she did not see how the accldent occurred. Grabue, a young man of rather stolld stolld physiognomy, but shrewd withal, persisted in his imisence and most solemnly asseverated that he knew nothing as to how Klusa came to be found in his unfortunate condition; that the first he know of it he was called upon to help carry Klusa up stairs; and that far- thermore, he had never been guilty of any improper conduct towards Mrs. Klura, The preliminary examination of the accused will take place this week—as soon as the prosecution can be prepared.
