The circumstances attending the tragedy were narrated by various witnesscs who were sleeping in the house at the time, or were on the scene early in the morning. Little new Information w brought out, however. The attendance was not heavy. The direct examination of Bert M. Hall was concluded last night, a large number of persons listening to the testimony. The cross-examination by Mr. Miller was severe and thorough, but elicited nothing new and | d1d not weaken his evidence in the least The testimony of Mr. Hall was substan- tially the same as at the preliminary hear- ing. The defence attempred to show by | this witness that the telephone in the Lillle home was not in warking condition that morning and that it was necessary'to €0 to Mr. Hall's livery barn to eall Dr. Beede. The cross-examination of Mr. Hall materially strengthened the state's case.

The quést granted and the jury, In cha; of Sheriff West and Bailiff Hichworth, in- spected the premises. Agnes Hall, wite of Bert M. Hall, was the first witness.

His head was turned slightly to the west. "I would say his face was one- third of the way down from perpendicular. When I first went into the room Mrs. Lil- lie was wringing her hands and crying and Mrs. Lillle said to Dr. Stewart: ‘Oh, doc- tor, is he dying, is he dying? The doctor 414 not answer. In a little while she said: ‘I wonder It my pocketbook is gone,’ and she stepped to the dresser and opened the drawer and sald: ‘Yes, it s gone, and there was $300 in it.' She then' told about |wecing a man. She sald something woke her and she saw a man standing by the bed pointing a revolver at her and she rolled off the bed and the man shot and pointed at the hole in the window. Either Dr. Stewart or myself asked If Mr. Lillle had any money. She picked up his pants and #ald there was not a cent there.” The cross-examination elictted nothing new, only made the evidence decidedly stronger for the state. [ That Open Kitchén Door.

I do not know where Mrs. Lillle was, but think she was downstairs. After we four girls [got up we went to the door and looked at Mr. Lillle. Mrs, Lillle was not there. We went downstairs and Mrs. Lillle was stand- ing at the telephonme. I did not hear any- one say anything about help, but one of the girls ted that we go o Dr. Stew- art's.
