Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Aug. 23.—The prosecution has discovered what will prove startling evi- dence in the case of Charles Ardell, who is now on his way back from Nebraska to stand trial here for the murder of Dan Donnelly cn the morning of June 27, 189. The District Attorney has takeh the depo- sitions of two new eye-witnesses, who will swear that they saw Ardell shoot Donnelly several blocks from the place where he was supposed to have received the fatal wounds. The witnesses are Dan Murphy, a saloon man, and a woman known as Lena Winn. A harrender named Jack Brooks was convicted a year ago of the Donnelly murder on circumstantial evidence and is now under life sentence for the crime. The newly discovered evidence, how- ever, throws a different light on the kill- ing and Brooks may be exonerated. It is a peculiar fact that the new testimony accords with the dK"‘l statement made bv Donnelly, which was discarded at the trial of Brooks.
