MARRIOTT SHOWS SCARS. After several other questions Mr. John son asked the witness to show to the jury the scars from the wounds recelved by him on the night of the shooting. This vas objected to by the defense, but the rt overruled the objection upon the ertion of the attorney for:the State it was his desire to show to the | that jurors the exact entry and exit of every bullet and to demonstrate by actual in- | spection that the wounds were inflicted from behind, and, not from the side, as stated by the witnesses for the defense. The witness then indicated for the jury | the ‘position of every wound and - the | point of entrance and egress. | "Mr. Dunne requested Mr. Marriott to turn the side of his leg to the jury, and | asked the jurors to look very. closely. He then had the witness turn ‘his back to the jury. It was evident that this last move of the defense .was a master stroke, as | the -scar- could not be seen from. the rear, demonstrating that, Marriott was standing with his side to the defendants when shot, which corroborates the testi- mony of Williams.

ARGUMENTS WAIVED. At noon an adjournment taken un- | til 2 olclack to allow the service of a| subpena on Daniel McLaughlin, a news- | paper man, whom the prosecution wished to place upon the stand to testify to ce tain statements made- by Mr. Willlams on the night of the shooting. | Upon the calling of the case in the aft- | ernoon the officer sent to secure the at-| tendance of Mr. McLaughlin reported | that he was reporting the Byron wreck inquest at Martinez and the subpena could | not -be served on-him. Upon this show- ing the prosecution rested in rebuttal. | The surprise of the day was sprung | when . the defense announced that it was willing to submit the case without argu ment. This occurred after some wrang- | ling between the two sides as to how | many of counsel should argue the case. The prosecution was taken entirely by surprise, and Deputy District ‘Attorne: Greaney repaired to the office of District | Attorney Byington for instructions. He rcturned in a few minutes and stated that the prosecution was also willing to sub- mit the case without argument. Judge | Cook stated that he was taken by sur- prise, and adjourned the court for half an hour to prepare instructions and to study the instructions submitted by coun- sel. Upon the return of Judge Cook both sides walved written instructions, and an oral charge to the jury followed. Judge Cook showed fairness and impartiality in his charge and covered all the points of law. involved in the case with great clear- ness. He told the jurymen that the ques- tion of the truth or falsity of the state- ments contained in the News Letter arti- | cle offered in evidence was not to be con- | sidered by them, as it had been admittea | in evidence solely to show the intent of the defendants. | Hebrews Celebrate.
