is usually shot a distance of thirty or forty feet. REDIRECT—The gun is a sixteen repeater. Coombs is a good shot.
RE-CBOSS—Did you know that when Charley and Ota Jordon would ring the bell all they had to do was to hit a big piece of carpet to the right of the target behind which was a big bell Witness opened his eyes in surprise and said he did not. Witness was excused and the gun was inspected by each juror.
HENRY BROWN
lives south of Coombs, next door. Was awakened that morning by two gunshots and heard conversation. Saw three forms at the corner of Spring and Walnut streets from witness' door. HelpedRandall carry McClure into Blue's house. Heard no other noises.
CROSS.—Asked McClure who shot him and he said he did not know. Mrs. Blue said something to Randall about being there before and cursing her. He made no particular answer. Witness was of the opinion that Randall was drunk and smelled whiskey onMcGlure's breath.
TADE O'CONNERS,
the policeman. Was at Coombs' house at four o'clock the morning of the murder. Examined the premises some minutes after and there were no clubs or bricks in the yard, but two pickets on the walk. It was light enough to see a man a half a square. Saw no light in Coombs's house at four o'cclock.
CROSS.—Was not looking for a light particularly. Did not then know that Coombs did the shooting. Saw no bricks on the walk and noticed no brick piles around.
C. N. WILLIAMS.
Saw McClure at the dance and in the LaVeta restaurant. Walked down the street a short distance with them from the resturant, but did not go to the north end of the town at all. This was before o'clock. Walter McClure and the other boys were perfectly sober when witness left them.
CROSS—Don't know who Walter took to the ball, but think the lady he marked could not go.:
WALLACE COONS.
Saw Walter McClure at the dance and at Scott Steele's restaurant. He was perfectly sober when witness left him at one o'clock.
CROSS.—Only knew they were sober by their actions, but should say they were perfectly so.
JENNIE BAILEY
lives in the north end. The party of McClure, Randall and Ensminger were at her house early the morning of the murder and stayed half an hour. The party drank a little beer and played four games of cards. McClure's conduct was very good and he acted perfectly sober, so did Ensminger. Randall was drunk and had a bottle of wine. Each one of the other boys took just one swallow from it. The party was sober on leaving witness' house.
CROSS.—They appeared sober.' Did not want to see the boys drink the wine because witness does not believe in drinking. Two bottles of beer were bought but it was not all used. McClure did not drink half a glass. Witness took a glass of wine herself at the invitation of Mr. Randall. Randall had a little scuffle with one of the girls on leaving, McClure did not.
GEORGE GRAIIAM S
is a brother-in-law of Walter McClure. Has lived here for sixteen years. Saw him at Mrs. Blue's a few minutes before five on the morning of the murder. Walter was in bed Buffering great pain. Was with him then almost constantly until he died. Walter said he did not touch the house nor was he inside the yard. He struck the fence with a picket he picked up from the walk and was shot immediately after. He said that they made 110 noise as they went past the house the first time. (The gun was then exhibited and the witness said Coombs had purchased it through his firm)It was a Coat's repeating rifle and the best known to the trade. Purchased it as a favor for the defendent to save him money. Walter was sober. He vomited just after getting home and there was no evidence or taint of whisky or wine in the vomit. Witness emptied vomit himself.
CROSS—Walter did not tell witness who shot him or anything about it until after he knew Chumasero came. Talked with him about it before Chumasero came. He said it was light enough to see. He did not state where ho was when Coombs shot. No ono asked him after Chumasero left for a further statement. Walter knew he was sure to die. He said "If it is so I cannot help it." Witness told Walter that Coombs had shot him and asked him if in view of death, which was certain, he had not better make a statement to bo used. He thought he could not live two hours. He never expressed a hope or thought of his recovery. Did not talk to him of his future condition until a few moments before he died.
RE-DIRECT—Hip father told him at Mrs. Blue's that he was sure to die. He then said "I know it, but it is too late.
WALTER ROSEBRO, 3:!
Visited Coombs-at the jail the morning of the murder. He said ho supposed he would be sent up but when he came back he would do the same thing over again.
CROSS: He said Walter was his friend and that ho didn't go to kill him. J. C. CHUMASERO is a Justice of the Peace. On the morning of the murder went to David McClure's to take down the ante-mortem statement. Mr. Chumasero then read the statement as follows: "I was passing the house going north.
Hal Ensminger and Mr. Randall were in front of me. As I came to the fence north of Coombs's house I tried to pull a picket off the fence, but could not. Found a picket lying on the ground in front of the house picked it up and struck the fence with it, Coombs's fence. I did not strike the houso, didn't touch the house, didn't go inside the yard. Immediately after striking the fence and while I was on the side walk I was shot. It was dark at the time just before four o'clock in the morning of the thirtieth of January. What I have here stated is the whole truth."
CROSS—McClure was very weak at the time the statement was made. He merely replied to questions asked him. He was in a comatoso condition. The witness would write a paragraph and then ask the witness if it was correct. Witness asked, "Walter, do you think you will ever get well?" He replied, "I don't know." Ho was intelligent when he made his statement.
REDIRECT—When his father would arouse him he would give intelligent

PUN IN TEE 00TJN0IL.
The Light Eesolution Amended and Councilman Walter Makes Himself Liable To a $1,000 Fine.
The Councilmen were slow in arriving Monday evening and at 7:30 o'clock all were present but Scott, who has been sick for several days. The anti light people licked their chops and it was rumored in the corridors that the ques tion would then be settled voting down the old resolution, but when the excitement was at its highest pitch the wily Jefferson came sauntering out of the Clerk's office and took his accustom ed seat. A full light photograph of our local legislature about that time would be a good seller. The body proceeded to business at once and the resolution passed December 15th which authorized the purchase of an electric light plant to furnish the citizens with light for their dwellings and places of business was altered by striking out the above mentioned purpose and substituting a clause which provided that the purpose of the plant should be to light the streets, alleys and other public places of the city. It was also decided, to purchase the necessary grounds upon which to construct the plant, as the people living in the vicinity of engine house Number 2 objected to having the light plant in their vicinity. These amendments were decided by the Mayor, the council's vote standing a tie. When the excuses of the absentees from the special meeting of a week ago last Saturday evening, were called for there was quite a scene. Messrs. Evans, Elmore and Walter had been absent. Mr. Eviins said that he had to stay home and take care of the children Mr. Elmore said he had no excuse to offer and Mr. Walter openly declared that he had kept away to prevent the purchase of an electric light plant. This caused a seneation and Mayor Carr took down the statute and read the riot act. The law provides that any councilman who stays away from any stated or special meeting to hinder or impede legislation shall be fined a sum not less than $100 or over SI,000. In view of Mr. Walter's declaration it is difficult to see how he can escape the fine. This was evidently an eye opener to him and ho was completely floored.
I did not go into Coombs's yard nor communnion services at the Presbytertouch the house. I simply made little church Sunday. loud noise. I did not strike on the fence.) The scholars of tho M. E. Sunday This was Charlie Coombs's house. As school met at the church last night to we started toward town, going south, practice for Easter service Sunday.
Proceeding to regular business a petition was offered which asked a sidewalk from the creamery to Chestnut and Scott street through it. Referred to the Judiciary committee.

Third Ward: Precinct 1, Reuben Smith's wagon Bhop Precinct 2, Henry Schenck's tin shop Precinct 3, College street engine house Precinct 4, Sam Johnson's residence.

HOUSEHOLD FAVORITE.
A young girl here had been suffering for 12 years with blood diseases until she had lost the use of her limbs and was subject to many troubles incident to the disease.
