Rowed into shore and saw the Halberstadt boys and two others whom he did not know. Locked boat to sappling and said to the boys: "What are you going to do?" They said nothing I heard. I walk- , ed down to the river and along the boat to get my bait bucket and I bait. As I reached in I heard a noise and turned to find the boys ■ all coming at me. They jumped on my back. I am left handed and always shoot revolver with that hand. As I stood up a stranger to me came from north and two others from east. They clinched with me and the others came ‘shammerty bang', the stranger holding my ’ arms while the others struck me , 25 or 30 times in face. It seemed a long time to me. I don't remem•'ber of going down but we did. I was face downward with my face turned to one side, partly on el- ! bows. Had the gun in my right l hand all the time. They struck. • kicked and stamped me on the I head. "The gun was not discharged bei fore I fell and the gun was not . pointed by me at any one at any I time.

in alley by Garwood's barn. My face was bruised and cut and my eyes turned green all around them. Got a pan at Archers and rags from Baumans and a man named Ehrsam helped me wash”. The man said he wore underwear. pants, overalls, shirt and wampus or sweater and that no licks were struck after he fired second shot. ■ Why did you fire that first shot, Joe?” Objection overruled. "I thought it would scare them off”. "Did you think you were in dang-1 er?" "Yes sir." Joe said he was shot in wrist and showed scar. The bullet en-1 tered just above the wrist knuckle and came out about four inches up ■ left arm and that he still suffered some pain trom it. Joe said he saw Sheriff Johnson in front of Baumans just as he was ready to 1 start to Decatur, got in with him and came to jail. “At the time second shot was ■ fired did you point the guu at anyone?" “No sir."

"Did you ever have an intention of shooting Doras Werling?" “No sir." Direct examination occupied an hour and twenty minutes. Cross-examination began at 10:40, Mr. Lutz questioning. Joe resumed the witness stand at 1:30 and concluded at 2:05, having been on the stand three and a half hours. He said he took the gun from the Boat with his right hand and had it in that hand when he shot, don't remember which way he shot, in fact, it was a mix-up and I didn’t know who was hit. didn't now 1 was shot until after I got to jail, knew my arm was hurt but didn't know it was a shot, didn't tell any one I had shot a man.

Joe insisted that all four of the boys attacked him. Asked about Luther Sovine he said “yes. he was with them and the four came at me.” Re-examined Joe said he had gone to school as far as the tth grade, went off and on about six ■ or seven years. Suffered severely two weeks after the fight, couldn't sleep. Cross-examined again. Joe said he read a good bit. newspapers, detective stories, wild west, gun men stories. Askeel if he had . permit to carry firearms. Joe said ! “not a revolver but other arms.” Re-examined he said he had a hunter’s license and that he also had read the Bible some.

■ you, Joe, what they were going to I do?” "Not much difference.” “What did you say F it for?" I "Oh 1 just said it.” "I didn't hear ’em say any thing about going in bathing or didn’t 'see any bathing suits, I always car--1 ried a gun when huntin' or fishin'.” Joe became quite nervous under i cross-examination and twice was , requested by Judge Erwin to take his hand from his mouth.
