and his arrival, I remember, caused me to wonder at the time." Here occurred the clash between Hamill and Whttlock. When the verbal war subsided, the witness continued: "Collings told me that someone had put the billy in his hands at the sceno of the shooting. He called me around behind my stairway and unwrapped a paper from which he took the billy. He told me that he did not want to be a witness in the case and said that his wife told him to see me as I was deputy prosecutor and might be able to fix it up. "I told him I did not believe that I could. I took the billy to the office of the prosecutor next day. "Yes, I stopped at police station. I believe that I showed the billy to Chief of Police Fasig." "When did the attorneys for the defense learn of the billy?" "Mr. Hamill asked me about the billy a day or two later. I told him I was not conducting the state's case and that he. would find out in due time."

Here Attorney Whitlock took the witness. "How far Is It from your home to Hamill's office?" "About two miles." "How far is it from your home to Codings' home?" "About three miles." "You did not tell Collings that he would not have to appear as a witness?" "No."

Told Defense of Billy.

"Were you not present when Attorneys Werneke, Foley, Roach and myself decided that the billy was such important evidence that the attorneys for the defense should be notified?" "YeV "How long after was it that Hami'l Called at the prosecutor's office and was shown the billy?" "Several days, I believe." "Were you ever engaged in real estate deals with Emll Ehrmann or any of the Ehrmanns?" "I opened several- subdivisions with Charles Ehrmann, but I never had any dealings with Emll Ehrmann." "When was this?" "Six or seven years ago."

Dr. Jett Called.

Dr. Jett was asked that at the time of the inquest that Dan Jordan did not say in substance that Wade was the ore that told Cora Donham to say to Howard that he would not slap her now like he did the night before when eho had no protection.

Dr. Jett said that \vas Jordan's testimony as he remembered it. Miss Carrie Hyde, stenographer, was called and was asked the same question. She 6aid that she did not transcribe Jordan's testimony verbatim but took it in substance and said that she believed that was what he testified to in substance

Says He Saw Billy.

Harry Keefe, aged 21, employe of ftulman's, was the next witness called. He testified as follows: "I was employed at Hulman's on the day of the shooting. I was excused from .work about ten minutes of 6 and walked down towards tre Ehrmann plant which is about +00 feet east of the Hulman building. There were about fifty people in the crowd in front of the Ehrmann plant. There were a number of women and girls and they were talking about a girl going to slap some man. I saw the Donham girl strike Howard and then the crowd backed into the doorway of the Ehrmann factory. There were fifteen or twenty men in the vestibule. Reclcert and an elderly gentleman were standing in the doorway. The crowd was fighting and I heard a shot. Wade fell at my feet. I turned him over and saw the billy strapped to his wrist. IHIs shirt was on fire. I don't know vftio put the fire on his shirt out. Ehrmann was standing in the vestibule with a smoking revolver in his hand."

Keefe was cross-examined by Attorney Whitlock who questioned, him relative to the street cars in front of

His

prosecution Grills Collings for Faulty Memory on Stand. By Staff Correspondent.

ROOKVILliE, Ind., Oct 9.—In what ia thought to have been one of the hardest fought battles ever heard in thd Parke county courts over testimony, Richard Werneke, prosecutor of Vigo county, and his counselors, scored against the defense* In the trial of Emll Ehrmann, charged with the killing of Edward Wade, a teamster, when J. G. Collings, a bank auditor, was placed on the stand by the defense. In the cross-examination Chas. Whitlock, one of the state's attorneys, succeeded in breaking down some of the most important points in the defense of Mr. Ehrmann and there was such a rapid cross-flre between tho attorneys for the state and the defense that the court was forced several times to call order.

Retaliation on the part of the defense was evident when Finley McNutt endeavored to show that the witness was a part of the attempt to conceal the billy as evidence in the trial. Carson Hamill, In a formal statement to the court stated that the witness had "discredited" his own testimony when he had admitted that he had followed the command to "ditch" the billy.

So strong was the grilling of the state during the cross-examination of Mr. CollingB that it was difficult to determine whether there had been a billy brought into the evidence. The only points upon which Collings was absolutely sure were that he had been given a billy and that someone had told him to "ditch" it. To the majority of questions put to him he answered "I don't know" or "I can't recall." Several times in the cross-examination Collings contradicted his statements made in the djrect examination.

the man who slapped Cora Donham, was under examination a great part erf the afternoon by th6 state in cross-examination. Charles Whitlock brought in the evidence given to the prosecuting attorney In cross-exam-ination with teiling effect The line of questions and answers follow: "I will ask you If you didn't say In Answer to Mr. Wernekers question of how close you were to Mr. Ehrmann, if you didn't say: 1 was right at his side?"' "I don't remember." "tn the conversation at the prosecutor's office on the 28th of Miay did not Mr. Werneke ask: 'Mr. Ehrmann was in the vestibule and the maji he shot was on the sidewalk, wasn't he?' And if you didn't answer: 'No, the man he shot was in that little vestibule.'" "I don't remember." "Here the attorneys tor the state endeavored to have Mrs. Howard's statements which she made to Richard Werneke, prosecuting attorney of Vigo county, regarding a billy brought out The defense objected and the court sustained the objection.

Harry Wallace, attorney for the defense,- then took the witness on redirect examination. He asked: "How were you taken to the prosecutor's office?" 'In the police patrol." "How many policemen were there 7" "Two." "Were any of Mr. Ehrmann's attorneys present during this time?" "No."

Roach and Wallace Clash. Joe Roach, one of the state's attorneys, rose to this feet when this question was asked, and said: "I object because there's just as much liklihood of any of Ehrmann's attorneys being present as there is of any of the state's attorneys being present at that conference Mrs. Howard had a few hours after the shooting." "That's an absolute falsehood, Mr. Roach, and you know it," retorted Mr. Wallace. "Well, you're not on oath!" exclaimed Roach. "But I'm practicing at this bar," Wallace answered.

The court then called order and asked the gentlemen to be seated.
