Ware according to Upton, Jerked Kern ter partially to his f*at snd than chufged him down with great force, and It waa after this that the pistol shot was fired, tka related elsewhere this testimony was attacked vigorous by cro«Hwaminktton. The defense Introduced Dr. A. #. Tilford end Dr. M B. Keegan to give e*pert evidence as to the mental condition of a man who hau been so treated. The croee-caomlnailon of Dr. Keegan, particularly. wee looked upon by the prosecution u* favorable to their side. Wlltele’* Hypothetical Haestloas. Prosecutor Wlltele put the following hypothetical question: •$uppoM *he man we have here, who got struck In the face, who %as a man of vigorous health and • vlgoroue mind, strong In body, of medium *l*e; that he wa* truck on the side of the noee by a man's flat, and that prior to that Urns— We will say ha had been atruck two or three tlmee on that occasion, and on many occasions before thst dsy he hod been struck snd knocked down repestedly, snd Wes used to hard knocks snd blows of thst kind—do you think he would be bettor able to resist a thing of that kind and riot get dasod and bewildered. better than a man who had never been *n»ck-what do you say about that? "Well, It might be a possible thing for hllh th do so, but at the same time I think s man would have to have dally practice In that kind of thing.** "Suppose he had had practice, not dally, but for ten year*, and that during that time he bad been knocked dov n by every officer who ever attempted to arrest him; that he had been knocked down repeatedly, as muen a# four or live times, and would come to his feet each time and resist again, an.l go down again—suppose that that Is the kind of a man that should haw received a blow on the side of the nose, sufficient to have knocked him down, and produced a fracture simply of the right nasal l.o*i*. what would you i>ay as to whnt tiilgtit he the effect on him?" "I Wouio say that his rev ml would answer the question." "How would It answer It?" ‘"That he was a man that would siand pretty hard hlowa" "And you would suppose tuat a man of that kind would come up again, after being knocked down, would yuu?" ."That Is the supposition.'* Question of Locomotion. 'Suppose he did come up, and suppose he had locomotion enough to get hia right hand back to hta right hip pocket, and suppose he had locomotion enough to get hta right hand up with a gun in It, and suppose that he had enough intelligence at that time, and control enough over his sense of sight to see a poiloeinan In front of him, and the moment that that policemen turned hi* head to the right, where ihe policeman could not see the party named in the hypothetical question, and suppose that man should put this gun within six inches of the policemans bead and pull the trigger pf the single-acting gun, by pulling the hammer buck with his thumb and leveling the gun at hta head, and put a bullet In hia brain, what would you say then would K the effect upon that man of that blow? ’ "I would have to see that act.'* "tuppoee that Is the state of facte, what would you say aa to whether that to!tow had locomotion at that time, or whether or not he waa In a dazed and bewildered condition r "I should sap that he was In a cooedoua state."

"And knew what he was doing?" "Yes. sir." The Defense’s Qneatlaas.

Upton, the wnnee# which the defense produced to prove that Ware had been atruck four bkrwa with the club a few seconds before the fatal shot, Upton became confused. Upton told of various occupations he had followed in hi* Ufa. He waa four year# postmaster at Power Mills. Ky., he Mid. and the "Governor" at Washington had appointed him, but he could not remember the "governor*#" name or ht# own salary, ila could not remember the date of his marriage thirty year* ago. He had been a hotel-keeper at Edinburg and bad lived at Franklin and other towns near Indianapolis until be came here two years ago. He lived in various parts of the etty, until he moved to the bouse whoa# back yard fence face# the brewary office. In front of which the murder occurred. He is enp j,Joyed by the street commissioner s department. He Indignantly denied that his wife took In washing. In relating the circumstances of the shooting. Upton declared that Hensley, who brought up the policeman's bicycle, went into the office while Ferriter waa Bitting on the steps. This contradicts Hensley, who said that be stood close to Way* when th* shot was tired. Upton also said that no one else wsa in sight, v/bscb contradict* th# testimony of Henry Habeney and Fred Wilkins, who said they were near by. The State made an Inquiry aa to how Upton managed to get Into the cae# as a witness without having been before th* coroner or the grand Jury. The wltnaaa Insisted that ha had never spoken to any on# about th# caae or told any one that hr wa* a witness to the shooting, and that he did not know how the defense got hold of th* story. Borne men that he did not know before and has not seen since bought him a Utket for Mart n.ville. he Mid. He suppoaed the Is-wyers would pay hta board. Prosecutor Wit tide asked If he had not been on a continual drunk since arriving in Martinsville. The witness denied this, and dented that he waa a drinking man. After aome excitement further questioning wa* ruled out on tht# subject. Attorney Potts, for the defense, questioned th* witness and brought out the fact that on last Friday night, after Upton had gone to bed, Griffiths and Potta. with two men whom the witness did not know, came to Ms house apd got his story. The witness said he did not know how the lawyers heard of It. The State will argue that Upton did not see any of the shooting. The State will also argue that It believe* It was the Intention of Ferriter to shoot Hensley as well a# Ware, but that Hensley going around the < orner saved him. •There la one thing I wish this witness would answer," said Judge Grubbs, "and that 1* what became of the policeman's mace after he struck Ferrher with It." "Why. he put It back Into his hip pocket," replied th# witness, and a smile wa* visible on th* faces of several of the jurors. Ferriter on the fttaad. When Mr. Griffiths told John Ferriter to take the wUnees-stand. there was a turning of faces toward the young man. aa he walked in front of the Jury and seated himself in the chair. He was perfectly cool and collected, as if he was not on trial for his Ilf*. He said that he formerly lived at M Cook street, in Indiana poll*, with his mother and sis-ter-in-law, but since he has been in Jail they have moved. He said he will be twetUy-flve years of age next January. Is five feet three and a half inches and weighs IS pounds. The persons who were with him In th# neighborhood at the time of the shooting were Dan Kinney, Jo* Nlland. Frand and Joe Keefe and William Callagan. "Nlland and I were sparring tn a friendly manner." said Ferriter. "and he struck me tn the mouth with the back of his hand. The blow waa a light one, and, though it brought a little blood from my upper Up. it did not hurt me. Nlland started to run. and I ran after him Just In the friendliest kind of way for ten or fifteen feet. Nlland came back another way. and everything was alt right. We were not mad. and there was no trouble or loud talking or swearing. Nlland did not have a brick In Ms hand or a coupling-pin when he came hack, and did not ask for his bat. I did not tell him that he had hit me in th* mouth. When I ran after him there were no stones thrown, la a little while 1 left the boys in the alley, and I took the pall and went to Oakley's saloon for some more beer. 1 started back west in Georgia street, and I did not aee anything of the rest of the boys. I passed the alley and then turned back, because I thought the boys had gone up the alley. As I got to the Junction of the alley and Georgia street. I saw policeman Ware there. He said to me. ‘IPs funny you fellows can’t drink your boer without raising so much trouble.* I said, T don’t know of any trouble around here. There hasn’t been any/ Then he said. 'What have you got there r nodding toward the tin bucket I wa* holding in my hand. I said. ‘I got some beer/ Then he said to me. ’You give me that beer.’ 1 said to him. No. 1 won t; I have Just bought It and paid tor it, and tt is mine.’ - Veil* How He Shot Ware. "All this time he had me by the coat with his left hand, and was reaching for the beer with Bis right, but I held it away from him. 1 held It back, and be caught me by the arm and pulled the bucket around, and 1 turned with it. He gave my arm a quick Jerk and the beer spilled on both of us. At no time had he said anything about arresting me. nor did he make any effort to search me. When'the beer flew on him he became very angry, and knocked me down with j Ms flat. I fell on my back, and he reached down and got me and pulled. : pushed, hauled and Jerked me up the al- j ley, 1 was pulling back, and he knocked 1 me down again, and when I got to my feet and had gone a short distance he > again knocked me down. All this time 1 was not doing a thing to him. 1 did not strike or attempt to strike him. but was pulling away from him. At the steps of the brewery office he told me to ait down. I understood what he said, but did not know what he meant, and stood there a second or two. Then he struck me again across the fare and noee with a club, or something 1 thought was a club, for it was harder than his fist. I don't remember what I done after that. 1 was stunned and hardly know what 1 did do. I don't remember sluing on the step when he struck me the last time. I was confused and have little ! recollection of it. but l thought l heard him say *1 will give it to you again.' I i thought I saw the policeman make a t threatening motion, and l feared he was \ going to strike me. Then the shot was! fired. “Hud you any Intention; John, of kill- f Ing Mr. Wnref asked Mr. Griffiths. j "indcod, 1 did not. 1 only w anted to |

get out of the way. I had not the alight1st intention of killing him. When I rtiffiT to aay self I was naming. 1 have no recollection of firing the shot when I was running. Nor did I see anybody while I was running op the track. I was arrested at Ber.-em street. I wws leaning against the fence, exhausted, with my back turned to the street. I heard a voice My: Throw up your hands, or I will kin yon. Don't more, damn yon. or I will btov your head off.* I turned around and said: T ain't going to move; I can't move.' I did not know then that It waa n police officer. 1 told him that I would go with him, and I west along without any trouble. That policeman never struck me a single blow, and he bad no reason to do ao. X did not attempt to draw a weapon, and made no resistance. He out the ‘niogerff on my arm. and took me to Kinney's ilverygUble. My face and nose was all covered with Mood. My noae was broken, right efe closed up. and I was suffering great pain. At the polle* station I was given medical assistance.’' Fenrffew's Criminal Record. Prosecutor WfKsle’s croea-exammatioc showed that Ferriter had a remarkably bad criminal record for one of his age. He was sent to the Reform School when between seven and eight years old and waa released after three years, “on his good behavior/' but wa* soon taken back for two years, during which time he escaped and waa captured by an Indianapolis policeman, Thomas Kingsbury. He dented throwing n stone at Kingsbury to resist arrest. After relearn from Reform School in MSh he worked at various boiler and engine-works. He was in the Marion county work-boose in MM, then spent several months in Jail, then went to the penitentiary for three years and nin* months end returned for very brief periods of work and loafing, liberally Interlarded with work-house sentences and he ts now under indictment for felony, beside* the charge of murder. Prosecutor Wlltale proposed to show that Ferriter struck policeman Kingsbury with a stone while resisting arrest, and that he knocked another officer down with an empty beer keg. while the officer wa# trying to arrest him In a box car; that he struck patrolman Ashe, who had him under arrest, and the ]«- trolman had to knock him down before he could subdue him; that he tried to stab patrolman Henry Slate, who was trying to arrest him; that he bad a desperate fight with patrolman Ed Wheeler that he tried to shoot patrolmen Shaffer and Irish, who arrested him in Madison avenue; that he had drawn a revolver on a bartender in an East Washington-street barrel-house, and would have kilted him but for the arrival of the police, and the police had a desperate struggle with him before they could get him to the police station. Mr Wiltsle asked Ferriter If he bad not seen patrolman Ware at the place near the brewery where a man was killed recently. Ferriter replied that he had read of the killing in the paper*, and that he was not there; that at the time of the shooting referred to he was in the Marton county Jail. "That's a good allM,” said Mr. Potta Ferriter did not remember seeing Sullivan or Hensley about the brewery office. and had heard no complaints of the actions of himself and friends in the alley. One of the jurors was taken 111, and the court adjourned until this morning. ARGPMBKT BEGI X TO-DAY. Closing Testimony by Ferriter -» A Few Witnesses In Rebnttml. Special to The Indianapolis News. Martinsville, Ind., October 7.—As Ferrtter entered the court room this morning Mrs. Annie Ware, the aunt, and Mrs. Margaret War*, the mother of the dead policeman, caught sight of him. and at once gave way to tears. They went into the Judge’s private room, and there with their arms about each other sobbed for several minutes. A number of women In the audience who noticed the scene wept. Ferriter mw the women, but paid no attention to them. If he was affected he gave no sign. The defendant continued hts testimony. He denied that he had begged the officer not to strike him and said that he would go. The defendant Insisted that he did not know why the policeman struck him. He did not notice anything In the policeman’s hands when he waQ told to sit on the steps. Ferriter said he had been hit with a mace before, and the blow he received at the office steps seemed to be from a weapon of that kind. The pistol that killed Ware was shown the witness and he indentifled It as his property. Mr. Wiltsle had Ferriter stand up and place the pistol In his pocket. He asked him to go through the motions of drawing K, but Ferriter said he could not do so; that he did not know what occurred there except that the pistol was fired. Ferriter Unahakew. The rigid examination by Mr. Wiltsle could not shake him, and he could remember nothing except that he was anxious to get away to save himself another beating. He had no thought, he declared, of drawing a gun when Rochtord arrested him. and denied saying that he knew he had shot the policeman, but did not know he had killed him. In going down the alley after War# had struck I im the third time. Ferriter said that he did not notice Upton or any one else, and denied resisting policemen who arrested him. * . The defense tried to show that the police have persecuted Ferriter. even to making him lose a situation while working on the Stevenson building, and had prevented him from earrjng an honest Itvelihoed. But the Court would not permit it. At 10 o'clock Ferriter retired. He made a good witness in his own behalf and the State could not shake him from the story that the killing of Ware was not premedltHted or that he knew what he was doing. Ferriter* bad record was the strongeet evidence he gave against himself. The Testimony Closed. With Ferriter** testimony the defense rested The State in rebuttal called Mrs. Anna Morris, of MS East Georgia street, who from the window of her house, opposite the brewery office, saw the killing. She testified emphatically that Ware did rot strike Ferriter with anything at the steps She did not see Hensley at the steps! but three men came up with the nrisoner Ware and another man. who was leading a wheel. Mr*. Morris was not before the coroner or the grand Jury. •To whom did you first tell your storyV asked Mr AVlItsle. To Griffiths snd Potts." was the reply. The witness said she told the attorneys that she did not want to testify for fear she would make John Hensley mad, as she could not teU the story as k* told it. She did not see Ware fall into the arms of Hensley. The State introduced a number of Indianapolis policemen to show that Ferriter’a reputation Is bad. and that of Ware was good. Henry F. Habeney recalled said that there was no man in the alley at the time of the shooting. This was to show that Upton was not near the scene aa he testified to being Mr. Habeney also said that Ware did not strike Ferriter at all at the steps just before the killing. At II JO both sides announced that they were done, and the case is closed so far as the evidence Is concerned. The opening argument for the State was made by Deputy Prosecutor Sedwlck. He will be followed by Mr. Potts and Mr. Griffiths for the defense. Mr. Williams will speak for the State, and the cloeing argument for the prosecution will be made by Mr. Wiltsle. - o A IURDLRER S SUICIDE.
