man to drive to O'Nel , but ho said no , but
that they woult geL to O'Nei probably not

she was shot ; said he did not do It : that he
was 1 detective. She scratched the hands of
time leader when he was trying to pull Scott
out Of the bugg
"I recognized a ring that one of the men
had on , the little finger of his left Ilnd , " she
said , "as belonging to Mos Elliott , but could
hardly believe It was him as I did not think
he could be so dirty , low down as that. "
She then described the ring as 1 plaIn
gold b4mud ring , marked on top. She felt
sure thnt It was Elliott. She Identified Harris -
risby his eyes. He had apiece or a guumny-
sack ? .0Xer ils I ! ( face , and the space. for ,1)

"Yes , and I cn't ba tooled In them either "
She Identfed 1ulhan by his actions antI
his yoice and was positive that he was the
leader ot the mob and the man whose hands
she scratched.
Dr. Giigan was recalled by the state and

Muihihman's hands after being arrestell , which
Julhan claimed were caused by - 1 horS
kicking him. The doctor swore that they
were undoubtely scratches. I
The next witness called was Mrs. Scott.
A deathlike stiness prevailed as she took
the stand , and durIng her lestmony was
eagerly listened to by the prIsoners , attorneys
and the throng that fled the room. Her
story Is about as follows . shorn ot the Inter-
rogntorllo of thl counsel :

house near Parker , I saw 1 man stick , his 1
head up over time wail . and I remarked : !
'Thero Is 1 man , ' I looked again and saw no
ono and thought . I must hnve been mistaken ,
when , I saw five or six men. Our team was
going on a good fast trot , ant when we got
about opposite limo sOIl wail I saw six or
eight men come ouL of the old wall. They
made a lot of noise and commenced shooting ,
and Etta says : 'Oh , I am eliot. ' The horse
broke loose and pulled Henry over the dash-
board There was blood on Iiarret's neck ,
and he said he was shot There was a
wagon , buggy , road cart end two on horse-
back , ono ot them a gray horse Three men
