Capt. A. H. Hardy, of Denver, rifle
expert and crack shot of Denver, who
Is well known in Box Butte county,
was called to Doulder, Colo., Satur
day to testify In the case In which
Rienzl Dickens is charged with the
murder of his father, William 11.
Dickens, a prominent banker of
Lonpniont.
Soon after the murder detectives
learned that the defendant hnd pur
chased a 250-3000 Savage rifle and a
box or copper covered cartridges in
Denver and a subsequent search re
vealed the fact that the gun hnd been
taken apart and the pieces hid In var
ious places at the Rlenza Dickens
home. At the trial Saturday the bul
let which caused the death of the
banker was Bhown in court and Capt.
Hardy was called as an expert to tes
tify as to what mane or gun wouin
ohoot that particular bullet.
His testim ony showed his thorough
knowledge of guns of all descriptions
and proved valuable to the state In
prosecuting the case.
He was handed the pieces and th
copper butt of the bullet which end
ed the life of William H. Dickens.
There came the voice of the district
attorney in cold inquiry: "What kind
of a rifle did that bullet come from?"
There was a pause, then the answer:
"From a 250-3000 Savage rifle."
It sounded Impossible, almost
wlerd. that a bullet should pass thru
a double strength window pane, tear
its way thru the body of a man. im
bed Itself In a wall .and then remain
to tell its story and its birthplace.
But, apparently, it was simple for
Captain Hardy.
In fact the whole testimony of the
expert was toward the conclusion
that the hullet which killed William
H. Dickens could have come from no
rifle in the world except a 250-3000
Savage.
"How long has this rifle been on
the market?" District Attorney
Fleming asked, as he began his questioning.
"About a year, It's a new gun.
"And have you tested one of these
guns?" .
"I've tested six.
"Are you acquainted with the am
munition for the gun? Please de
scribe the gun," the district attorney
ordered.
"It is a gun with a velocity or 6
feet a second. It has a bore of 250
thousandths of an inch, or a quarter
of an Inch. It is generally known
as a .35 caitDer gun. ibb uuw?i
weighs 87-100ths of a grain and is
covered with a jacket or pure copper.
It is an expanding bullet, not a soft
nosed one, and its expansive power
is far greater than that of a mush
room bullet. Itts the greatest gun
of its kind for killing purposes. The
bullet has highly explosive powers
after hitting animal tissue."
"Have you made any tests with the
gun, regarding the action of the bul
let after hitting a double strength
pane of glass?"
"I have made many. I find that
invariably the bullet turns sideways
after hitting the glass."
It was here where the net began to
tighten. For a description of the
wmmri made in the body of William
H. Dickens, according to the conten
tions of the state, show that the bul-
