The trial of Major Williams for the
nnrder of James Hughes was occupying
he time of the district court ycslcnlay.
Milch Intelcst is fell in the tiial and vari
ous predictions are m.ido as to the out
come. The killing of Hughes occuired
ijearago at the I'nion Avenue hotel.
As lliof-icts were lonuied at the time It
ippcaictl that Williams and Hughes
veto both members of a gang of ciooks ,
heie being four in the p.irty , the Iwo
otheis being Jack Roach , "Three Fing

ow named Ctin.in Thev. had some
lillieullv , the supposition being that it
was a quarrel over the division of spoils.

major. He and his two companions lied ,
ma the two succeeded in making their
escape Williams was hi ought back for

was guilty of the mimlct until one by
one the witnesses to the tiagedy either

event In the com t loom he piesoires
the same reticence , never olleiing a biig-
estion to Ins ntloincy , and haidly mov
ing a muscle from opening to adjonin-
inent. Little has ever been learned of
liis history , but many rumors aie alnoad ,
ill pointing to his [ .being an all-'itound
ciook , vcrv bhrowd , of far more than or
dinary ability and with nerves of lion.
Them was sonic stiong evidence gained
yestcidny Irom Mrs. Unthanlc and horn
lici husb.uid in leg.ud to the dying dec
larations of Hughes. ' 1 hey vveic with

Mrs. Unthanl ; lie stated that tne delend-
unt shot him. Thciowas ome sp.iuing
holweeii the attorneys and much ques-
Jonmgof the'vitncsscs ab to the evict
language used.
The substance of the testimony was
.hat Mis Unthank asked iiiin if M.ijoi
Williams was the one who shot him , and
Hughe- , told her that he certainly was ,
aiulth.it ho would have to aiibvvoi to ( Sod
for it. There was much questioning as
to whether the words "Major Williams"
V7cicu el ( by Mrs. Unthank or by the
Ijing manor whether the name Williams
was used at all , or not.
Considci.iblc inloie-t was felt in the
testimony ot George ( icisiiaeher. llewas
liute coiiununicative at the time of the
tragedy , but since then has lorgotton a
staitling number of facts coiiceining
which he seemed then so lannliar. He
was befoio the giand juiy , and so little
could bo Ic.u ncd fiom him , although
there vv as no doubt of his being an eye
witness to the hhqotmir , that the giand
jmy indicted him jointly with the major.
Jack Honeh and Curian. As stated by
Ilie judge from the bench yesteulay this
indictment .is piub.ibly lound against
( icispacher , p.utlj' on aecount of Ins
unwillingiie s as a witness , and p.utlj to
hold him hcic as a witness on the aial
of the case. Their scorns to have been
nothing developed to hav implicated
Gcrspachcr in the minder of Hughes ,
except his own manner of testifying
befoic the coionor'.s juij1 and giand jurj.
In onler to have him testify in this case ,
and in view of tlieie being not sulHcient
evidence against him , the case agiiiibl
Gerspachor was ycslerdaj'dismissed by
the di&tiiet iiitotney , who then put him
on the bland to testify.
Colonel D.ulj' , on tlio part of the de
fense , objected on sovci.il grounds , but
the objections wore overruled , and the
questioning of ( ici.spaclier began. His
memory was .strangely defective , wonder
fully poor , and his "foigctt ° ry" wondoi-
fullj'good , lie ovhausted the paticnco
of the com t Ho testified to the men
beiiic at the hotel in the afternoon , and
talking together. Ho admitted that he
ordeied them to leave , but could not 10-
member whether thoqu.u rolcd or not ,
Thev weru talking , but not very loud ,
and ho could not lemcmbor what they
said. Ho told them that if they wcie
going to talk loud thoj" would have to go
eomowhoro else to do it. Finally ho ad
mitted that the reason ho ordeied them
out was because they vveio talking loud ,
but ho did not know as they weiomiarrul-
ing Ho lieaul Williams toll Hughes that
if it had not been for him ( Williams )
Hughes would not Imvo hcciun the partj'
Ho did not know that Williams was mad.
Thus ho wont on , forgetting and smooth
ing over matteis as best ho could , until
IKI came to the bccno of the shooting later
in the evening. Wdli.uns and Huclies
had some moio talk , but the witness did
not remember of Williams drawing a 10
volver fiom Ids pocket and pointing it at
Hughes , Ho did not leincmlier of his
draw ing anything out of his pocket , lie
was reminded by the district attorney
that on Thiuvclny the wiincastold him of
this fact , and ho sought to refresh his
mumoiy. He still could not bo lofreshed.
Finally the district attorney asked him if
it was not a fact that Williams did diavv
something fiom his pocket and
point it at Hughes. Gcrity.ichcr
bitid ho didn't know , and kept
insisting on Ids ignoianco until the comt
got out of patience , and gave the witness
a htinging lectiiio , He told the witness
that ho must answer this question , Ger-
snachcr began to got his memoiy back ,
and concluded that Williams did draw
either a revolver or a pair of knnoUles
fiom his pocket and point it at Hughes
( loroptiulicr jumped in and made Will
jams put it up , and kepi him fiom using
it. lie did not know whether it was a
ie\olver or not , but thought it was On
further examination on the purt of the
defense he said ho did not remember of
seeing anj thing in Williams' hand , but
thought ho had something. Within two
or three minutes one or two shots were
tired and Hughes foil to thn floor , and
the others of the gang inn out of the
house. The witness did not know who
iircd the shot. Ho did not know whether
it came from the direction whore Will
iams stood or not. Ho did not know
whether there was ono or two bhots tired.
An attempt was made to show that
( ienipacher had told dlfiereiit pailica
after the shooting that'Williams was Ilia
man who shot him , hut this was b.uxcd
out.
out.ir ) , Mncrao was called to testify as to
the condition of Hughes when ho was
called to eo him ,
Ofliccr O'Brien was called to testify as
to the major bein Inmo when hebrought
him buck fiom Bl.iir at the tune of ins
arrest.
C , D. Walters , who was at the time on
the police foice , tcslilicd as to seeing the
party in two or three siloons befoie the
shooting. He testified to Williams being
lame at the time ,
Jr. Hellingcr , who attended the il > ln {
man and held < i pq l-mortcm , described
the wounds in detail , there being two of
them , ono in the breast , ( he other in the
back.
Mr. Gicggs who at the time of the
tragedj1 was cmulo > od at the Metropoli
tan hotel , just opposite , testified to the
major , Uoaeh and Currau coming in there
about ten minutes befoie the shooting
and gelling a di ink. As they pas-cd out
one of them was muttciing to himself as
though in a threatening way. He heaid
the two shot's , and going to the door saw
the man with a limp and * another man
coming out of the pi ice.
'Hie case will piobibly be completed
to day It H not known what the defense
will be , but it is indicated that an at
tempt will bo made to get Williams off on
the theory that it was Ho.ieh who fired
the fatal shot , as the two were standing
near each other , and thus far there has
been no witness who tcstllies that he saw
Williams shoifl Thoelcikat the hotel
at the time , a joung fellow named
ONeill , has disappeared , and although
ho as well asGcuspacher were in the loom
when the shooting took place , he is not
hero to tcslifj- , and Geispacher says he
did not know who shot.
In icgard to the djing declaration of
H'lghes as testified to bjMr. . and Mrs.
t'nlhank , it seems that the defense was
going to advance the theory that I'oach
was some li.nes called majoi and that
Williams was not known by that title
until after the shooting , so that when
Hughes sUl ; that the maor | shot him he
meant Roach , 01 somcbodj' else , and not
Williams.
