rae, sr.. who attended Chllson at the Wo
man Christian association hospital, waa
taken.
The testimony of the eye witnesses was
substantially the same as has already been
published except there Is a difference of
opinion as to where Turner was standing
when he fired the shot which proved fatal.
Mr. Woodrlng of this Vlty. who for a
number of years has betn employed at
Lunkley'a undertaking establishment, was
most positive that Turner stepped back
onto the lower stop of the motor car and
waa within two feet of Chllson when he
fired. The other witnesses who were on the
car and saw the affray gave It as their
opinion that Turner was standing about
two feet from the car when he shot Chll
son. After the tussle between Chllson und
the negroes and before Turner fired the
fatal shot. Mr. Woodrlng handed Turner
his hat which he had dropped during the
scuffle. Mr. Woodrlng said he did not hear
Hill tell Turner to "plug" Chllson although

Dr. Macrae, who with Dr. Treynor oper
ated upon Chllson at the hospital, testlflcd
as to the nature of the wound. Dr. Mac
rae's testimony showed that the shot had
been fired at close range and corroborated
the evidence of Mr. Woodrlng that Turner
stepped back onto the car before he fired
the fatal shot. Dr. Macrae testified that
not only waa Chllson's clothes burned but
that there were powder burns even on the
Inside of the wound In the abdomen. The
hemorrhage resulting from the wound Dr.
Macrae described as "furious" and that
the wound from the first waa necessarily
fatal. He also testified that the post mor
tem examination had failed to locate the
bullet.
