The latter, however, declared Richardson drew it from a drawer in his bootblack stand while he himself was appoaching. The tes timony of Chief of Police Kearney to the elect that Tl had once tried to trade him a revolver of the same make and calibre of the one in evi dence and the fact that he rode his bicycle toward his home just follow ing the original quarrel were points dwelt upon by City Attorney Carter in his agument as indicative of the pobabllity that he went to his home, secured the revolver and brought It back to his stand.
