In his eath struggle.
Defrsxse Adsaataae.
The oefense will contend that th
noie whl.-h Mr. Iiorres heard was
caused kr Wortman. who welahed
ahout i 1 i pounds, throwinc Hick-.,
much smaller man. against t'ie build
ing. This would tend lo uphold Hick s
contention of self defense, on the lee
timony of the witness considered aa a
whole, however, another construction,
favorable to the state, may be placed
The furniture man said that he wag
in front of his place of business watch
ing furniture unloaded from a van
shortly before the shooting occurred
and that he saw lilrks standing; on the
sidewalk about IS or 20 fret from him,
possibly waiting for a Brooklyn car
to convey him to his home, as It

point. Hicks remained standing In that
position for rlh,Jr r OT seven
irlnutes. Mr. Iwrre testified, and then
started walking slowly toward the wit.
neas. Hicks was within about flva
feet of him and the latter was about
lo address Hicks when a woman, a
Mrs. Plngenheltner. came down the
street from the direction of Grand av
enue and said she wished to pay Mr.
Iorres some money on account,
latertal A beat Tare Mlaates.
The witness entered tha store with
Mrs. Flnsenhelmer and walked slowly
with her to the office, a distance of
about 90 feet. He had provided her
lth a seat and was In the act of slt
tmc down himself when he heard the
commotion. He thought the Interval
hus h be three minutes, but his an
swers to questions Indicated that the
r rtHl wtrlch elarsed from the time he
entered tha store until the shot wat
f:red was probably much less. From
this the state's attorneys argue that
tr-ere was not much time for the at
tack upon flicks, which the defendant's
sttornevs allege occurred, and that
Hicks siiot with small provocation and
with little reason to believe that his
life was In danger.
Ir. W. tV. Hruce. the physician
alied Immediately after the shooting
and who performed the autopsy on the
JaJ man. said that the bullet entered
the left side and tore Its way through
the boily about an Inch In front of
U-e spinal column and Imbedded Itself
within an Inch and a half of the sur
face of the right side of Wortman's
body.
straggle la Uedaeed.
"From this testimony the defense
argues that the revolver was pressed
close against the victim aa otherwise
tf.e bullet would have come out on the
other side. The deduction Is thus
drawn that the two men were strug
gling when the shot was fired.
This would be directly at variance
with statements made by Special Prose.
utor taiis In addressing the Jury la
advance of the taking of testimony.
Mr. iMtvis contended that Wortman was
backing away from lllcks with JUs
l:ajid oier hla face when the bullet
was discharged and that Hicks fired
with his arm extended. Experts will
be called to testify as to how far the
bullet would penetrate under varying
t Ircumstances.
F.fforts of Attorney Malarkey to have
Jr. tlrtice give expert testimony met
with objection from the attorneys for
tha state, who pointed out that the
physician was their witness, and the
state would be pound by his answers.
Thev contended that he was not com
petent to ouallfy as an expert on gun
shot wounds. Judge Gatens sustained
three oblectlona to questions asked
bv Mr. Malarkey and told lilin that
) would have lo call the doctor as
h:s own witness and take the responsi
bility for his answers If he wl.hrd the
witness to give expert testimony,
tessarwa Held oeelaaMe.
Mr. Malarkey essayed a fourth ques
tion, which Mr. Paris declared railed
fr the opinion of an expert and he
described the action as "one of Mr.
Malarkey's little tricks. Ju.lee (Sa
lens Instructed the Jury to disregard
the remark of Mr. Pavla and urged the
attorneys not to Indulge tn personal
ities. Mr. Malarkev insisted on hav
ing his objection to hi" antagonist's
remark noted In the record, saying that.
ly Mr. Pavi might not tn Itself be
piejudiclal to the defendant, still, a
number of them might warrant a high
er court In holding that prejudice had
hern Injected Into the trial of the rase.
This drew a reply from Mr. Davis. In
which there was another remark re
f.olink on Mr. Malarkey. and the lat
ter again noted Ills objection In the
record.
Alter conslderahle bickering, the at
torney for the defense finally secured
a ruling of the court allowing Dr. Bruce
to say that a wound such as was dis
covered on Wortman body rould not
have been caused by Hick discharging-
the revolver with his arm extended.
Aaswer Held I alsaaartaat.
Attorneys for the stale affect to at
tach but little Importance to this evi
dence, saying that Hicks and Wort
man were moving about rapidly and
tliat only the testimony of eye wit
nesses ran establish what their posi
tions were with respect to each other
when the fatal bullet left the revolver.
The only other witness was Leo
Goetsch. a deputy coroner, who told of
cont eying the. body of Wortman to the
morgue. The effects found tn the dead
man's pockets were a jackknlfe. which
waa In a left side rear trousers pocket,
a handkerchief and a memorandum
book, the witness said. The memoran
book, which, according tn C.ntsi-h.
(i.Dliin'd addresses and entries of va-
rlotts kinds, was not produced In court,
and Mr. Malarkey s questions on cross
examination Indicated that the defense
might be much interested In Its produc
tion and contents. The witness said
be did not know what had become of it.

substantial benefit Finally after re

" Before I had taken one half a bottle
