Hardin g waa picked CP several dr later in Dunmnuir, CaL He had in his possession jewelry taken from the Col lina home. Mr. and Mrs. Collina both positively Identified him. N. EvsnoYT, first defenae witness In the murder trial of Dan Caeey, testified la Circuit Judge Kavanaugh's court this moraine that he had several chickens killed In the hack yrd at 129 Russell street, aad that this might explain the blood spots found br police and deputy sheriffs when Casey and John Ia Burns, his alleged partner In crime, were ar rested on June 17, three days after the murder of James Harry (Buck) Phil lips. Casey was dragged from under a bed In the house. He had a wound in his wrUt. The state claims he was wounded in a gun batU with Phillips In the Mocks bottom yards of the O.-W. R. S.. while the defense claims he was shot in a bootleggers' fight several' days prior to the murder. STATE'S THEORY GIVEN If the blood spots were from Casey's wrist it was made as he was slipping Into the house from the rear after the killing, the state believes. Edward h. Wells, meteorologist, tes tified that it was cloudy the evening of June 14. The defense Is attempting to show tt would. have been impossible for Harry Patterson, Itinerant Workman, to have identified two men 'who passed him as he eat on a flatcar Just before the shooting. He says they were Casey and Burns The state brought out that It Is possi ble for clouds to cover the sky on the west side of the river while it is clear on the east side. "Bob" Craddock, firearm expert, was the last witness for the state. His tes timony that it was an Infallible rule that no two guns are alike was attacked by the defense. Two .38 calibre guns were taken from thehome of Casey and Bums. "You ssy you are an expert in this line?" Seneca Kouti. defense counsel, anked. TUIAI.H ABE HEl'ALI.ED Craddock went oer the list of mur- de trials in which he had been called to testify. Among them was the famous Pender case. "In the Pender esse." said Kouts, "was not Tender convicted and after serving It years In the penitentiary did not another man confess to the crime?" -I understand so," said Craddock. "And was not his conviction based en tirely upon such circumstantial evidence sn you are riving in this case?" I neglected to explain." said Crad dock. "that I was a witness for the defense In the Peder case." Jury and attorneys Joined In the laughter. AUTO BEPAIB MAS GETS ISM VERDICT OS BILL OF It 'William Hawkinson 'thought that a garage and repair bill of $600 waa too much In view of the fact that he only paid f 100 for his car In the first place, so he decided to present his case in court instead of paying Fred Dundee, garage man, without a whimper. The case was heard In Circuit Judge Tas well's department and Dundee got a verdict for $500. No matter how old the car was. the garage did that much work on it. it was decided. The machine waa a 1909 steamer truck. DIVORCE MILL Suits filed : Hattie D. against John P. Mathews. Archie William against Mary C. Cotton, Agnes B. against Charles W.
