ness J. a-x' uuon was me nrst wu-
r ysworn. I reside at Astoria am
.egular phjsician, never saw O'Brien
jinlil I was called to attend to him,
never saw Pierce before t day. I saw
O'Brien Saturday night at Central
hotel, found him on back porch of ho
tel suffering frem the effects of a gun
shot wound, did not examine him fully
but had him sent to the hospital. It
was a few minutes after five o'clock
when I was called to see the wounded
man. I did not at that time ask the
deceased any questions
"Did O'Brien at that lime use the
name of defendant?"
"I did not hear him mention the
name, I only examined .him at that
time to see if he was seriously injured
and found him badly hurt. 1 made
an examination at the hospital and
found four wounds or rather six but
two.of them were wounds of exit."
The doctor stated to the court the
nature of the wounds."
"The wound that I found in the
spine was the wound that proved
fatal. I also found a wound in
the back which in my opinion would
have proved fatal. At" the time of be
ing called to see O'Brien in my opin
ion he was under the influence of
liquor. Two or three hours before his
death he said to me, 'I think it is a
clunas case with me,' I don't think
any statement that he made was
under the.sense of impending death.
The defendant never said anything
in my presence about Pierce.
He said that he knew who
shot him, but he did not say who did
it. I did not take any notice of the
condition of lus clothing.
J. P. Hynes swern: "I reside in
Astoria. My place of business is in
the same block as the Central hotel
I knew OBrien: I have seen Pieice.
I saw O'Brien and Pierce together in
my store. My clerk attended to them.
I did not hear O'Brien say anything
aoouc tne ODject oE their visit to my
store. Tne name or my clerk is J ames
Hynes. . I did not hear O'Brien make
any remark about him going out and
taking up a claim, in Pierce's pres
ence." Frank Cook swern: "I reside in
Astoria; have lived here 7 or 8 years;
I knew O'Brien; I know Pierce since
the 1st of the month. I never saw
him and O'Brien together prior to the
shooting. O'Brien lodged at the Cen
tral hotel, but did not eat there all
the time. After hearing some shots.
I rushed upstairs and got inte the
hallway where I met Pierce, who said,
ue will not Dotner me any more.' I
then went out on the porch and found
O'Brien lying there. Pierce was
armed with a pistol and a knife. I
took them from him and turned them
over to officer McCarthy. When I
first saw O'Brien he was lying with
his face to the river: looked at his
fie bed when I nntthft nnvArnu'nvp.r

After a little while he asked me to lav
on the bed, which I did. He then
tried to overpower me. I knew it
was no good to be afraid of him as he
might get the best of me. I tried to
get off the bed, but he held me there.
My revolver was on the the washstand.
I tried to get it. but he would not
let me up. After a while he let me up
and said come let me introduce you to
my cousin. I then tried to go out of
the room, but I found the door locked.
I did not lock the door. However,
he let me go out, and I went to sup
per. After supper my friend and I
went to my room O'Brien came up
after and my friend asked him for the
knife I gave him. He did not give
it to him, O'Brien asked us to have a
drink. We did not go with
him and drink, and he went
out, and we went to bed. The next
morning I slept late. In the after

kept on firing until he fell. Mr. Cook
then came up and took the revolver
and knife from me, and then placed
me in the custody of the police officer.
I fired the shots in defense of my
life and person. I am 18 years of age,
was born in Massachusetts. I have
been living with my relations back in
the states. My mother died when I
was five years old. I came out here
with my father's consent. I bought
the knife (shown in the evidence) to
use in hunting when I went to West
port. I bought the revolver back
east The reason that I'came out this
way was that the business was dull
where I was living, and I was dis
charged, and came out this way to get
something to do. We first went to
Westport; after staying there a week
we came to Astoria, and as my friend
is a carpenter, ho got work.
I was afraid of O'Brien when he
made the jump for me. that is the rea
son I shot him."
This ended the testimony. After
able argument by Messrs. Winton
and Hardesty, Judge May discharged
the defendant amid the applause of
the large audience.

O'Brien and Pierce. I saw O'Brien

tragedy."
W. J. Barry ealled and swern: "I

"1 did not offer Pierce anv reward
for making a confession. Pierce said
he did not see what else he could "have
done under the circumstances. I
then told him not to sav anvthintr
more unless oy the advice ot his attorney."
This closed the evidence for the nro-
tcution.
.Vfter a recessof fifteen minutes, the
examination was resumed on the part
of the defence, which began with the
testimony Ot Mrs. Bottom, who said:
"I have seen tne prisoner neiorc. 1
have seen O'Brien before.. Last
Friday night the prisoner and another
man came in front flf my husband's
store, and a little after that O'Brien
came up, and Pierce said 'You cannot
cet near enough to mo for that.' I
did not hear the beginning of the conversation.
Charles Hill being, sworn said: "I
knew O'Brien; knew him four years.
1 have heard a good many persons say
he was in the habit of seducing boys;
he triedvto do so to me. When he at
tempted it on me, it was two years
ago, in his joom over my father's res
taurant" Witness then told the court
how the man attempted to seduce
him. "At that tune O'Brien played
off drunk, but when he got me in the
room he was sober. My father kicked
him out ot the house and told him be
would kill him if he ever camo in
again. '
Bobert Carruthers, being sworn,
stated: "I was acquainted with
O'Brien. Saw him and Pierce near
the Sunnyside saloon on Friday.
O'Brien's reputation was bad."
Mat Byan was sworn and testified:
'Kuaw O'Brien; did not know the
prisoner. 0 Bnen was cooking for
me. I had a boy working for me who
told me that O'Brien had mwHd jb
scene displays in front of him."
P. A. Pierce, the defendant, being
sworn, stated: "Have known O'Brien
four or five days. Met O'Brien when
looking for the express office. He
came up to me and asked if he could
show me anything. I said 4I would
like for you to show me the express
office.' The next day he spoke to me,
asking me what business X T7Qii in. I
told him that I was looking for a Job
He said, 'I can probably get yon a
place at J. P. Hynes'. He then went
with me and paid a bill, but I did not
get the place. The next day he said
he would get me a claim ir your menu
will Btandbyyou, that night after a
little talk with him I went Jo feed.
The next evening he oame to my
room and wanted me to go around
with him and have some fun. I said
I am tired, and said my friend will
go with yon.- I then went and ha a
bath. When I returned to my room
I found my friend and O'Brien in my
room, they wanted me to go down and
have some supper, but I did not go.
The next morning I slept very late,
but when I woke up I saw O'Brien in
mv room standing against the wash-
gtand. We both went downstairs,
arid wnt around town a good deal.
Friday afternoon last we both met at
the Central house. After a while we
went to my room, and O'Brien laid on
era streets at about the same time Dr.
Henry -E. Jone's appeal from -the
judgment in the lower court which
awarded the deceased lady 31,000
damages, was being argued before the
supreme court.
Worked It For All It Wns Worth.
A few dayB ago a youth to fortune
and to fame unknown, arrived here,
ami last Monday night ran up against
a modest little faro game, where he
dropped S10. He seomed quite re
signed, and diving into his inside
pocket, produced a blank check on
the Spokane National Bank. "Well,"
said he, mournfully, "here gees: this
is the last of it. 1 reckon I might as
well buck this away with the balance."
Ho filled out the check for $320,
signed the name of "J. Baynet" to it
in good round letters, fair to see, and
passed it in: it was cashed; he got 16
big North American 20 dollar gold
pieces for it, and the game went on.
He won back his $40, dropped the
whole business into his pocket, went
out into the voiceless night "to see a
man." and hasn't shown up since.
Yesterday the obliging owner of the
faro game telegraphed to Spokane
Falls, and got an answer from the
bank there on which the check was
drawn, that they didn't know any "J.
Baynet," and that ho didn't have a
dime in that bank.
So that the game is out just S320
and the beverages.

ente, the Brazilian minister, has not
not yet been officially requested to

THE NEW REPUBLIC.
New York, Nov. 20 The Time?
Bio Janeiro cable says the Hag of the
new republic has been adopted and
the overthrow of tho empire accom
plished without the sacrifice of a
single life, and the new personnel of
the government is proceeding with its
work methodically as though it had
been in existence for vears. Dom
Pedro was offerej $2,000,000 cash and
provision for the rest of his life in the
form of an annual pension of $430,000
to be provided in the civil list of the
new republic, which was promptly ac
cepted, and he came to Bio Janeiro
with his family to embark for Lisbon.
Dom Pedro will go into perpetual
exile, their absence being regarded by
the leaders of the republic as essential
to the peace and welfare,- of the new
government.

New York. Nov. 20.- The boaid of

charging less on direct imports to in

FLOUR OUTPUT AT JUNNEAPOLIS.
Minneapolis, Nov. 20. There was
vpry little change in the amount of
flour got out by the mills last week,
the quantity still being large. The
I aggregate output for tho week ending
.November y, was 171,4110 barrels, aver
aging 28,581 barrels daily, against
173,690 barrels ike week beSorc and
149,500 for tho corresponding week in
1888. At present all the mills are be
ing operated to their utmost capacity,
not so much on account of any special
demand for flour as to get their pro
ducts forward before tho advance in
freights, whioh is expected to occur
on November 20, or soon thereafter.
The greater number of millers have
stiffened up prices, and tho strength
developed in the wheat market to-day
is expected to make flour more active
if maintained. The export trade is
less aotive, bids usually being lower.
The direct exports of flour last week
wero 00,760 barrels, against 06,100 bar
rels tho preceding week. Quotations,
London o. i, f., 2S0 peunds: Patents,
32 shillings to 32 shillings G pence;
bakers', 23 shilling, to 24 shillings; low
grades, 12 shillings to 14 shillings.
Beceipts here and at Dtiluth lack but
little of reaching 20,000,000 bushels,
connting the crop movement to have
begun August 1, and about 26,500,000
beginning with August 15, after
whioh loss old wheat was received
than now. A year ago at this time
the arrivals at the same two places
were 17,000,000 bushels, the difference
being mostly at Duluth. Two years
ago at this date tho crop movement
had been -1,500,000 bushels less, and
in 1886 it was 2,500,000 bushels
lesa than fur the samo time
this year. There were in each of
those' years larger stocks in country
elevators than now, which goes' far
toward removing tho difference be
tween those years and the present in
tho movement from farm granaries.
