Coquille Herald. W EDNESDAY, JAN. 9, 1907. The Shrieves-Taylor Case. to the condition o f the decesaed when in his care at she undertaking parlors. “ I examined the body and found five wounds. I am un able to say when the three wounds on the body were inflicted, as there was no swelling and were very dark. The wounds on the lip and over the eye were of recent origin, because the wound on the lip was a cut, and had not started to heal, and the wound over the eye was swollen and I was unable to remove the swelling.” Arthur Ransom, proprietor of the “ Pastime,” was next called. Mr. Ransom’s testimony was about the same as given in the preliminary trial. He said in part: After the fighting took place, Shrieves told me something about it, and stated that Talor did not want to go in 222, and had given Hayes and Coll ier a good beating. Hayes and Shrieves were both drunk before going to the sporting house, and Collier was very drunk.” % J. A. Collier, father of the deceas ed, and the state’s last witness was next called. The witness told about being called where the body of his son had been found. “ After I dis covered that it was my boy, I pro cured a rig and had him taken to the Gritman hospital. He was ex amined by Dr. Thompson. The ex amination took but a short time. Dr. Thompson said that there was no immediate danger. David died just three-quarters of an hour after he reached home. Shortly before he died his head moved slightly, and he struggled to get up on one shoulder. He seemed unable to get his breath. A t this time he was on his back, end when he turned over on his side, liquor ran out o f his mouth.’’ The witness bid cot state that he summoned Dr. Gritman, and that when he arrived, he (Collier) said: “ It is all over.” When Dr. Gritman arrived he told Collier that an examination was not necessary and that a thorough examination would be made by Mr. Grice. He denied making a statement to Mr. Grice to the effect that the boy sud denly gave a little gasping cry, drew up on one shoulder struggling for breath, and then died. Court adjourned shortly after 11 o’ clock and at 1:30 this afternoon the defence started on their evi dence. Below we give a portion of tie report of the trial of Shrievee and Taylor who the state of Idaba tried to hold responsible for the death of David A. Collier, late of this city, which we take from the Moscow Evening Journal, and which will be continued next issue: Contrary to the expectations of the counsel for both prosecution and defense the jury in the trial of J. H. Taylor and Hoy Sbrieves, was secured shortly after 3 o ’clock yes terday afternoon and precisely at 3:30 Leslie Hayes the first witness for the prosecution took the stand. The testimony o f young Hayes cor- roboiated almost to a dot the state ments he made in the preliminary examination last August. There were several minor dates and inci- dents, however, that slightly con flicted with his former testimony. During the cross examinations, Hayes at times seemed nervous and though his answers wore given in a rather listless, indiffernt manner, a certain hesitancy often compelled the attorney and stenograper to re peat the question several times. The detailed account of the event which occured on the fatal morning of July 31, was repeated as accura tely as possible by witness. The substantance of his testimony was as follows: “ We had all been drink ing heavily, Bollier was silghtly in toxicated. We were playing cards and drinking in the Idaho saloon early in the evening. I don’t re member what happened after we left the saloon until we met at the Pastime hall. After eating a lunch some one suggested that we visit 222.’ ’^ The witness then related how he became enraged ever a cer tain misunderstanding between him self and Taylor. They fought for several minutes and then he ran up town. He seemed to have but slight knowledge o f the fight be tween Shrievee, Taylor and Collier, the result of which is alleged by the prosecution to have caused the death of Collier. Grace Fleming, proprietress of the house of prostitution designated as 222, was tb a next called. Upon the request of Attorney Morgan for the N O R T H F O R K prosecution she gave to the jury a C L A IM S V IC T IM full account of the affair after the men had reached her home. “ It J a ck B oone D ro w n e d W h ile B reaking L o g Jam. was about 1:30 in the morning, stated the witness, “ when I heard On last Friday while with others loud talking in the street between making an attempt to break a log 222 and 111.
