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
