The Shrieves-Taylor Case.
The eridenoe in ease of the State
▼eieua W. H. Sbrieve* and Roy Tay­
lor waa submitted to the jury abort-
ly before 4 o'clock this afternoon.
The progress made in the Shreivea
Taylor case yesterday afternoon and
part of thie morning was alow and
uninteresting. Especially is this
true with the evidence submitted
yesterday afternoon, when the fol­
lowing witness for the defense testi­
fied: C- L. Williamson, o f police,
Joe Heath, nightwatcb, C. L.
Jameson, O. F. grown, Dr. Clark,
Dr. David Rae. Dr, R. 8. Thompson.
E. F. McConnell, and Dr. C. L.
Gritroan. They all seemed to testi.
fy alike. The physicians who were
placed on the stand during the mid­
dle o f the afternoon corroborated
the statements o f Dr. Thompson and
Dr. Gritman as to the the conditon
of the deceased before and after hie
death.
Interest in the case seemed to liv­
en up a bit this morning when both
defendants. Roy Taylor and W. H.
8hreives testined in their own be­
half. Taylor took the stand imme­
diately following the opening of
court, and for nearly an hour sub­
mitted to direct, cross and re-direct
cross and re-direct examination.
Following is the story he told to
the ju iy: “ I met Shreives in the
Idaho saloon about 6 o ’clock. I
had been working nearly all the af­
ternoon with Grant Robbins unload­
ing a car of ice. After meeting
Shrieves, we plsyed several games
o f cards together. It was Hayes
and Collier who suggested that we
visit the red light district This
happened while we were in the
“ Pastime.” 1 did not want to go,
but Shreives wanted to talk to me
about Oklahoma, and at last I
agreed to walk down with him.
Hares, Collier and Shreives had
been drinking considerable. It was
because I did not want to g o into
222 that started the fight. They
kept pulling and hauling me, until
I got ma<I I did not strike them the
first tiffie I made a pass at them,
but the second time I hit Hayes.
Collier was standing right bock of
me, with bis hands in his pocket.
Ididnot know whether he had a gun
or not, and as I thought he was go­
ing to do me harm, I hit him. The
blow was struok withmy left hand,
and my fielcame in contact with hm
face. I did not strike hard. He fell
back on the sidewalk, and then rolled
over on the ground. Hayes started
to run up town and I followed him
about 40 feet, but he was too fast
for me and I could not catch him.
When I returned Collier was sitting
up on the sidewalk. I wanted him
to go with us up town, but he would
not. Shrieves then said that Grace
Flimings had telephoned for the
police, and we Shreives and I , start­
ed up town. We met Joe Heath,
told him of the affair and then went
back. W hen we arrived at the cor­
ner o f ‘A ’ and Almond streets, Coll-
ier was not there."
■‘When you returned, were you
not afraid that Collier would ahoot
you?” asked the prosecution.
No, I did not think any more
about it.”
"Y ou say that Collier was close
to you when you struck him. Now
tell ua how you struck him.”
“ I turned partly around when I
struck him. It was more of a push
than a blow. Collier waa ro drunk
that he fell over. I do not believe
the blow knocked him down.” “ Did
you strike Collier • second blow?”
“ No, sir.”
“ After he fe!\ did yon or Shreives
kick, or otherwise beat him?”
“ We did n o t"

The greater part of Shreives’ tes­
timony agreed with that o f Roy
