and when she called to him he asked
to bo allowed to speak to Mr. Rich
ardson. Sho says she replied that
Rlchardaon was not there, and asked
him to wait until Mr. Hunter re
turned. Kuehne then, said the wit
ness, resumed his march around the
place. Sho says ho was armod with
two rifles, ono on a strap over his
shoutder,.the other In readiness for
use, and his actions made her ex
tremely nervous.
The witness stated that wben ahe
aaw Hunter starting to come nono

children In the basement. The baby,
not a year old, waa undressed, so
she wrapped It In a quilt to keep It

the children's ssfety, and she bsgsn
to cry.
Defore her narrative reached the
point where Hunter turned In the gate
and Kuehne began to (Ire at him, .Mr.
'Hunter was again composed. As Hun
ter got out of tho wagon and opened
the lower gate, Mrs. Hunter says
Kuehne fired a regular fusillade at
him.
When Kuehne opened flro on hor
husband, Mra. Hunter says she went
to the front porch, where Lawrence
had also rushed, and that Kuebne
then began to alternate his Are be
tween Hunter and the two on the
porch for about a dotes shots. After
shooting at least twloe with the IB-tO
at Kuehne, Mrs. Hunter says she went
Un the house for fear of getting shot
by Kuehne'a volleys.
"In the front room, I looked out
the north window and saw Mrs.
Kuebne with a gun pointing at me.
said the witness. "I shot. the 16-lu
out the window toward her. She took
two steps baokward, sat down, and
afterwards laid down."
Just afterwards, she said, Hunter
came by la hi wagon, stopping i
the back door. As Hunter cam la
I was saying," she answered. She
stnted that while Kuehne was walk
ing around the ranch house sho Im
plored Inwrence to assist her, or do
something, saying that she could not
get along without her husband.
"What did you exclaim to your
husband aa he waa getting out of the
wagon?" Renner asked.
"At that time I thought I'd ahot
Mrs. Kuehne, and I told him so," she
replied. Mrs. Hunter also said ahe
did not Are at Kuehne until Kuehne
had flred toward the porch where ahe
and Iawrence were standing.
J. O. Bwlndler, the drat witness
called after the afternoon recess yes
terday, stated that In a conversstlon
with W. H. Todd last month, Todd.
speaking of Lawrence, said: "If they
let that s of a b go they'll

Impeach Todd's testimony that he
made no such statement to Swindler,
Dr. Warren Hunt testified to re
moving a bullet from Lawrence's left
arm at the hospital last spring after
the'troublo in which W. H. Todd shot
Lawrence. The bullet war introduc
ed aa evidence by the defense:

by Kuehne as Hunter drove on the
place with some barrels of water,
wont on the stand at S ; 65. He atated
hla age as 3 years, and said that
besides his wife his, family consists
of four children, their ages ranging
from seven years to a few months.
He stated that he had been living
on tho disputed homestead for. two
months and a half prior to the shoot
ing. He said he did this under an
arrangement with Lawrence, but ob
jections by the state prevented any
explanation of the- terms of this ar
rangement. Hunter said he was a witness at
the trial of Lawrence on an arson
charge. He testified tyt the day fol
lowing the trial he met Wash Adams
in front of a local store. Hunter
said he was carrying thirty feet of
ropo at the time, and that Adams
stated Hunter had "better take plenty
of that along, as we'll use it on that
place pretty soon.". Adams dsnled
this In his examination.
