aald.
There were no splinters on the
' ehalr, and the doctor said he dis
covered none on the floor. En
larged, microscopic photographs
WMi-A then produced.
The largest was of the bullet
mark in the chair.
- The doctor pointed out to the
Jury the location or HDres irom
Horan's coat as they appeared
in the depression. The black
fibres were from the cloth and
the white were splinters of the
hair.
"What other examination did
you make!" the prosecutor in-
quired. . .
Rnllvt Photographed
This was in reference to photo
graphs of the bullet found on
the noor near uio ieio"
' ehalr.
"I found in the groove run
nine around the bullet, panic
of flesh and blood. There were
four black woolen nnres, menu
: ai with thnnA an the chair."
"Did you make a photograph
of the bullet!" ' . .
A photograph was Introduced
and accepted as a state exhibit to
' show the condition of fibres on
" the bullet Another was offered
to show the condition of fibres
around the edges of the bullet
hole in the coat. -. .
Horan's coat then was offered
- to Heinrich wno laenuueo.
"What did job find," the at-
fomnv oneatloned.
"Two holes, one in the sleeve
' and one in the back. There was
no blood aronnd th3 hole in the
back and a small amount on the
.sleeve. One button had come
lnnia fwm the threads.
"What maximum distance from
cloth will powder burns snowi
nut Around Hole
" "A Smith-Wesson weapon will
acorch at four inches. Powder
brands can be seen, np to four
feet," be answered.
Continuing his description of
.'the bullet hole in me Daca m
the coat, the doctor declared:
"I found surrounding the hole
. in the back, a naio or. oust
form and sise equal to the mark
' on the chair. I found it was
Tarnish dust the same as on the
chair. I 'compared the coat fi
bres with those fonnd on tlfe
: chair and bullet ana aiscovereu
"What about the fibres at the
' hole in the coat!"
"They showed a shearing or
cutting. There was very little
shredding.", the criminologist
"Do yon know what is the re
sult Of a DUliei nuie uiiwuga
cloth similar to a coat it it is
' banging lose or freet" was the
next question.
Roberts, the defense counsel,
objected. The objection was
overruled but the Judge permit
ted exceptions to be entered to
this and similar questions.
The contention of the defense
, was that it was within the pro
vince of the Jury rather than the
expert to determine this.
Heinrich continued:
"The . bullet tears its way
through the cloth and the fibres
are shredded. This cannot be
seen by the naked eye."
Then Cordon asked:
"Do you know the effect when
cloth is against a. wooden sub
stance and not free?"
"The fibres are punched off
against the wood and the ends
of fibres are sheared," said the
criminologist.
Two photographs were intro
duced by the state, both taken
by Heinrich in his California
laboratories.
Sweater Examined
The first showed the bullet
hole from the rear perspective.
1 The second showed the hole
as looking at it from the inside
of the coat.
The dust was pointed out to
the Jury as it appeared on the
back of the coat and the inclina
tion described by the doctor as
26 degrees.
Horan's sweater was handed
to the doctor for identification.
Ha said he found no powder
burns on it.
Further immediate examina
tion was baited by the morning
recess.
' Heinrich gave a detailed ac
count of the manner in which
he determined the weapon from
which each of three of the four
bullets had been discharged.
He said he selected cartridges
from one of the state's exhibits
and fired three test shots to show
the markings the guns would
make on the bullets,
Examined Each Bullet
He then examined the three
bullets the one retrieved from
the bookcase back of Manning's
red chair, the one picked up from
the floor near Horan's toot, and
the one taken from Horan's body.
He studied each bullet tor mark
ings made in Its passage through
the gun barrel.
The bullet from the bookcase,
Heinrich said, came from the
Iver Johnson revolver held in
Horan's band.
At this point, two pictures
were Introduced. One was a
photograph of the bullet taken
from the- bookcase. The other
showed a test bullet fired from
Smith and Wesson revolver.
Super-Imposed on each other, the
photographs showed that the rif
ling on the bookcase bullet was
wider than that fired from the
. Smith and WeReon revolver.
This, the witness inferred,
shows that the bookcase bullet
fired from Horan's side of the
desk,, was NOT fired from the
Smith and Wesson gun which
Manning handed officers. The
tatnrenoe wa thai earn from
Horan's hand
Glass Identified
In similar fashion, Heinrich
stated,' he established that the
bullet found on the floor near
Horan's foot came from a Smith
and Wesson gun. The bullet re
covered from Horan's body, also
came from a Smith and Wesson
gun.
There was nothing startling in
this testimony, inasmuch as the
duel or self-defense theory would
presumably admit that the bul
lets were discharged from the
weapons as Helnrlch's testimony
Had indicated.
The witness was then handed
a atate exhibit consisting of
tin box containing pieces of glass.
Cordon explained this was glass
picked np from Seventh street
outside the Manning law office
windows,
Heinrich testified he had fitted
the glass together and found
trademark on it. He also identt-
tied the bottle neck the state has
submitted In evidence. This ob
ject also assertedly was picked up
irom seventn street. Heinrich
said the bottle neck was the
same as when he first saw it,
except that it contained a cork
he himself had inserted to facili
tate Handling.
Stale Exhibits Onnosed
Cordon then -showed Heinrich

ed in evidence some time aeo bv
me state, Tne witness identified
the label and said he had photo-
grapnea it.
Roberta, defense - attornev.
qnltxed Heinrich before the pbo-
tograpn was admitted. In answer
to questions, Heinrich said he
made the photograph at Berke
ley, and that the negative was
made on March 8. He said he
took the label with him to California.
The exhibits went in over de
fense objection and Cordon then
led Heinrich back to the physical
evidence in Manning's office.
Bullet markings on tha nhplf
in Manning's steel bookcase were
then explained, and the bookcase
was set np again for the nnrnose.
There waa a graze mark along
the lower side ot one ot the
sneives.
Heinrich said there was a vari
ance of one and one-half inches
in the distances from the side ot
tne bookcase to the point where
the bullet first touched the shelf.
and to the point where it last
toucbed the shelf. Thus, the
bullet left a diagonal mark from
right to left, be indicated. .
The criminologist next was
questioned about pictures of fin
gerprints taken from the Iver
Johnson revolver the one fonnd
in Horan's hand. Five photo
graphs were introduced showing
pictures of prints found on the
gun.
Fingerprints Related
Roberts again asked permission
to question Heinrich. He learn
ed the witness had received the
gun on his first visit to Klamath
Falls, that he took It to Berkelev
with him, and that he made the
photographic enlargement to be
offered in evidence. Roberts ob
jected on the ground that the
gun itself was in evidence and
would speak for itself, but the
court over-ruled the objection.
Tne state s next procedure was
to call attention to flneernrlnts
taken from Horan's hands after
his death. Heinrich said he bad
compared these prints with the
prints on the Iver Johnson gun.
JUld you find any points of
comparison that would identify
any of the prints on the gun with
tnose taken from the hand of the
deceased?" asked Cordon.
'I found none," answered the
witness.
Cordon then asked Heinrich to
explain to the Jury how finger
prints are obtained and nsed for
identification purposes. The wit
ness went into a long dissertation
on finger printing, explaining
how the pattern of ridges on the
finger tips ot a hand constitute
Identifying material.
The special prosocutor then
asked the witness to answer
Questions concerning the photo
graphs ot each priut found on
the Iver Johnson gun.
Referring to the first picture
shown hiiu, Heinrich said tho
print was not good enough to be
used for comparison purposes. As
the other four pictures were
shown him, however, he stated
definitely he found no points
which would identify . the prints
on the gun with those from Hor
an's hand.
Cross Examination Monday
The last photograph shown him
he described as a "most excellent
print."
Cordon then learned irom
Heinrich that the latter had made
direct comparisons ot the pflnts
on the gun as wen as ineir
photographs, with Identical re
sults.
With this testimony, the state
announced it would turn Hein
rich over to the defense for cross-
examination.
Roberts asked for an adjourn
ment. He explained to the court
that in the past two or three day
he had made two or three tech
nical cross-examinations, and that
It would be essential to have more
time to nrepart for another,
Judge Wilson said he would
grant the request. The judge
also stated that attorneys In the
case had conducted themselves
commendably from the start, that
they had worked hard, and that
he would dispense -wlttt tne bat
urday afternoon session of court,
After some instructions to the
jury, and making arrangements
for jurors having business to at
tend to, the judge adjourned
court until 9 a. m. Monday. At
that time, it is believed, Hein
rich will return to the stand for
cross-examination.
It is also believed the state

People in the room stir In
their seats every time Heinrich
states that there is no similar

and those on the Iver-Jobnson
revolver found near his hand.
The state is through with
Heinrich at 11:35.- He has been
