Gaunt didn't know who he shot until I tola him on our way into town." It Is understood from testl mony given that Watah was brought to the home of his daughter, Esther Swain, by Kel- sey Duffer and Emily Peek, In dlan men, who met Watah on the road a few minutes after the aged man was shot, Vernon Wilson, Klamath coun ty jailer, was called to the stand and identified pictures taken of Watah at Lightfoot hospital on January 20. The picture showed gunshot wounds in Watah's back. Dr. A. A. Soule who said he had practiced medicine in Klam ath Falls (or 29 years, was call ed by the state to testify he had treated Watah (or gunshot wounds. When asked by District .

The doctor continued to de scribe the wounds and presented a small glass bottle containing four pieces of shot which he said he took from the wounded In dian's body. The shot, Dr. Soule testified, had been in his pos session and kept in his office safe, since removed from Wat ah's back, leg and head. At this point Defense Attor neys E. E. Driscoll and J. C. O'Neill objected to Dr. Soule's testimony in the face of Watah's previous testimony that the shooting occurred on the night of January 4, and not January 12 as the time given when Watah was treated for "fresh gunshot wounds" by "Dr. Soule. The ob jection was sustained by Judge Vandenberg and Dr. Soule dis missed from the stand. He im mediately left the courtroom. The next witness called was Gordon Givan, 13, of Bly, who said he was staying all night with George Anderson on Janu ary 4. The boys were in bed and the loud barking of dogs outside the ranch house aroused them. George got out of bed, took a gun, and Gordon heard George's father, (Buck Ander son), admonish him to "run out for MAN and WIFE MOTHER and FATHER SISTER and BROTHER SWEETHEARTS TELEPHONE 5613 ..-.

Young Givan said George fired the gun in the air and then Rex Gaunt came from his cabin near the house and took the gun from George. Gordon said he saw a man go around Jim An derson's cabin which is close to the road and in front of the place. "I stayed in bed but watched through the window," Gordon stated. "I saw a man near the cattle guard farther away from the cabin than this room (is long). It was light enough to see and the man was walking toward the Piute road. Rex took the gun away from George. There was another shot, but not very long between shots. "O. T." was out on the front porch and didn't go out of the house. The next morning we went out and found a drop of blood in the middle of the road near the gate on the Piute road." The boy said he did not hear any "cries or yells' after the second shot was fired. He told District Attorney Sisemore he didn't know who fired the sec ond shot. t I Givan was dismissed and at this point Judge Vandenberg cautioned the attorneys to fol low the rule of "direct and cross" in the examination of witnesses. Kelsey Duffer- of Beatty was tlen called ,to the stand, and asked for his1 story. Duffer said he heard "four shots, all togeth er." He said he and another man, Emily Peek, were on the other side of the railroad track near the Anderson place and about 10 minutes after hearing the shots, caught up with Watah who told them he was shot. They lit matches and saw Watah's clothing "bloody all over." "Emily and I hid In the ditch when we saw a ear come out of Buck's place. We thought they might be after us," Kelsey said. When asked to explain why he and Emily thought they "might be after" them, Duffer said he thought they might be "celebrat ing," so they hid. Duffer said the shooting took place on a Tuesday night. He denied any of the persons mentioned had been drinking although he said Watah asked him if he "had a bottle," when they found the Indian on the road.

Later he said he had ridden around, and finally admitted to having been confined to the county jail where he was returned by the jailer after he was dismissed from the stand. The noon recess was granted a short time after James Rob ertson, member of the grand jury, was called to the .stand, and defense attorneys had ob jected to hearing testimony from Robertson as a member of the grand jury. As court convened at 1:30 p. m. Judge Vandenberg dls missed the jury and advised Robertson he would not be per- mitted to testify as O. T. An derson had voluntarily testified before the grand jury and Gaunt had not appeared, and the testimony from Robertson would involve Gaunt.
