ft gunman, that he habitually carried
concealed weapons, that Moore had
Made assertions that he had killed other
ten and that he showed scars of gun
fight wounds, that he was an expert
pistolman of the kind read of in "The
"Virginian" that his unerring aim wan
kaown to Bradley, and that Bradley
far some time was in fear of bodily
l'arm from Moore.
The attorney declared the defense
would attempt to prove that as a result
of the troublo over tho grocery bill run
up by Moore at Hanson's in Turner and
which Bradley stood good for until a
settlement was made and it was found
that Moore owed Bradley some $67,
that hot words were passed between the
men and -that then Moore threatened
the life of Bradley. From then on he
gaid the defence would show that Moore
evinced a kurely disposition against
Bradley.
What Killing Grew Out Of.
Moore at that time was living in a
house on the ground leased by Bradley
from L. H. Turner and the defense stat
ed it would show that Bradley told
Moore he wanted the house and that
Moore refused to go unless Bradley
bought his garden. Bradley is said to
nave asked Moore what he wanted for
it and Moore replied $100, which Brad
ley said was too much. He proposed
to. leave the natter for abritration and
Bradley chose one man and Moore a
second, and both these chose a third.
After the arbitrators viewed the garden
they fixed $5 as a fair price, and this
was indignantly refused by Moore. The
price, so the attorney said the arbitra
tors stated, was exorbitant and was
made, to get Moore off the place and
avoid trouble.
At the end of this affair, Attorney
Trindle said the defense would prove
that Moore rushed into his house and
came out with his hand in his pocket
As if he was armed.
The defense declared ;hat a few days
later Bradley attempted to plow near a
potato patch that Moore had planted
and and that he probably had plowed
along several rows of potatoes when
Moore again threatened Bradley's life
by. saying '-If he plowed that patch
gain he would be hauled out."
Moore Is Suspected.
The attorney told the jury that the
defense expected to prove that one
evening Bradley saw lights in Moore's
house later than usual, and that Brad
ley, who suspected Moore of carrying
away his oats, armed himself and went
to the field. There he discovered Moore
taking the oats. Then he sat down and
studied over what he should do, whether
to go after him or report him to the
authorities. While he was thinking the
matter over, Moore came back and sud
denly appeared from behind some
bushes before Bradley was aware he
was near.
Bradley then told Moore to "throw
up your hands" and Moore said "I
will," but ai the same time sidled
around and grabbed for his pocket
where he usually kept his gun. Bradley

M. Clough, coroner for Marion county,
was called to the stand.
Coroner Takes Stand.
According to the story of the coroner,
ho went out to the scene of the shoot
ing about mid-night and found a man
dead iu a field about twenty rods from
tho main road. This stubble field was
about three miles southeast of Turner.
The body was lying on the left side,
feet slightly drawn up. He said he ex
amined the wound but not the pockets
ot the clothes. He took trom the clothes
a pocket knife, a pipe, purse with ninety-cents,
and it pencil. He says he found
nnthinc nhmit the. s.'ene excetit the
I splotches of blood, and a 3-8 inch rope
eight or ten feel long. He found the
clothes were ordinary working garments
overalls, juniper, and thin shirt.
In his examination he found that the
buckshot had entered the heart but did
not go through the jumper, which was
open. He said men named ' Pun.rtou,
Bates, Will Moore and C. A. Baer were
present then.
The examination for the state was
conducted by Assistant District Attor
ney Heltzel. On being asked on cross
examination to produce the clothes worn
by Moore, Coroner Clough said he did
not think they were of any use as evi
dence and bunted them. This brought a
frown from Judge Kelly and a shock
of surprise to the attorneys. Attorney
Trindle stated, during a recess of the
court this morning, that if he had the
coat that was burned he could prove
that Moore was in the habit of carry
ing a gun. r '
Moore Had Eopa
The defense asked the coroner if he
found any heavy article on the scene
(meaning a pistol) andthe corouei re
plied he did not. lie was asked if tin
coat as he found it could hold a .32 oi
.38 caliber gun and he replied he
thought it could. Asked if Moore's
clothing was loose or tightly fitting he
replied that it was loose all over.
He was asked to describe the wound
and Baid he found it to be in the cen
ter of the breast with a radius of three
aud one-half inches. There were twelve
small bullet holes and the charge enter
ed straight from the front. The body
lay with the left hand under the body
and the right arm down on the side by
the hip. The rope was found doubled
over the left arm.
Coroner 'Clough was asked what he
did with the pocket knife and he said
he gave it to Mrs. Moore. This brought
another frown from Judge Kelly and
a smile from the attorneys.
The coroner was dismissed to get the
rope and bring it in as an exhibit.
Dr. Fisher Testifies
i Dr. E. K. Fisher was the next wit
ness called and his qualifications as
an expert physician and surgeon were
admitted without going into details.
His testimony relative to the location
of the wound aud its size was the same
as that of Coroner Clough. He said he
made an examination of the body and
that he found places where three bul
lets had gone in so close together as to
make one hole, and in several other
points two had made one hole. He prob
ed the holes and found they extended
six or eight inches straight back and
were of such a nature they would cause
instant death to any person receiving!
them.
He showed on a diagram where the
bullets struck and pointed out how!
some went through the base of the
heart and the stem of the right lung
just below where the bronchial tubes j
entered the lungs. He said the nature j
of the wound was such that any one re
ceiving it would drop in his tracks and
oe able to make no -voluntary move
ments, and never utter a sound.
Dr. Massey, of Turner, was next call
ed and he said he knew Moore and that
he was called about 11:30 o'clock that
night to attend a man who wag shot.)
He said he found the man in a field
south of Turner, and that men named;
Ben Funston, Will Moore and C. A.
Baer were present. He said he found
the man was dead and made only ai
cursory examination. He saw the coro-j
ner examine the body but found no'
weapon. They examined the ground by i
lantern light but did not find it torn
up as might be expected if there hadi
been a fight.
Heard His Father Tell of It
In looking over the ground he said!
he found three splotches of blood seat- j
tcred along for about six feet. Un cross
examination by the defense he stated
that the blood splotches were parallel
with the lino of bushes from behind
which Moore is said to have come. He
said they probably were caused by the
spurting blood during the act of fall
ing or reeling after the shot. He said
Moore's clothes fit him comfortably.
Gerald Owen Bradley, step-son of
-. E. Bradley, aged 15 years, was next
called by the state. He testified that
he was at home on the evening of Aa

also at home- He said that he left the

New Hitch Prevents Reaching
Agreement Anticipated
Last Night
San Francisco, Sept. 21. Gavin Mc
Nabb. local attorney, today received
a ' telegram from Washington appoint
ing him official United States media
tor in the strike of ironworkers which
has tied up San Francisco bay ship
building. Heretofore W. T. Boyce, assistant
immigration inspector, has been serv
ing as mediator. It is not known wheth
er he will be replaced by McNabb or
will continue to work in conjunction
with MclS'abb.
Representatives of employers and
ironworkers are deadlocked.
Despite statements by federal agents
that a settlement, permanent or tem
porary, would be reached before Mon
day, representatives of the ironworkers
reclared today that they see no imme
diate prospect of a settlement. Their
nerves strained to the utmost as the
result of the long hours of conference
through which they hud passed, spokes
men of the employers and unions ap
peared far from optimistic today. They
admitted that no basis of adjustment
had been reached-

This sudden turn in events followed
announcements bjy fedei'al represent
atives indicating that a settlement was
only a matter of hours. It is understood

and that his father was there then. He
said he went to bed about nine o'clock
aud did not know where his father was.
He did not hear a gun shot. He said
said ho was awakened by the barking
of a dog. He heard his step-father say
to his mother: "1 shot hiin and I
think I killed him. 1 told him to put
up his hands anil he started to draw
his gun. He was so close it was all I
could do."
The boy was excited as he told of
this part and he tallied fast. He then
related how his father told hiin to go
after a man at a farm and how he took
a horse and rode away s quickly as
possible.
Bradley's Surrender
Charles E. Burns, deputy warden nt
the state penitentiary, took the stand
and identified A. K. Bradley as the
man who came to the peniteutinry on
the night of August 22 between eleven
and twelve o'clock and gave himself
up and asked tor protection, lie sai.l
he stopped in front of his house and
called for Murphy. He said he was
standing near the big gate nrnl cMloil
him to come there. He said Bradley
wanted to know if Murphy was there
and he was told he was not. He sta-t-ed
to ride away when one of the men
told Bradley Burns was a deputy war
den and then Bradley told hiin he had
killed a man and wanted protection
Burns said he seemed to be afraid of
Moore's brother.
Burns told of calling up Sheriff Need
ham and of getting the details of the
story from Bradley. He was then ex
cused and the court took a recess.
After the recess, the taking of tes
timony was continued. The general run
of the testimony concerned the situa
tion on the night of the shooting, the
disposition of the body when it wis
found, and the events related to the
trouble between the two men.
Sheriff Needham was placed on the
stand and he testified that Bradley
had a .45 caliber pistol in addition to
his shotgun. OtherB who were on the
witness stand were Mr. Thomason,
Will Moore, brother of the deceased,
and Mrs. Moore, wife of the deceased.
Mrs. Moore denied any knowledge of
the rope that was introduced in evi
dence this morning as being found on
the left arm of Moore. S'he said she
never had seen it about the bouse and
that she did not know it was iu exist
ence until she saw it this morning
She related the incidents concern
ing the dispute over the wages and the
grocery bill, and she stated that when
the settlement was made Moore had
14 days more of work than Bradley
bad him credited with. That was in
June. She admitted she did not hear di
rectly of the trouble between the two
men except what Moore told her.
On the night of the shooting she
said she had been lying on the bed and
was partially in a doze when she was
fully awakened by a gunshot. She de
scribed the incidents relating to the
finding of the body.
other witnesses were called but the
testimony brought forth little that was
new.
El
ations litis been the fact that the ship
building industry is only one of many
industries affected by the strike. The
government mediators were apparently
interested only in that industry, while
the Iron Trades Council insists on a
simultaneous settlement of the whole
strike and not the shipbuilding strike
alone.
Negotiations were resumed this af
ternoon. The employers representatives in the
conference, however, ropeatedly declar
ed if the men will resume work tem
porarily, they' will agree to make the
final terms of agreement retroactive
and effective September i
It is estimated that the strike is
causing a daily loss to San Francisco
of UttJ.W.UOO.

Portland, Or., Sept. 21. Today found
both the striking shipbuilders and the
yard operators waiting for government
action.
..oth sides were predicting an early
settlement, yet, each was firm in refus
ing to yield one point.
Looking for Spy Who
Infests Custom House
San Francisco, Sept. 21. Federal
agents today searched for a clew to the
identity of a German spy who makes
the customs house here the center of
his operations.
A series of unexplained incidents be
gan with the theft of a master key to
the building two weeks ago, from a
woman caretaker. Then the night
