nt Calhoun, who had attended the more seriously injured men who
were taken from the Verona on its return to Seattle, told of the number
and nature of the wounds that had been inflicted. On eight of the men
examined he had found twenty-one serious wounds, counting the entrance
and exit of the same bullet as only one wound. Veitch conducted no
cross-examination of the witness.

Joe Manning, J. H. Beyers, and Harvey Hubler, all three of them
defendants, gave their testimony. Manning told of having been seated in
the cabin with Tracy when the firing commenced, after which he sought
cover behind the smokestack and was joined by Tracy a moment later.
Beyers identified Deputy Bridge as having stood just behind McRae with
his revolver drawn as tho firing when the first shot was heard. This
witness also corroborated the story of Billings in regard to demanding
that the engineer take the boat away from the dock. Hubler verified the
statements about conditions on the Verona and also told of being taken
from his jail cell by force on an order signed by detective McLaren in
an attempt to have him discharge the defense attorneys and accept an
alleged lawyer from Los Angeles.

Harry Parker and C. C. England told of injuries sustained on the
Verona, and John Riely stated there was absolutely no shooting from the
cabin windows, that being impossible because the men on the boat had
crowded the entire rail at that side.

Jerry L. Finch, former deputy prosecuting attorney of King County, gave
impeaching testimony against Wm. Kenneth and Charles Tucker. Cooley
asked this witness about his interviews with the different state's
witnesses:

"If you talked with all of them, you would probably have something on
all of them?"

The judge would not let Finch answer the question, but there is no doubt
that Cooley had the correct idea about the character of the witnesses on
his side of the case.
