sure!" replied Golden contemptuously. "I had my two legs then." Veitch wished to learn the exact location of the witness at the time he was shot and to that end referred to the model with the remark: "Look here. Here is the boat as it was at the dock." "I don't like to look at it!" said Golden heatedly. "I lost my leg on that boat!" [Illustration: EVERETT from the water. To the left G. N. Depot from where bystanders viewed battle.] The witness was in evident pain during the examination, having just had a hospital treatment applied to his raw stump, and was rather irritable as a consequence. He answered several questions rather sharply and proceeded to explain his answers. At one of these interruptions Judge Ronald exclaimed to the witness angrily: "When he asks you a question answer yes or no! If you want to live in this country try and live like an American!" "I take an exception to Your Honor's remarks!" said Moore emphatically. The judge grudgingly allowed an exception to his uncalled for statement. In concluding his examination Veitch asked the witness: "What is your name in Polish?" "I am not Polish; I am a Jew," replied Golden. "Well, what is your family name in Poland?" asked the prosecutor. "Goldenhaul, or something like that. Now I call myself Golden. When we come to this country--." "Never mind," interposed Veitch hurriedly. "When we come to this country for good luck we always change the name, you know," finished Golden, and added bitterly, "I sure did have good luck!" This ended the case in chief for the defense, the marshalling of such a mass of testimony from a host of disinterested witnesses, men, women and children, putting it on an entirely different footing from the prejudiced testimony brought forward by the prosecution. In rebuttal of testimony produced by the defense the prosecution introduced a series of witnesses. As in their case in chief every one of the parties who testified were in some way concerned in the case as deputies, jailers, police officers, dance hall habitues, detectives, and the like. The witnesses were W. P. Bell, Dr. F. R. Hedges, E. E. Murphy, Charles Hall, Rudolph Weidaur, W. J. Britt, Percy Ames, Harry Blackburn, Reuben Westover, Harry Groger, W. M. Maloney, Albert Burke, W. R. Conner, A. E. Andrews, David D. Young, Howard Hathaway, George Leonard Mickel, Paul Hill, E. C. Mony, B. H. Bryan, all of whom were deputies, D. C. Pearson, W. H. Brid
