As the boy made this response Mali

The witness said that she paid no fur

she proved lo be Jtutt a* valuable lo th*
atate at the on* now In progress. Bh* Is
one of the few witnesses w bosn the de
fense mini* no effort to discredit or Im
pend). and she told *er story with a
simplicity, clearness and fulrne-s that
rned* a most favogable Impression on the
Jury.
Bhe said thot at ebotjt 3 o'clock on th*
afternoon of h# homicide. Mell came to

playing in th* hock yard and Mell hud
picked her up In hi* arm* The child

In a few- minutes Jimml* came up He
told Mell that be had come for his sis

h Idi-urr for the iSefenae.
The f.rwr witness for the defendant was
F°dce H rge<f>t \v. H. Fleming. The
wltne** said he knew the witness Fits*
Black, and had known the dead boy,
James Buxbee. In life He said that the
worn in h -ft kept disreputable houses tn

the boy was tough, bad and very stub

Rudolph Ltannenfelater. who had alei

George Radford was a more Intelligent
ind i more profitable witness for ths de
fendant. The lad sold he had met young
Ruxhee on the day he was shot, both of
Hh-m having attended the opening ses
sion of the Henry Street Bchool. They
started on their way horns together and
Hughe*, the witness said, had exhibited
a pistol for his admiration.
The witness sabl that young Buxbee
had fixed the weapon, which appeared to
be broken. In his sight. in response to
n question by a juryman, tho witness said
ib* weapon was not loaded.
The solicitor general or,** examined the
boy at considerable length, but he stuck
to hla story. The only weakness the so
licitor could discover was that there tra<

an affidavit made hy the lad and his evi
dence at the trial. In tho affidavit h*
said that young Bus bee w-* playing wtth
ihe pistol: In giving hla evidence he said
this whs no< the fwet.
Then came another string of witnesses,
voung women who said that they knew
that K.ixa Hl*ck when whe was called
Jennie Hughe* and that she then kept a
disreputable hou*e In Bavsnnah. With
great fmr.kness they all declared that
th. y had personal knowledge of thht fact.
The Prisoner's Statement.
"Gentlemen," said the defendant, when
he was placed on the stand to make a
s'atemetu In his own behalf. "I will tell
vou th* truth In this rase, and that's
what you have not heard."
Mell s-vld that two or three days before
the shooting he hod seen Jimmie Ruxhee
with a pistol In his hand and tobl him
that If he did no* atop carrying the
weapon he would get himself In trouble
On the morning of Oct 11. !*. he had a
lit:!# quarrel with Ids wife before he
started to work When lie .-ame ha** In
the afsertwon h* found the child. Anita,
had quarreled with her playmates and
they had gone away.
ll* plcki-l up th* child and hi* wife told
him to put her down. ll* had refused,
and hla wife had gone away with the
threat that she would get somebody who
would make him put the child down.
11l a few minuirs Jimmie Ruxh** cam*
up. The boy asked for the child ar.-l th*
defendant said lie told Jlmml* that he
could not have her. hut that when his
sister came, she could.
•' 'lt's not your chi d.' Jimmie said.
•' ‘Well, certainly, it la not yours.’ I
answered.
-That's all right; I*ll get even with
you, you nasty puppy.' he said, and wua
turning away, when hi* mother came up.
Bhe Is the cause of all the trouble; If It
had not been for her, I would not have
been compelled to shook Jtmmle."
The defendant retailed a scrap or two
of Miilr.gwgate that he said had passed
between hln.seif and Elisa Black ll*
-aid that Jlmml* had resented something
he ha-1 said to hi* mother and picked up
a rock
"t i.std him to put the ro-k down," said
the defendant, "and he said that he did
not hove to use th'- rock. With that he
pul ed hie pistol, and as he did *o I drew
mv own and fired. I was sorry to have
to shoot, bul I had to tn order to save
my life."
The defendant then told of hi# flight
from the scene of the homicide and hi#
surrender lo Patrolman Meklrim. when
the latt' r nano- for him at hi# mother's
home. "If 1 Il.td fell that I was guilty of
any crime." he said. "1 would have run
* tel not surrendered."
Again Mell repeated the statement that
hla mother-in-law was responsible for all
his trouble*. He had met hi* wife In the
disreputable house thai Jennie Buxbee
kept, th* girl had expressed an appar
emly sincere w sh to lead a better life
an-1 he had taken her away and married
her. It wws her mother that was con
stantly trying to atlr up strife between
them
"I have told you how the shooting was
don* snd why." said Mell, o the Jury,
In conclusion. "I don’t know what became
of the pistol that Jlmml# had. bus I kr.ow
he had one and Mr*. Black and Mi** Tay
lor would aay *o. too. If they would tell
the truth. Thwt * the whole truth, gen
tlemen. so help me God!"

lullia Black was re ailed to rebut the
