Agency Missionary Testifies. Rev. Mark Hart, the agency missionary, him self a full-blooded .Indian, testified. that he received the sack containing the revolver from Jordan, and took it up and gave it to his (Jor- dan's) wife. Hart's, tent was within a few feet of the tent oceupled bj the Jordans, and he testified that, he heard no angry- talk, but saw Mrs.-- Jordan sitting in the entrance with her head bowed, and stepping back into bis own tent for a few minutes, heard a shot tired. He ran out and found the woman lying dead at the tent entrance where she had been sit ting, and, looking into the tent, he saw Jordan sitting up as tho he had just been aroused from a drunken stupor, while the revolver lay at the feet of his dead wife. "How did he look?" asked Jamea A. Brown for the defense. The witness squatted on the floor, threw his head forward and. swayed from side to side sleepily. "He looked like this. I don't believe he knew anything about what he was doing," volunteered the Indian. "I move that that ,last remark be stricken from the record," said District Attorney Houpt.
