wali for ten minutes or more, asking

Woman's Dying Statement.
At that juncture of the proceedings
Captain Berkeley anounced that he
would recall Sergeant T. A. Mit elicit,
who was the tlrst witness heard in
the I rial . He said'he did this in or?
der to get the last statement of the
dead woman, which was made to Ser-i
goant Mitchell before the conn. By
mutual agreement of the attorneys
the. jury was sent out of the room
while ihe question of Introducing this
evidence was being argued.
Afler the Jury went out Captain
Berkeley saltl that Sergeant Mitchell
would snv that he found the woman
in the room back of Dhltlng's saloon
with her head back, mouth open ami
gaping, ami with her rieht arm par?
tially paralyzed. The officer admin?
istered to the woman's comfort ns
l?at he could ami when she found
th attho otllcer was helping hor she1
asked him lo call a physician. During
this time Dora Hall exclaimed sever?
al times. "Oh Cod. 1 am dying' have
mercy on my soul." She then prayed
a fervent, thoiiph short prnyer. The
otllcer tried to persuade her lo If-ll!
him who shot her. Im; she would not
do so. Later the sergeant carried her
to the patrol wagon, took her to St.
Francis hospital and carried her In
his nrniti to the fv, irth floor of (he
hcspilnl. There he (old her that he
would tin everything in- could for her
If she would tell him who shot her.
sin- repled, "if i tell you he'll kill
me."
Sergeant Mitchell then replied thnt
he would protect bet ami she saltl
that Wltchewali shot her. Sin- then
told the officer to notify certain peo?
ple of her condition. i
Statement Ruled Out.
After hearing the statement of the
proposed evidence as given by Cnp
tain Berkeley, Attorney Alfred.Crane
o) Jerted to it on ihe grounds that her
reply about Wltchewali killing her If
she olid showed that she did
not know thai she would die within
a short time. After a somewhat
lengthy argument on this evidence
hv the attorneys, judge Harham ruled
that the fact that the woman was
afraid that Wltchewali would kill her
and had Id he promised protection by
the olflcer before she would make any
statement disqualified the evidence,
us a living statement.
Serceant Mitchell wn-i excused, the
jury was recalled to the court room
und Dr. T. .1. Kagey was called as
Ihe next witness. He said Hint he ah.
sisted Dr. .1. Kennedy Corss in per?
forming an operation oh Dora Hall at
the St. Francis hospital. When ask
cd what time the woman died he said:
that she was living when he left the
hospital at i:.'in o'clock Sunday morn
